Data Assimilation and Feedback Control Algorithm for Dissipative Evolution Models Employing Coarse Mesh Observables

  • Where: Shaffer 304
  • When: March 14, 2018, 15:00
  • Edriss Titi

Abstract: One of the main characteristics of infinite-dimensional dissipative evolution equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations and reaction-diffusion systems, is that their long-time dynamics is determined by finitely many parameters — finite number of determining modes, nodes, volume elements and other determining interpolants. In this talk I will show how to explore this finite-dimensional feature … Continued

Computing Just What You Need: Online Data Analysis and Reduction at Extreme Scales

  • Where: Hackerman Hall B-17
  • When: December 05, 2017, 10:30
  • Ian Foster

Abstract A growing disparity between supercomputer computation speeds and I/O rates makes it increasingly infeasible for applications to save all results for offline analysis. Instead, applications must analyze and reduce data online so as to output only those results needed to answer target scientific question(s). This change in focus complicates application and experiment design and … Continued
