The emergence of stupendously large matrices in applications such as data mining and large-scale scientific simulations has rendered the classical software frameworks and numerical methods inadequate in many situations. In this talk, I will demonstrate how building domain-specific compilers and reformulating classical mathematical methods significantly improve the performance and scalability of large-scale applications on modern computing platforms.

While technologies exist that are either marketed for or can be adapted to the monitoring of toddlers and school-age children, parents' perspectives on these technologies have received only limited attention.

Jeff Avery, PhD candidate

Despite the ubiquity of touch-based input and the availability of increasingly computationally powerful touchscreen devices, there has been comparatively little work on enhancing basic canonical gestures such as swipe-to-pan and pinch-to-zoom.
