Currents in Applied Mathematics

1. Cluster Computing: Yale's Applied Math Program has pioneered a novel clustered computer architecture that balances the needs for CPU intensive ('compute bound') and data I/O intensive ('I/O bound') computing. A detailed asymptotic mathematical analysis of the new system shows that it avoids the common pitfall of parallel, cluster computing, often called 'Amdahl's law', in which bottlenecks appear and cluster performance saturates quickly to a fixed level, even as the number of compute nodes. This new cluster is the basis for the design of a computational environment for massive dataset analysis, a so-called 'petabyte-scale storage facility', which will enable path-breaking data-intensive analyses in fields as diverse as biomedical systems, financial analysis, image processing, next-generation search engines, etc. See press release.

2. Applied Mathematics courses, Fall 2007/Spring 2008 (Official Yale College program and course information is found in Yale College Programs of Study, available on line at www.yale.edu/yalecollege/publications/ycps/.)"

3. Optimization Workshop

4. Tutorials on Geometric Harmonics.
