Abstract

  • 13:00-13:40 “Drawing Geometric Figures in WASAN by Geogebra”, WAKI, Katsushi (Yamagata University)
    • There are many geometric problems in WASAN. We are trying to reuse these geometric problems as mathematics teaching materials by Geogebra. In this lecture, we will introduce the drawing tools made by utilizing the drawing method which is also used for solutions to Apollonius’ problem.

  • 15:00-15:40 “Introduction of useful database and web tools provided by DBCLS in life science field”, ONO, Hiromasa (Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research, Research Organization of Information and Systems)
    • In the life science field, the era of big data began in the late 1990s, owing to rapidly grown projects such as Genome and Omics projects. As a consequence, thousands of databases have become publicly available around the world. It is not an overstatement to say that the entire knowledge in this field transforms itself as databases, and to make most of the databases is indispensable for the progress of research. However, many comments from users complaining the hard-to-use databases suggest that these databases and the surrounding environment are not sufficiently refined for the efficient utilization. Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) continues to enhance web services and contents so as to deliver the value of the database to researchers who uses the databases daily. In this talk, I will introduce the convenient databases and web tools in life science field that anyone can use provided by DBCLS.
  • 16:00-16:40 “NUMA-aware efficient computation of graph centrality using ULIBC and NETAL.”, YASUI, Yuichiro (Nikkei Business Publications, Inc. / Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University)
    • We will introduce our softwares ULIBC and NETAL that work well on current computers based on NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architecture. Typical data intensive applications often occur performance problems due to different costs of memory access on such computers. Our ULIBC provides some APIs, which manages memory accesses, such as placement of running threads and data layout. Our NETAL based on ULIBC reduces high cost memory access on a NUMA system. Finally, we will report our implementation of parallel breadth-first search based on ULIBC, and our achievements of Graph500 and Green Graph500 benchmarks.
