HW 2 due today
- Get set up with XSEDE

Proj 2 is posted (due 2 wk)
- One more “regular” project after this
- Most meetings for next two weeks go to project
- Plan is to use lectures as drop-in OH
Slides for next two weeks: numerical LA
- Do try to keep up with slides!
- I will answer questions about these in OH, too

Goal: Understand/improve performance on code of interest
- Could be single-core tuning
- Could be parallelization
- Could be an algorithm investigation
- Or more! Just ask!
Great if it is applicable to your research
- Also fine if it is completely different
Main outcome is a report
- Great if it is at a conference paper level
- But this is not necessary for success
Teams of 1-3, your choosing
Idea: advertise your project idea on Piazza
If you want ideas, ask me
