COVID-19 information for PI Residents and Visitors
Formerly known as SHARCNET's Research Day, this event has been expanded for 2014 and is expected to be the premier annual event where Ontario researchers meet to learn about each other's High Performance Computing (HPC) related research. This includes both research performed via HPC as a science tool, as well as research regarding HPC itself. Research Day welcomes everybody, not just participants from Ontario.
Compute Ontario Research Day will be held on May 7, 2014, at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We anticipate oral presentations of 20 minutes, with select presentations of 30 minutes. There will be a poster session as well. Saul Teukolsky (Cornell University) has graciously agreed to deliver a keynote presentation.
As a geographically local meeting, Research Day is an excellent opportunity for students to advertise their projects. We anticipate offering a prize for best student presentation and/or best student poster.

Solving initial-boundary value problems without numerical differentiation
The numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations with nontrivial boundary conditions is central to many areas of modelling. When high accuracy is required (pseudo) spectral methods are usually the first choice. Typically in this approach we search for the pre-image under a linear operator which represents a combination of spatial derivatives along with the boundayr conditions in every time step. This operator can be quite ill-conditioned. On a basis of Chebyshev polynomials for instance the condition number increases algebraically with the number of basis functions.
New insights into polymer-induced drag reduction in turbulent flows
Polymer additives are known to cause significant reduction in turbulent friction drag and reduce the energy dissipation rate of fluid transport. This effect is however bounded by a universal upper limit the maximum drag reduction (MDR) asymptote that does not change with polymer properties. Understanding MDR remains an important unsolved problem in the areas of turbulence and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. Dynamical trajectories on the boundary in state space between laminar and turbulent plane channel flow - edge states - are computed for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids.
Simulating the Capture and Translocation of Rigid fd Viruses though a Nanopore
The passage of long biological molecules from one side of a membrane to the other through a nanoscale hole has been the subject of intense research in recent years. Motivated by the possibility of new sequencing technologies the focus of this work has been studying the translocation of DNA across biological and synthetic membranes. In this talk I will present results from a joint experimental-simulation study examining the translocation of rod-like fd viruses through a nanopore.
Recent advances in the search for complementary sequences
We will present recent developments in the search for complementary sequences namely new theoretical and algorithmic progress. SHARCNET resources are used quite heavily in this project.
