There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"The LP2 library: an easy way to multi-thread programs dealing with unstructured meshes"
Abstract:
"As of today, programers willing to multi-thread their code are provided with many choices like OpenMP, UPC or various compilers featuring automated parallelization. Unfortunately, they provide no easy way to handle loops that perform indirect memory accesses, which are common ground when dealing with unstructured meshes. The LP2 allows for parallelization of such loops with the help of dynamic scheduling and space filling curves.If I have enough time, I will also discuss HEXOTIC, an automated hexahedral mesh generator combining octree, dual-mesh and buffer-layers. Even though many methods have been suggested to meet the challenge of all-hexahedral meshing, octree-based methods remain the most efficient from an engineering point of view. As of today, its speed and robustness are still unmatched. This paper presents advances made in the Hexotic project, especially in terms of automation, sharp angles meshing and adaptation."
Bio:
"I have been working on automated mesh generation for twelve years in the Gamma team at INRIA / FRANCE. My main research subjects are, hexahedral meshing, adaptive meshing and surface meshing. I am also working on multi-threading as a side project"
