Highlights
		TOPS researchers engage in many areas of algorithmic research, software development, and applications integration. The highlights listed here will be updated periodically.   Overview:Research, development, deployment of a toolkit of open source solvers for PDEs that attain the highest possible computational performance by accomodating to distributed hierarchical memory architectures Field Solvers: Creation of a new generation of solvers for PDE field problems Eigensolvers: Design of next-generation large-scale eigenanalysis software Optimizers: Creation of optimization packages leveraging and integrating scalable solvers Performance: Research of innovative strategies to tune the kernels arising most often in solving sparse linear systems
