This studentship is part of the School of Computer Science Scholarship 2025/26. It focuses on developing mixed-precision algorithms for numerical linear algebra on next-generation exascale supercomputers.
Research Context
Exascale computing requires exploiting multiple precision levels to balance accuracy and performance. Mixed-precision methods can dramatically speed up large-scale simulations.
What You Will Do
You will design and implement novel mixed-precision linear algebra routines, test them on state-of-the-art HPC systems, and analyse their numerical stability and efficiency.
Key Research Aims
- Develop efficient mixed-precision algorithms for common linear algebra operations.
- Evaluate performance and accuracy trade-offs on exascale architectures.
- Contribute to open-source scientific software libraries.
