State-of-the-Art GPU Numerical Computing

APRIL 24–25, 2025 | UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE, KNOXVILLE

The University of Tennessee's Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) hosted a two-day workshop honoring the life, legacy, and scientific contributions of Dr. Stanimire Tomov. Stan was an extraordinary researcher, a respected leader, and a cherished member of ICL for over two decades. He passed away on October 11, 2024, leaving a profound and lasting impact on the fields of GPU computing and dense linear algebra.

In tribute to his contributions and spirit, State-of-the-Art GPU Numerical Computing brought together colleagues, collaborators, and former students for two days of technical talks and shared memories. The workshop featured presentations on cutting-edge advances in numerical computing, along with time to reflect on Stan's influence, mentorship, and friendship.

Stan led the MAGMA project and served as a research director at ICL before joining NVIDIA in 2024. His technical brilliance, collaborative spirit, and deep kindness helped shape the culture and success of ICL. This workshop was an opportunity to celebrate his legacy and continue the conversations he inspired.
