Title: Multicore optimizations for sparse matrix kernels

Abstract: 

I present recent work, joint with the Berkeley Benchmarking and OPtimization
(BeBOP) group, on optimizing the performance of sparse matrix-vector
multiplication for current multicore systems. I'll also give a broad overview
of the design and implementation of OSKI, an autotuned sparse BLAS-like
library, emphasizing how its internal data structure representation supports
optimizing transformations relevant to multicore.

This work is joint with Sam Williams, Lenny Oliker, John Shalf, James Demmel,
and Katherine Yelick.
