Abstract:
|
Data-rich, 21st century science and commerce is challenging Computational Statistics. This round-table discusses how distributed cloud computing, multi-core and massive many-core parallelization through graphics processing units (GPUs) can provide several orders-of-magnitude performance boosts in simulation, optimization and stochastic search methods for fitting and evaluating complex models with increasingly large data. Software libraries, hardware technology and novel statistical algorithms are all on the table.
