Robert Robert van de Geijn
Edit ProfileCareer
His areas of interest include numerical analysis and parallel processing. Van de Geijn"s has turned toward the theoretical, in particular with his development of the Formal Linear Algebra Method (FLAME). FLAME is an original effort at formalizing the efficient derivation of linear algebra algorithms that are provably correct.
This approach benefits from his less theoretical experience.
lieutenant is designed to ultimately lead to the efficient design and implementation of these algorithms. He is the principal author of the widely cited book
Using PLAPACK—parallel linear algebra package. Scientific and engineering computation.
Cambridge, Mass: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 1997.
Robert van de Geijn was born in the Netherlands and moved to the United States while still young. They live in a historic house in downtown Pflugerville, Texas.
