"ScAlBox": Peter Sanders receives an ERC Advanced Grant

2020-04-06T10:56:07+00:00

Peter Sanders receives an European Reasearch Council's Advanced Grant for his project "ScAlBox – Engineering Scalable Algorithms for the Basic Toolbox". The ERC selects and funds the very best, creative researchers once a year to run projects based in Europe. In his project "ScAlBox" the computer scientist Peter Sanders develops basic computing tools for many different applications at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Department of Informatics. The project's goal is to provide algorithms and software libraries that can handle very large amounts of data and can be executed on millions of processors working in parallel.

Release: Sequential and Parallel Algorithms and Data Structures -- The Basic Toolbox

2019-09-05T16:00:28+00:00

The second edition of the textbook Algorithms and Data Structures -- The Basic Toolbox by Peter Sanders, Kurt Mehlhorn, Martin Dietzfelbinger and Roman Dementiev has been published. The book includes parallel techniques in every chapter as parallel processing can be found in every real world computer. Therefore the book title changed to Sequential and Parallel Algorithms and Data Structures -- The Basic Toolbox.

The target group includes students and professionals who are proficient in programming and basic mathematical language. The intention is to learn about the basic algorithmic toolbox. This includes structures that enable efficient organization and retrieval of data, algorithms for problems on graphs and generic techniques for modeling.
