This figure shows the weak scaling of a parallel FMM-based fluid solver on GPUs, from 1 to 4096 processes. The FMM (fast multipole method) is used as the numerical engine in a vortex method fluid solver, simulating decaying isotropic turbulence. The reference method for this application... Continue »
Professor Barba was selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium 2012. Here is a reflective note she wrote after coming back from this event in October 2012. Engineering education changes slowly. At the first engineering schools in America—West Point (1819), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1828), University of Virginia (1833)—a professor lectured at... Continue »
Contribution to Boston University's First Annual Instructional Innovation Conference, held March 27, 2009.
Describes the use of digital inking on electronic slides during lectures, and live recording of screencasts, as used by the author during her teaching in Spring 2009 for the Fluid Mechanics course... Continue »
