It has raised $25 million from top venture capital firms and has between 100-200 employees, though its current valuation is unknown. The platform saw early success with over 18,000 daily active users but faces challenges from competitors like Blogspot and uncertainty around maintaining growth.
Adams_SIAMCSE15Karen PaoThis document discusses segmental refinement (SR), a multigrid technique for improving data locality. SR reduces communication costs by buffering cells on finer grids rather than updating them. This removes horizontal communication at some level of the memory hierarchy. The authors present results showing SR can achieve errors within 10% of a conventional multigrid solver while removing communication on the finest grids. They develop new data models to analyze the complexity of SR and show it can reduce bisection bandwidth from O(N^2) to O(N log N) in 3D. Future work includes corroborating results, extending SR to other applications, and developing new SR data models to address multiple levels of the memory hierarchy.
Loffeld_SIAMCSE15Karen PaoHigher-order finite-volume methods for solving conservation laws can achieve high arithmetic intensity (AI) and improved performance. Theoretical analysis showed that 6th and 8th order methods reach the target AI for modern machines with infinite cache. Measurements of AI using hardware counters on a IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer matched the theoretical predictions when using multi-dimensional cache blocking. However, 3D blocking requires too much cache space due to wide halos from higher-order stencils. Iterating rectangular blocks in columns reduces cache usage and allows 6th and 8th order methods to achieve high AI with realistic cache sizes.

Google Adwords IntroductionRajesh BogojuGoogle AdWords is Google's online advertising platform that generates 96% of Google's revenue. It is divided into search and display networks. The search network includes Google.com and partner sites that only support text ads, while the display network supports different ad formats on over 300 million partner websites. AdWords uses an auction system and quality score, which factors like click-through rate and landing page quality, to determine ad rank and position. Higher ad rank means higher position and more clicks and traffic for advertisers.

A discussion of the necessity to reduce abortion rates (resubmitted 03 03 2015)Turi HermannsdottirThis document discusses reducing abortion rates in Greenland through a case study. It finds that while abortion procedures are not physically risky, they can cause psychological complications. Abortion rates in Greenland far exceed birth rates, showing it plays a large role in women's lives. The paper argues pre- and post-abortion counseling from psychologists should be offered to all women to help prevent negative emotions. Public health interventions solely aiming to reduce rates are not needed; optimizing counseling is preferable. Further qualitative research on women's pre- and post-abortion feelings in Greenland is recommended.

Belair 14July2015(6)from home.pptxpeterm38Bushland condition monitoring uses a standardized method to measure the health and condition of bushland vegetation over time. It involves using 30m x 30m quadrats to assess 10 indicators of vegetation including species diversity, weeds, ground cover, and regeneration. Raw data for each indicator is converted to scores and compared to benchmarks specific to the vegetation type to assign a condition class rating. The method aims to provide representative assessments of bushland patches for purposes such as monitoring management impacts, assessing regional condition, or engaging landholders.

Executive & managerial planning for bosch kazakhstanviviennevibarBosch Group is an international technology company with over 360 subsidiaries worldwide. It is considering expanding into Kazakhstan but faces challenges due to Kazakhstan's poor education, infrastructure, and lack of skilled labor. To solve this, Bosch proposes a three-part solution: 1) Hiring employees from its Russian headquarters who can help train local hires due to shared language and culture with Kazakhstan; 2) Minimizing barriers between its German and Kazakh divisions by using Russia as a neutral intermediary; 3) Hiring locally through Kazakh universities and promoting local talent through training programs including assignments at Bosch Germany.
