Why Thinking is important

This week I went to the dentist for a routine check-up. By inspecting his waiting room I should have guessed that my dentist was a Jeovah witness. The book questioning the existence of pardise should have warned me.

After a while the dentist came in and I sat in the scary chair with pipes and syringes all over. I looked at my wisdom teeth that I should remove because there is no place left for them in my mouth. I mean really no place, one is pushing against my jaw and it make a terrible infection. The dentist began to explain me that I should open my mind, that I should make some work upon myself and give a place to those teeth, that they were here for a REASON. It was not a matter of surgery, just a matter of faith and self opening to the world. Seeing that I was more and more sceptical, he mistakingly took the example of homepathy to explain me that OTHER WAYS exist. "Yeah, I replied, I know that. It's the placebo effect. But it work only if you believe it". At that point he finally understsood that I would not be convinced by his weak arguments, and he said that I should pay him. Which I did.

Wow, I am happy that dentist is not a oncologist !

I am not against faith for itself, eventhough I'm not a believer. At all. But at some point, believing should not prevent people to think!

Shear waves, medecine and brain

Yesterday evening, too bored by what TV was proposing to me, I decided to watch a conference of Mathias Fink , a french researcher working on multidisciplinary application of waves. Specially shear waves. Here is a brief summary of his talk. In solids, waves have two principal components: compression waves (P-waves for primary) moving in the direction of propagation, and shear waves (S-waves, for secondary) that make ripples in the plane orthogonal to that direction. Since compression waves propagate in the direction of propagation, they move faster than shear waves. Usually ultrasound equipment in medicine only use compressional waves. But since human tissues have a high bulk modulus, the P-wave speed is relatively constant (around 1580 m/s). Human tissues are very stiff if you apply isotropic constraints on them (like pressure of water). However M. Fink and his colleagues proposed a new way to investigate human tissues by first sending a strong compressional wave in ...

MultiThreading and Direct Solvers

The next step towards an efficient Hybrid Solver is to optimize the computation of the Schur complement on each subdomain. Actually this part of the algorithm is the slowest, and it can be very slow. First of all the reordering is special, since the degrees of freedom on the interior must be numbered first. I use the CAMD ordering by Tim Davis and al., that provide satisfaying enough orderings. After that, I am concentrating on the code that computes the Schur complement. There is much work to do here. At the begining I was thinking about using MUMPS for this, since it has a subroutine for Schur complement computation and it is multithreaded. By googling around I found there is may be a (slightly) better solution, that would be to implement a sparse Cholesky solver based on the Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG) of the tasks. The computational tasks and their dependencies are expressed as an acyclic graph which is used to organize the thread hierachy to compute the Cholesky decompositio...
