This paper focuses on coordinate update methods, which are useful for solving problems involving large or high-dimensional datasets. They decompose a problem into simple subproblems, where each updates one, or a small block of, variables while fixing others. These methods can deal with linear and nonlinear mappings, smooth and nonsmooth functions, as well as convex and nonconvex problems. In addition, they are easy to parallelize. The great performance of coordinate update methods depends on solving simple sub-problems. To derive simple subproblems for several new classes of applications, this paper systematically studies coordinate-friendly operators that perform low-cost coordinate updates. Based on the discovered coordinate friendly operators, as well as operator splitting techniques, we obtain new coordinate update algorithms for a variety of problems in machine learning, image processing, as well as sub-areas of optimization. Several problems are treated with coordinate update for the first time in history. The obtained algorithms are scalable to large instances through parallel and even asynchronous computing. We present numerical examples to illustrate how effective these algorithms are.

In this work, we consider alternative discretizations for PDEs which use expansions involving integral operators to approximate spatial derivatives. These constructions use explicit information within the integral terms, but treat boundary data impli
citly, which contributes to the overall speed of the method. This approach is provably unconditionally stable for linear problems and stability has been demonstrated experimentally for nonlinear problems. Additionally, it is matrix-free in the sense that it is not necessary to invert linear systems and iteration is not required for nonlinear terms. Moreover, the scheme employs a fast summation algorithm that yields a method with a computational complexity of $mathcal{O}(N)$, where $N$ is the number of mesh points along a direction. While much work has been done to explore the theory behind these methods, their practicality in large scale computing environments is a largely unexplored topic. In this work, we explore the performance of these methods by developing a domain decomposition algorithm suitable for distributed memory systems along with shared memory algorithms. As a first pass, we derive an artificial CFL condition that enforces a nearest-neighbor communication pattern and briefly discuss possible generalizations. We also analyze several approaches for implementing the parallel algorithms by optimizing predominant loop structures and maximizing data reuse. Using a hybrid design that employs MPI and Kokkos for the distributed and shared memory components of the algorithms, respectively, we show that our methods are efficient and can sustain an update rate $> 1times10^8$ DOF/node/s. We provide results that demonstrate the scalability and versatility of our algorithms using several different PDE test problems, including a nonlinear example, which employs an adaptive time-stepping rule.
The first part of this work established the foundations of a radial duality between nonnegative optimization problems, inspired by the work of (Renegar, 2016). Here we utilize our radial duality theory to design and analyze projection-free optimizati
on algorithms that operate by solving a radially dual problem. In particular, we consider radial subgradient, smoothing, and accelerated methods that are capable of solving a range of constrained convex and nonconvex optimization problems and that can scale-up more efficiently than their classic counterparts. These algorithms enjoy the same benefits as their predecessors, avoiding Lipschitz continuity assumptions and costly orthogonal projections, in our newfound, broader context. Our radial duality further allows us to understand the effects and benefits of smoothness and growth conditions on the radial dual and consequently on our radial algorithms.
Block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) provides the basis for the temporal and spatial discretization strategy for a number of ECP applications in the areas of accelerator design, additive manufacturing, astrophysics, combustion, cosmology,
multiphase flow, and wind plant modelling. AMReX is a software framework that provides a unified infrastructure with the functionality needed for these and other AMR applications to be able to effectively and efficiently utilize machines from laptops to exascale architectures. AMR reduces the computational cost and memory footprint compared to a uniform mesh while preserving accurate descriptions of different physical processes in complex multi-physics algorithms. AMReX supports algorithms that solve systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) in simple or complex geometries, and those that use particles and/or particle-mesh operations to represent component physical processes. In this paper, we will discuss the core elements of the AMReX framework such as data containers and iterators as well as several specialized operations to meet the needs of the application projects. In addition we will highlight the strategy that the AMReX team is pursuing to achieve highly performant code across a range of accelerator-based architectures for a variety of different applications.
Computing plays an essential role in all aspects of high energy physics. As computational technology evolves rapidly in new directions, and data throughput and volume continue to follow a steep trend-line, it is important for the HEP community to dev
elop an effective response to a series of expected challenges. In order to help shape the desired response, the HEP Forum for Computational Excellence (HEP-FCE) initiated a roadmap planning activity with two key overlapping drivers -- 1) software effectiveness, and 2) infrastructure and expertise advancement. The HEP-FCE formed three working groups, 1) Applications Software, 2) Software Libraries and Tools, and 3) Systems (including systems software), to provide an overview of the current status of HEP computing and to present findings and opportunities for the desired HEP computational roadmap.

Min-max problems have broad applications in machine learning, including learning with non-decomposable loss and learning with robustness to data distribution. Convex-concave min-max problem is an active topic of research with efficient algorithms and
sound theoretical foundations developed. However, it remains a challenge to design provably efficient algorithms for non-convex min-max problems with or without smoothness. In this paper, we study a family of non-convex min-max problems, whose objective function is weakly convex in the variables of minimization and is concave in the variables of maximization. We propose a proximally guided stochastic subgradient method and a proximally guided stochastic variance-reduced method for the non-smooth and smooth instances, respectively, in this family of problems. We analyze the time complexities of the proposed methods for finding a nearly stationary point of the outer minimization problem corresponding to the min-max problem.
