Points to talk about:

• Second project: BLOCKING …
  1. Convergence point to check (see document): if ok, good.
  2. Artificial benchmarks: still not working for PB; to ask for a possibility to have a talk on the implementation (similar to the reunion between Christophe, Viviane, Sébastien and Charles on the performance of the progressive barrier for Nomad 4); the reunion with the whole team did not bring me something last time (about the PB): to avoid.
  3. Engineering benchmarks (running at this time): Data profiles or convergence plots : discussion. For all of these problems : is it normal to have high values (around 1e20 sometimes) ?
• Third project: thinking, focusing on the epsilon method.
• PHD (general)
  1. Possibility to extend the session for three months: the goal is to finish in april 2022, not december 2021; the question of funding.
  2. How to proceed for the redaction; one big block at the end, or chapter by chapter (start for the litterature review) ?
  3. Possibility to take a course for the autumn semester : parallelism or advanced optimization.
• Post doc research (the arlesienne of these meetings)
  1. Laboratoire Argonne (but can we come back into academia ?)
  2. IBM Watson center
  3. Waterloo (contact Tom Coleman)
  4. Mc Gill
  5. Lehigh University
  6. Georgia tech; take a look at the department of mathematics (we can always dream)
  7. Universty of Edimburgh
