Abstract
Metanumerical computing deals with computer programs that use abstract mathematical structure to manipulate, generate, and/or optimize compute-intensive numerical codes. This idea has gained popularity over the last decade in several areas of scientific computing, include numerical linear algebra, signal processing, and partial differential equations. The Sundance project is such an example, using high-level software-based differentiation of variational forms to automatically produce high-performance finite element implementations, all within a C++ library. In addition to automating the discretization of PDE by finite elements, recent work is demonstrating how to produce block-structured matrices and streamline the implementation of advanced numerical methods. I will conclude with some examples of this for some incompressible flow problems.
