In this "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" (HDR), we present our research in high-performance scientific computing over the recent years. Our work has been mainly related to parallel algorithms for numerical linear algebra solvers and their parallel implementation in public domain software libraries. We illustrate in this manuscript how these calculations can be accelerated using innovative algorithms and be made reliable using specific quantities in error analysis. First we explain how numerical linear algebra solvers can be designed to exploit the capabilities of current heterogeneous multicore+GPU systems. We consider dense factorization algorithms for which we describe the work splitting between the architectural components and its...
