Ahmed Hamdy Mohamed Sameh is an Egyptian-American computer scientist, and the Samuel D. Conte Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University.Ahmed Sameh's homepage He is known for his contributions to parallel algorithms in numerical linear algebra.
Biography Sameh received his BSc in civil engineering from the University of Alexandria, Egypt in 1961, MS in civil engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1964 and PhD in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1968 under the supervision of Alfredo Hua-Sing Ang.
A conference on "High Performance Scientific Computing: Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications" was organized on October 11–12, 2010 at the Purdue University in honor of Sameh on the occasion of his 70th birthday.Conference on High Performance Scientific Computing: Architectures, Algorithms, and Applications
Research Sameh and Eric Polizzi developed the SPIKE algorithm, a hybrid parallel solver for banded linear systems.
