Subject: Over 1 Million Served


We just had our 1 millionth request come into the Tennessee netlib
server. Scott Morton was the requester,


1993 6 25 1557 [morton@shell.com] 6847 linpack / dgbsl


We currently receive about 1200 requests a day through netlib in
Tennessee. Netlib has changed in a number of ways over the past year.
We have added an X window interface called Xnetlib. If you haven't
tried xnetlib you can receive the source or executable for a number
of workstations by anonymous ftp'ing to cs.utk.edu and cd'ing to pub/xnetlib
then getting one of the following,
xnetlib.shar.Z
xnetlib.ds5000.Z
xnetlib.hp9000.Z
xnetlib.sun4.Z
xnetlib.rs6000.Z.


In addition, we have opened up the netlib machine in Tennessee
to anonymous ftp (netlib2.cs.utk.edu) and have modified the rcp
command on the netlib2.cs.utk.edu, so you can rcp from our machine
to any machine on the Internet provided you know the name of the file
you want, i.e.,
rcp anon@netlib2.cs.utk.edu:benchmark/performance performance
will get you a postscript copy of the Linpack benchmark report.


We are about to release a new version of Xnetlib which will include
a conference database server and a performance server.
We would like to get your feedback on what we have and your comments
on what you would like to see in the future.


Best wishes,
Jack

Subject: New Graduate Numerical Analysis Text


I wish to announce the publication of my text, "Numerical Methods Based on
Sinc and Analytic Functions", by Springer-Verlag (ISBN 0-387-94008-1).
This text uses analytic function methods to derive the symbolic formulae
based on sinc functions, their approximation properties and error, and the
derivation of numerical algorithms based on these symbolic formulae for
solving a large class of problems stemming from applications. For example,
the DFT formula, which yields the well-known FFT procedure is one of the
formulas of the class, but there are many others, such as new methods of
interpolation, quadrature, the approximation of derivatives, the
approximation of one and multidimensional indefinite or definite convolution
integrals, the approximate solution of ordinary differential equations, and
the approximation of Hilbert transforms, over arbitrary intervals or contours.
Included also are new methods of solving elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic
partial differential equations, new methods of solving linear and nonlinear
Volterra, Fredholm, multidimensional, and Cauchy singular integral equations,
and new methods of evaluating and inverting Laplace and Fourier transforms.
For example, the complexity, i.e., the amount of work required to obtain an
approximate solution of a partial differential equation in d dimensions to
within a tolerance of E is usually of the order of {log(E)}**(2d+2).
The methods excel for problems with end-point singularities, for problems
over semi-infinite or infinite regions, or for boundary layer problems.

Subject: Multigrid Documents on the World Wide Web


Multigrid Algorithms on the World Wide Web


FYI, there is some information on Multigrid Algorithms, their
application to lattice physics, and numerical analysis
available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a distributed HyperText
system (a network of documents connected by links which can be
activated electronically). Multilevel algorithms are fast solvers
used e.g. in numerical mathematics and lattice field theory simulations.


If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to


http://info.desy.de:80/pub/www/projects/MG.html


If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with


telnet info.cern.ch


which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number
given after an item. To go to the MultiGrid documents, enter


go http://info.desy.de:80/pub/www/projects/MG.html


If you don't have Telnet, send the message HELP to
listserv@info.cern.ch for instructions how to retrieve documents.


The complete announcement for the MultiGrid and other informational
pages on WWW is available at ftp.desy.de [131.169.30.33] in files

Subject: A Boundary Element Package for Integral Equations


A Boundary Element Package
for Solving Integral Equations
on Surfaces in Space


This is to announce the availability of a package of programs for
solving boundary integral equations for Laplace's equation in three
dimensions. The programs in the package can be categorized as doing one
of the following tasks.


(1) Create and refine triangulations of smooth and piecewise smooth
surfaces in 3-space.
(2) Perform interpolations and integrations over these triangulations,
including approximating the surface itself by piecewise quadratic
interpolation in the parametrization variables.
(3) Numerical integration of surface integrals.
(4) Solution of integral equations with smooth kernel functions, with
the discretized linear systems solved by either Gaussian elimination
or two-grid iteration.
(4) Solution of boundary integral equations of the second kind for both
the interior Dirichlet problem and the exterior Neumann problem. The
discretized linear system is solved by either Gaussian elimination or
two-grid iteration.
(5) Solution of a nonlinear boundary integral equation which arises from
solving Laplace's equation with nonlinear boundary conditions.


The package is restricted to triangulations which are "quasi-uniform"; but
a future release (under development) will allow for graded meshes when
solving problems in which the solution is badly behaved at some points on
the boundary. The package is written in Fortran 77.


One of the main purposes of the package is to make it easier to carry out
experimentation with numerical methods for solving boundary integral
equations on smooth and piecewise smooth surfaces in 3-space. For
example, our integral equation codes are all for integral equations of
the second kind; but the package can easily be used to study integral
equations of the first kind. We welcome suggestions on additions to the
package or on any other aspect of the package.


To obtain the package, use anonymous ftp to our departmental network.


ftp math.uiowa.edu
login: anonymous
(follow directions)
cd pub/atkinson/bie.package


Under the further subdirectory "users-guide", a User's Guide is stored
in three formats: dvi, postscript, and latex.

Subject: Finalists for 1993 Gordon Bell Prizes


Finalists for 1993 Gordon Bell Prize Selected


The finalists for the 1993 Gordon Bell Prize for significant
achievement in parallel processing are:


P. S. Lomdahl, P. Tamayo, N. Gronbech-Jensen, and D. M. Beazley of
Los Alamos National Laboratory for "45 Gflops Molecular Dynamics on
the Connection Machine 5".


L. Long and M. Kamon of The Pennsylvania State University and D.
Dahl, M. Bromley, R. Lordi, J. Myczkowski, and R. Shapiro of
Thinking Machines Corporation for "A Deterministic Parallel
Algorithm to Solve a Model Boltzmann Equation (BGK)".


Robert Means, Bret Wallach, and David Busby of HNC, Inc. and Robert
Lengel Jr. of Tracor Applied Sciences, Inc. for "Bispectrum Signal
Processing on HNC's SIMD Numerical Array Processor (SNAP)."


Gary Sabot, Skef Wholey, Jonas Berlin, and Paul Oppenheimer of
Thinking Machines Corporation for "Parallel Execution of a Fortran
77 Weather Prediction Model".


A large number of entries reported very high performance on Cray
Research, Inc. C-90 processors. These entries were too close in
overall quality for the judges to pick one so the fifth finalist
chosen is Cray Research, Inc., the first time the a company has been
so honored. Sara Graffunder, who coordinated many of the submissions,
will represent Cray.


Records were shattered in several areas. The 23 entries received for
this year's competition nearly doubled the previous high. The
performance reported was over 8 times the previous best, 2 entries
exceeding 60 billion floating point operations per second (Gf/s).
Even more impressive is the fact that 12 entries achieved sustained
rates over 25% of the theoretical peak performance of the machines
they ran on. Price/performance improved by almost 600% to 7.5
Gf/s/million dollars.


The finalists have been invited to present their work at a special
session to be held at Supercomputing '93 in November.

Graduate Module
Shape Optimization and Mutational Equations
J.-P. Aubin, M. Delfour, L. Doyen & J.-P. Zolesio


September 27 - October 1, 1993
INRIA-Sophia-Antipolis
F-06565 VALBONNE CX




This Graduate Module is devoted to Shape Optimization and Design
one one hand, to Visual servoing and Mutational Equations on the other
hand. Both topics involve concepts of derivatives of shape maps
(associating vectors with subsets) and of set-valued maps (associating
subsets with vectors). This allows us to optimize shapes and to design
kinds of differential equations (called sf mutational equations) governing
the evolution of shapes and their control (visual servoing).






Graduate Module
Differential Games


J.-P. Aubin, P. Bernhard, H.~Frankowska & M. Quincampoix


September 27 - October 1, 1993
INRIA-Sophia-Antipolis
F-06565 VALBONNE CX




This Graduate Module is devoted to Differential Games, in the
framework of evolution problems controlled by several players. The choices
of strategies would be made either by mini-maximising intertemporal
criteria and/or by imposing power constraints on the states of the players.
Both points of view allow to takcle the em target problems.

Subject: Call for Journal Papers, "Supercomputer"


Call for papers


In the area of high-performance computing, "Supercomputer" is the
longest established journal. Started in 1984, the title immediately
gained an international readership offering news, original articles,
benchmarks and technical evaluations. The content focuses, not only
on the largest machines, but also on other high-performance systems
and concepts, such as massively parallel processing and distributed
computing.


Articles are short, refereed, and edited to ensure top scientific
quality and readability. In order to serve both authors and readers
the publication time is kept to a minimum and the journal is covered
by a number of abstracting services so ensuring a wide audience.


The current short life-cycle time of computer products and the short
time-to-publication of "Supercomputer" match very well. The journal
is therefore a very viable vehicle for the latest benchmark results,
early experiences with new systems, etc. In general the contents
covers:


News Topics
- Architectures
- Hardware and software developments;
- (Government) policies;
- Market developments;
- Supercomputer center presentations.


Contribution Topics
- Benchmarks;
- Applications of all kinds;
- Languages;
- Vector and parallel algorithms;
- Adaptation of software packages.


If you feel that you(r team) can contribute to one of those topics,
please contact us at
