Subject: Discontinuous Coefficients and Convergence Rates

Suppose L_h is a second-order finite-differrence or finite-element
approximation of

Lf = div A grad f

on a regular grid in n dimensions and where A is a smooth symmetric
positive-definate matrix. Now consider the case when A is not necessairly
continuous. I believe the correct assumption is that A is of bounded
variation. Numerical results indicate that L_h is now a ***first***-order
approximation of L. Some results of Babuska in one-dimension show that
certain finite element approximations of L are first-order (with no
restriction on the grid). The QUESTION is: Are there any results
for finite-difference methods that show first-order approximation.

More precisely if L_h f_h = g_h is a second-order approximation of
L f = g on a regular grid, then our numerical results show that the
sup norm error of (f_h-f) and (A grad(f_h-f)) are dominated by a C*h where
C is a constant.

Subject: Incomplete Beta Function Derivatives

I would be grateful for any information on software or algorithms for
calculating 1st and 2nd order partial derivatives of the incomplete beta
function with respect to the two parameters (a and b) occurring in the
integrand of the standard integral form.

This would be helpful in maximum-likelihood fitting of censored or truncated
data in the cases of several parametric probability distributions.

Thanks in advance for any help,

David Wright

Subject: Examples for Overdetermined Systems

Hello,
In connection with my thesis I'm working on solving systems of multi-
variate polynomial equations, especially overdetermined ones. Now I'm
looking for concrete examples of such systems arising in practice,
esp. problems in chemistry. Can anybody help me or give any hints where
I could look somewhere else? Thanks a lot, and have a nice time|

Subject: Gordon Bell Prize for 1993

The 1993 Gordon Bell Prizes

The Gordon Bell Prizes recognize achievements in large-scale
scientific computing. Entries for the next Prize are due on 1 May
1993, and finalists will be announced by 30 June 1993. Pending
approval by the Supercomputing '93 program committee, finalists will
be invited to present their work at a special session of that meeting
in November 1993. Winners and honorable mentions will be announced
following the presentations.

The 1993 prizes will be given in two of three categories:

1. Performance: The entrant will be expected to convince the judges
that the submitted program is running faster than any other
comparable engineering or scientific application. Suitable evidence
will be the megaflop rate based on actual operation counts or the
solution of the same problem with a properly tuned code on a machine
of known performance, such as a Cray Y-MP. If neither of these
measurements can be made, the submitter should document the
performance claims as well as possible.

2. Price/performance: The entrant must show that the performance of
the application divided by the list price of the smallest system
needed to achieve the reported performance is better than that of
any other entry. Performance measurements will be evaluated as for
the performance prize. Only the cost of the CPUs, memory, and any
peripherals critical to the application need be included in the
price. For example, if the job can be run on diskless compute
servers, the cost of disks, keyboards, and displays need not be
included.

3. Compiler parallelization: The combination of compiler and
application that generates the most speed-up will be the winner.
Speed-up will be measured by dividing the wall clock time of the
parallel run by that of a good serial implementation of the same
job. These may be the same program if the entrant can convince the
judges that the serial code is a good choice for a uniprocessor.
Compiler directives and new languages are permitted. However, anyone
submitting an entry in other than a standard, sequential language
will have to convince the judges that the parallelism was detected
by the compiler, not by the programmer.

There are some general conditions:

1. The submitted program must have utility; it must solve a problem
that is considered a routine production run, such as making daily
weather predictions or solving an important engineering or
scientific problem. It should not be a contrived or experimental
problem that is intended just to show high speed-up.

2. Entrants in the price/performance category must demonstrate that
the machine they used has real utility. (No fair picking up a few
used Z-80s for $1 each.) Only list prices of components should be
used. If the machine is not on the market, the entry is probably not
eligible although the judges will consider any reasonable estimate
of the price.

3. One criterion the judges will use for all categories is how much
the entry advances the state of the art of some field. For example,
an entry that runs at 15 Gflops but solves a problem in a day that
previously took a year might win over an entry that runs at 20
Gflops solving a more mundane problem. Entrants who believe their
submission meets this criterion are advised to document their claims
carefully.

4. In all cases the burden of proof is on the contestants. The
judges will make an honest effort to compare the results of
different programs solving different problems running on different
machines, but they will depend primarily on the submitted material.

Contestants should send a three or four page executive summary to
Marilyn Potes, IEEE Computer Society, 10662 Los Vaqueros Circle, Los
Alamitos, CA 90720-2578 before 1 May 1993.

Subject: NSF High Performance Computing

Dear Colleague,

Below is an extract of an announcement that will appear in the Federal Register
regarding the second meeting of the Blue Ribbon Panel on High Performance
Computing. This Panel was established at the direction of the National
Science Foundation's National Science Board.

Let me draw your attention to the set of four questions {Section 1) a)-d)}
contained in the Announcement. This set was extracted from questions and
issues discussed at the first meeting of the HPC Blue Ribbon Panel with the
intent of asking the scientific and engineering community to provide
comments to the panel.

Please feel free to share these questions with your colleagues or other
interested parties. Your comments are solicited; please do so in
accordance with instructions below.

Sincerely;

Melvyn Ciment


NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION BLUE RIBBON PANEL ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

DATE AND TIME: March 11, 1993: 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
March 12, 1993: 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

PLACE: Hotel Washington, 15th & Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20004

PURPOSE OF MEETING:
To assess current knowledge on the state of supercomputing and the
contributions of high performance computing to scientific research and
education; to help project changes required by developments in this rapidly
evolving field; and to provide recommendations to the National Science
Board on NSF's possible future role in supercomputing.

AGENDA: 1) Invited panelists of computer designers and industry vendors,
NSF supercomputer center directors, and other experts will focus on the
following questions:

a) How would you project the emerging high performance computing
environment and market forces over the next five years and the implications
for change in the way scientists and engineers will conduct R&D, design and
productions modelling?

b) What do you see as the largest barriers to the effective use of these
emergent technologies by scientists and engineers and what efforts will be
needed to remove these barriers? What is the proper role of government, and,
in particular, the NSF to foster progress?

c) To what extent do you believe there is a future role for government-
supported supercomputer centers? What role should NSF play in this spectrum
of capabilities?

d) To what extent should NSF use its resources to encourage use of high
performance computing in commercial industrial applications through
collaboration between high performance computing centers, academic users and
industrial groups?

The panel welcomes comments from all interested parties. Persons wishing to
file written comments should mail (hard copy or electronic) or fax the

Subject: Designing a Course in Industrial Mathematics

INSTITUTE FOR MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

DESIGNING A COURSE IN
INDUSTRIAL MATHEMATICS
FOR UNDERGRADUATES

May 15 - 16, 1993

Supported by a grant from Division of Undergraduate Science,
Engineering and Mathematics Education, National Science Foundation.

With NSF support the IMA and the School of Mathematics at the
University of Minnesota are developing a one year course on
industrial mathematics targeted to juniors and seniors who have
completed vector calculus and are interested in the use of
sophisticated mathematics to solve real-life problems. Initially,
the course is using TeXed lecture notes prepared by Avner Friedman
and Walter Littman which draw on actual industrial problems
presented during the first 5 years of the IMA Seminar on Industrial
Problems and documented in Friedman's books ``Mathematics in
Industrial Problems'' Volumes I-V. (This material will be published
as textbook.) The mathematics foundation is the theory of
ordinary and partial differential equations and this theory is
developed in tandem with the presentation of appropriate industrial
problems which can be modeled via differential equations. Bernardo
Cockburn is writing supplementary notes on the computational aspects
of the industrial problems. The fully developed course can be taught
by a single instructor with a PDE background. (Students would still
need access to a computational laboratory staffed by, say, a TA.)

This meeting is intended for faculty from other colleges and
universities with an interest in offering this or a similar course
in industrial mathematics for undergraduates. It will be devoted
partly to an explanation of the Minnesota experience, partly to
training of potential instructors, and partly to intensive
interaction among the participants to get ideas for improving the
course and developing similar courses.

The registration cost is $16 for the dinner and $10 for the
manuscript. The manuscript for the first 6 chapters of the 7
chapter book will be sent to those who register in advance.
Details about the schedule and a registration form are available
via anonymous ftp at ima.umn.edu
The registration form should be returned by April 30, 1993.
