Subject: Stopping Criterion for Conjugate Gradients
My first idea was to try the following:
When using conjugates gradient to solve S x = b (S is symmetric
positive definite), since the norm of the residual in exact arythmetic
is monotonically non-increasing, one can assume that roundoff is being
felt when the residual increases.
But this doesn't work. For one reason, the residual whose norm decreases
is not the readily computed one.
The problem is that if the system is nice enough, this actually will
happen only when one reaches exponent overflow since everything will
scale nicely.
Nonetheless, has someone used this criterion as an ADDITIONAL stopping
criterion? Warnings? Caveats?
This brings me to my main questions, which I was hoping and failed to
bypass with the above idea.
VERSION 1:
Suppose that you are solving Ax = b with a preconditioner M, so that
it is required to solve systems of the form Mx = b. You have decided
that the most practical way to solve the latter system is with an
iterative solver; consequently, you have nested iterative solves.
Does anyone know of a good way of choosing a stopping criterion for
the inner iterative solve so that the outer iterative method is not
too contaminated (which may cause breakdown) by the inner? Methods
which are satisfied with very rough matrix norm estimates preferred.
VERSION 2:
The second version is essentially identical to the first save that it
relates to contamination from an iterative solve used to effect a
matrix multiply by a FACTOR of the overall coefficient matrix.
Rather than present it in general fashion, I will do it in the context
in which I am working.
Suppose that you are solving the following with conjugate gradients
delta^T star^{-1} delta u + D u = f
where delta is a simple difference operator, star is local and
symmetric positive definite (in 1D, banded), and D is diagonal. The
overall system is symmetric positive definite.
First of all, a local approximation is used as an overall
preconditioner by using a local approximation to star^{-1}, this local
system being solved with conjugate gradients so that the issue raised
in VERSION 1 applies.
Moreover, in order to effect multiplication by
delta^T star^{-1} delta, conjugate gradients is used to solve systems
of the form star v = w. How should one set the stopping criterion on
this latter solve so that the outer iterative processes produce good
answers?
In situations where star is not exactly symmetric, I intend to use a
splitting method or a "generalized" conjugate gradients method in
which the preconditioner is the symmetric part, but the same issues
persist.

The Oxford BSP Toolset and Profiling system -- version 1.1
We are pleased to announce the first official release of the Oxford
BSP Toolset which conforms to the BSPlib programming library
definition. BSPlib is an SPMD communications library, and is based on
the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model of parallel computation. The
main feature of BSPlib is two modes of communication, one capturing a
BSP oriented message passing approach, and the other reflecting a
(one-sided) direct remote memory access paradigm. The core BSP library
consists of just 20 primitives. Sources are freely available by
anonymous FTP. For more information on the toolset distribution see:

Subject: Computational Aerosciences Workshop
ICASE/LaRC WORKSHOP ON
COMPUTATIONAL AEROSCIENCES IN THE 21st CENTURY*
January 21-23, 1998
H.J.E. Reid Conference Center, NASA Langley Research Center
Hampton, Virginia
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Over the last decade, the role of computational simulations in all
aspects of design has steadily increased. Today, large scale
computations are prevalent in all areas of aeronautical, atmospheric,
and space research. However, despite the many advances in computational
modelling over the last decade, the time required for computations
necessary to significantly advance the state-of-the art is far too long.
The impact is that significant improvements in designs, proof of concept
for revolutionary designs, and a basic understanding of important
physics is severely deterred. In fact, it could be argued that
effective/efficient progress in most areas of aeronautic, atmospheric
and much of space access research is currently paced by, and indeed
hostage to, the cost and speed of carrying out parametric computations.
In many cases, further progress is severely impeded or nearly impossible
without a dramatic change in the status quo. The purpose of this
workshop is to share new and emerging ideas that enable complex,
multidisciplinary, numerical simulations in the aerospace sciences in
time periods of minutes to hours instead of weeks or months. Time to set
up the simulations, including surface definition or alteration and
gridding (if required) are included in simulation time as is any
necessary post-processing. It should be emphasized that the workshop is
aimed at examining new ideas and methodologies that may not be fruitful
or possible at the current time, but may be so in the next twenty years.

Subject: Conference on Real Numbers and Computers
CALL FOR PAPERS
3nd CONFERENCE
REAL NUMBERS AND COMPUTERS
Pierre et Marie Curie University
Paris, FRANCE
April 27-28-29 1998
The conference continues the series of RNC-symposia which have been held
in St-Etienne (France, 1994) and Marseille (France, 1995). These conferences
traditionally cover all the aspects in relationship with an efficient
handling of real numbers on computers : program portability problems, "exact
arithmetics", numerical reliability, number systems, architectures etc.
Many members of the scientific community are concerned by these problems,
they could share their knowledge and come up with solutions. But they do not
have the opportunity to meet, they do not belong to the same scientific fields
(computer science, number theory, numerical analysis, computer algebra) and
they have a different vocabulary. One of the aims is to put them together
during this meeting.
The topics covered by the conference are
- Algorithms and architectures for "serial" and "on line" arithmetic.
- Relations between number theory, automata theory and computer arithmetic.
- Number systems
- Floating point arithmetic
- Calculability
- Symbolic manipulation of numbers
- Algorithms for "exact" computing
- Multi-precision, interval arithmetic, stochastic arithmetic ...
- Accuracy problems in various fields (geometry, physics,...), and
proposed solutions.

Subject: NAG Fastflo Courses
NAG Fastflo Courses
To introduce its new Fastflo finite element package NAG (in
collaboration with the developers CSIRO) will be holding two
free one-day courses:
July 8th at the NAG Ltd offices in Oxford, England.
July 17th at Stanford University (immediately after the
SIAM conference, where Fastflo will be exhibited).
The courses will be largely an extended introduction, but will
also give a flavour of some of the more complex problems that
can be tackled using Fastflo.
Fastflo is a flexible 3D finite element software package designed
for simulation and rapid prototyping applications in engineering,
manufacturing, research and teaching, with a particular emphasis
on CFD. It can be used to solve problems ranging from the simple
classical PDEs (Poisson, Helmholtz, Heat equation, etc) to three-
dimensional turbulent flow simulations in complex geometries.
Fastflo is currently available for PCs under Windows 95 and
Windows NT, with UNIX implementations to be announced shortly.
For further information about Fastflo see:
