Subject: Stanford's SCCM Celebrates Decade
The Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics (SCCM) program
at Stanford celebrated its tenth (+1) anniversary on Feb. 6, 1999 with
a one-day meeting on scientific computing. A series of talks was
organized by current SCCM director Andrew Stuart and presided over by
founding director Gene Golub (and his new laser pointer).
General talks covering various aspects of scientific computing were given by
Parvis Moin of Stanford on turbulence research,
Stan Osher of UCLA on PDE based image processing,
John Hennessy of Stanford on high performance computing and
Jim Demmel of UC Berkeley on linear algebra.
SCCM also welcomed back program graduates Liliana Borcea
(Computational Science at Rice) and Hongyuan Zha (Computer Science at
Penn State), who gave talks on their current research activities.
More than forty-five faculty, students and other researchers attended
the talks, and the day was rounded out by a dinner at the faculty club
that evening.

Subject: Jampack, A Package for Manipulating Matrices in Java
I am pleased to announce the initial release of Jampack, a package for
manipulating matrices in Java. The package was developed at
NIST and the University of Maryland. It has the following features.
1. Classes for general, diagonal, and triangular complex matrices.
(In the future real matrices and a band matrix class will be
added.)
2. Suites of methods to implement the common matrix operations and
functions, including the solution of linear systems.
3. Classes implementing the common matrix decompositions.
4. Classes to generate and apply plane rotations and Householder
transformations.
5. A feature for keeping track of matrix decompositions so they
do not need to be recomputed when they are used later.
Jampack is not a finished package. The purpose of this preliminary
release is to find out if there is enough interest in the package
to justify its further development. Jampack and its documentation
can be obtained from the University of Maryland at
ftp://thales.cs.umd.edu/pub/Jampack/Jampack/AboutJampack.html
or from NIST at

Subject: ATLAS Version 2.0 is Now Available
ATLAS version 2.0 is now available.
To obtain a copy of the ATLAS 2.0 see: http://www.netlib.org/atlas/
The existing BLAS have proven to be very effective in facilitating the
production of portable, efficient software for sequential, vector and
shared memory high-performance computers. However, hand-optimized BLAS
are expensive and tedious to produce for any particular architecture,
and in general will only be created when there is a large enough market,
which is not the true for all platforms. The process of generating an
optimized set of BLAS for a new architecture or a slightly different
machine version can be a time consuming process. The programmer must
understand the architecture, how the memory hierarchy can be used to
provide data in an optimal fashion, how the functional units and
registers can be manipulated to generate the correct operands at the
correct time, and how best to use the compiler optimization.
ATLAS is an approach for the automatic generation and optimization of
numerical software for processors with deep memory hierarchies and
pipelined functional units. ATLAS has been designed to automate much of
this process. This version of ATLAS focuses on the Level 3 BLAS. ATLAS
optimizes the operations to account for many parameters such as blocking
factors, loop unrolling depths, software pipelining strategies, loop
ordering, register allocations, and instruction scheduling. ATLAS does
this by carrying out a parameter study on the target architecture and
generating the "optimal" code. ATLAS' performance wins are evident in a
number of cases. On a system where there is presently no vendor supplied
BLAS (viz. DEC ALPHA 21164 running Linux), the portable Fortran
reference implementation gets less than 8% of the performance that ATLAS
achieves. On platforms where vendors have hand-tuned this kernel
library, ATLAS produces software that runs at roughly the same rate.
ATLAS generally requires only 1-2 hours on new hardware in order to tune
itself to the same level of efficiency.
While the present release is for the Level 3 BLAS, much of the
technology and approach developed here can be generalized relatively
easily. We therefore plan to support the level 1 and 2 BLAS in the near
future. Indeed, we plan to extend the ATLAS concept to cover other
operations as well. In particular, we would like to provide sparse
linear algebra and Java language support. The release of ATLAS as well
as documentation can be found at http://www.netlib.org/atlas/.

Subject: Summer School on Numerical Simulation of Flows
EMS - WiR Summer School on
Numerical Simulation of Flows
Heidelberg, September 6-21, 1999
The numerical simulation of flows is one of the central problems in
Scientific Computing. Complexity of flow simulations is so high that
a realistic description requires sophisticated mathematical methods
and models. In particular modeling and simulation of turbulent flows,
nearly incompressible flows, and multi-phase flows are challenging
problems for mathematical models and numerical methods.
There is a strong interest in this topic by numerous groups from
mathematical modelling and numerical simulation. Recently a number
of new mathematical models and methods have been introduced which
are highly relevant for flow simulations. Amongst others these are
multiscale modelling and numerics, homogenization, finite-element
and finite volume methods, spectral and h-p discretizations, grid
adaptivity and error estimators, multigrid and conjugate-gradient type
methods and wavelets. Another field of increasing importance is the
development of methods for the visualization of flows. The numerical
simulation of flows requires cooperation of several mathematical
disciplines as Analysis, Numerics, Mathematical Physics and
Computational Science.
The European Mathematical Society (EMS) together with the research
network WiR will organize a summer school on Numerical Simulation
of Flows from Sept. 6 - 21, 1999 in Heidelberg.
The Summer school will consist from a theoretical and a practical part,
each one lasting a week. The first week (Sept. 6-10) is devoted to basic
instruction. There mathematical models and methods are presented in
lectures given by specialists. In the second week (Sept. 13-17) the
participants will work on problems posed by the lecturers in several
places. Finally the results of this work will be presented in a plenary
meeting (Sept. 20-21).

The KeLP Project in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at
UC San Diego (http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/groups/hpcl/scg/kelp) is looking for
a staff member to play a lead role in developing and evaluating run time
software techniques for compute- and data- intensive scientific
applications on high performance parallel computers. The position is
funded by the NPACI.
The duties for this position include: point-of-contact for KeLP users for
supported applications; evaluating and implementing performance
enhancements and extensions; retargeting KeLP to emerging computer
architectures such as the NPACI IBM SP Tflops machine due to arrive later
this year. Prior parallel computing experience is required.
For a full description of the requirements see the URL
http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/~eob/prog1.html and look for position C3504-S
This position is part of the SOURCE...UCSD Hiring System Pilot and requires
a resume and resume supplement. Please do not fax resumes for this
position. If you have previously applied to become part of the SOURCE
pilot, you will automatically be considered for this position and do not
need to reapply. See http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/~staffing for more
information. UCSD is an equal opportunity employer.
