Subject: Complement to the LAWRA Workshop announcement
I said in the last NA Digest Saturday, November 13, 1999 Volume 99 :
Issue 45: "The recursive factorization and solution algorithms of
symmetric matrices stored in packed data format perform from 5 to 7 times
better than the traditional packed data format algorithms". I was not very
precise in my formulation.
I would like to complement my above expression: The recursive
factorization and solution algorithms of symmetric matrices stored in
packed data format perform from 5 to 7 times better than the traditional
packed data format algorithms. We obtain the performance comparison result
numbers on several computers, IBM, Compaq-Digital, SGI and modern PC with
Linux. The times of the recursive subroutine were compared with the LAPACK
and manufacture packed version subroutines. We have not compared yet with
other libraries and packages. We are being started with the Harwell
Library using the MA47 subroutine.

Subject: A MATLAB Library for Interval Arithmetic
This is to announce version 3 of
INTLAB - A Matlab library for interval arithmetic routines.
Version 3 covers
- interval arithmetic for real and complex data including vectors
and matrices (very fast),
- interval arithmetic for real and complex sparse matrices (very fast),
- automatic differentiation (forward mode, vectorized computations, fast),
- automatic slopes (sequential approach, slow for many variables),
- rigorous real interval standard functions (fast, very accurate, 3 ulps),
- rigorous complex interval standard functions (fast, rigorous, but not
necessarily sharp inclusions),
- rigorous input/output,
- multiple precision interval arithmetic with error bounds (does the job, slow)
and more. Prerequisite is Matlab 5+. All INTLAB code is written in Matlab
except one routine for switching the rounding mode (the latter even being
superflous for Matlab 6 under Windows).
An example is (timing on a 120 MHz Laptop)
>> format long; rand('state',0)
>> n=200; A=2*rand(n)-1; b=A*ones(n,1);
>> tic, x=A\b; toc, x(1:5),
>> tic, X=intval(A)\b; toc, X(1:5)
elapsed_time =
0.59999999999999
ans =
1.00000000000000
1.00000000000004
1.00000000000003

Major objective is speed and ease of use. Algorithms are fast if high-order
operations can be used; nonlinear function evaluation slows down significantly
due to interpretation overhead and extensive use of operator concept.

Subject: Research Positions at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Dear Colleagues,
The Data Assimilation Office at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland, just outside Washington D.C., has several immediate
openings in the realm of scientific computing. I encourage you to
take a look at the postings on our web site:
http://dao.gsfc.nasa.gov/dao-openings.html
In particular there are two openings which may be of particular interest
to the NA Digest community:
#521 SENIOR SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMER/ANALYST --- supporting the Data
Assimilation Office (DAO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Successful
candidate will work with leading NASA scientists in developing data
assimilation algorithms for the next generation
Physical-space/Finite-volume Data Assimilation System. Initial work will
involve system integration, configuration management, and development of
I/O subsytsem. Requires M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Atmospheric
Science or related field and strong background in software engineering and
computational mathematics, including numerical linear algebra and
differential equations. Programming experience in Unix and Unix shell
scripting, Fortran 77/90 required (Perl, C, C++ desirable), with a minimum
3 years of experience developing large software systems. Experience in
the design and implementation of distributed memory applications using the
message-passing is highly desirable.
#522 SENIOR PARALLEL PROGRAMMING EXPERT --- supporting the Data
Assimilation Office (DAO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Successful
candidate will work with leading NASA scientists in developing data
assimilation algorithms for the next generation
Physical-space/Finite-volume Data Assimilation System. The work entails
the design, implementation and validation of a parallel application
targeted for the newest generation of supercomputers. The candidate will
assume a high degree of responsibility for all phases of the software life
cycle. Requires M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Software Engineering,
Computational Mathematics or a related field and a proven ability in
distributed memory and shared memory programming for production
applications. The candidate should have at least 3 years of actual
parallel programming experience. Experience in Atmospheric Science is
highly desirable.

Subject: Research Position at Potsdam Institute, Germany
The Integrated Systems Analysis department at Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research welcomes applications for a IIa BAT-O (1/2)
post-graduate research position in Numerical Simulation and Analysis of
the long-term co-evolution biosphere and geosphere.
You will join an active research group with an already very well
structured project. The post-graduate studies will involve numerical
simulation of geophysical models. The work will develop in a very
friendly interdisciplinary team environment and involves collaborating
with other international universities and research institutes. This
position is in a first moment until December 2000 but ideal for a
graduate willing to do a PhD since, upon performance, it is likely to be
extended another two years.
We expect you to have a degree in mathematics, physics, engineering or
computer science with a strong numerical analysis background. You should
have knowledge in scientific programming in either Fortran or C being
the knowledge of Matlab or other scientific packages an advantage. It is
also a merit to have some experience in geophysics.
Applications by email in .ps (do not compress it, please) or Word97
are most welcome. The CV should not be longer than two pages and, if
selected, you will be ask to document all your merits.
For further information, please, contact Professor Dr. Franck,
email:
Siegfried.Franck@pik-potsdam.de
Applications by email are to be sent to
Siegfried.Franck@pik-potsdam.de
Applications by post are to be directed and sent to
Abteilungsleiter Integrated Systems Analysis
Potsdam-Instituts fur Klimafolgenforschung e.V. ( PIK )
Herrn Prof. Dr. Siegfried Franck
Postfach 60 12 03, 14412 Potsdam
