Subject: FlashMob Supercomputer
The University of San Francisco is sponsoring the first FlashMob Supercomputer on
- Saturday, April 3, from 8 am to 6 pm,
in the
- Koret Center of the University of San Francisco.
We're planning to network 1200-1400 laptops with Myrinet and Foundry
Switches. We'll be running High-Performance Linpack, and we're hoping
to achieve 600 GFLOPS, which is faster than some of the Top500 fastest
supercomputers.
We need volunteers to
- Bring their laptops: Pentium III or IV or AMD, minimum requirements
1.3 GHz with 256 MBytes of RAM
- Be table captains: help people set up laptops before running the
benchmark
- Speak on subjects related to high-performance computing

The 17th IMACS World Congress will be held in Paris July 11-15, 2005. This
will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of IMACS, the International
Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation that was founded in
Brussels in 1955 (as AICA, the International Association for Analog
Computation -change of name to IMACS took place in 1976).
All topics represented within IMACS will be included in the Congress Program
from more theoretical questions in applied/computational mathematics to
relevent aspects of computer sciences and applications in the engineering,
environmental, social sciences -including disciplines whose recent growth
has been enabled by the appearance of powerful computers such as in
biomathematics, mathematical finance... Of particular interest will also be
those contributions concerned with the interface between applied and
computational mathematics.

Subject: Conference at Courant on Domain Decomposition Methods
First Announcement:
The 16th International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods
Courant Institute, New York City
January 12-15, 2005
In cooperation with SIAM and the SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing
The 16th International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods will
be held in New York City, at the Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences at New York University, from Wednesday afternoon January 12
through Saturday afternoon January 16, 2005.
Domain decomposition is an active, interdisciplinary research area
concerned with the development, analysis, and implementation of
coupling and decoupling strategies in mathematical and computational
models of natural and engineered systems. Historically, it emerged
from the analysis of partial differential equations, beginning with the
work of Schwarz in 1870. Since the advent of hierarchical distributed
memory computers, it has been motivated afresh by considerations of
concurrency and locality in a wide variety of large-scale problems,
continuous and discrete. The current series of international meetings
began in Paris in 1987 and has settled into an 18-month cycle.
Meetings have been hosted in China, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico,
Norway, Russia, the UK and the USA.
Contributions to the 16th international conference are encouraged in
areas of numerical analysis, computer science, scientific and
industrial applications, and software development. The conference will
include 14 plenary lectures by leading experts and promising young
scientists, participant-initiated minisymposia, contributed talks, and
posters.
The conference is vigorous and growing in diversity of scientific
scope. It continues to draw top applied mathematical analysts, while
attracting increased attention from modelers who inject new algorithmic
challenges. It is likely that there will be short course arranged just
prior to the meeting, including an introduction to the use of open
source parallel software designed to prototype domain decomposition
algorithms. A student paper contest is also planned.
Conference organizers are currently seeking funding from a variety of
federal and industrial sources within the USA in order to keep the
registration fee low for all attendees and to provide travel
scholarships for promising graduate students.

Decomposition Methods is: http://www.ddm.org
