Subject: Volunteers sought to test new approximation book

I am in the process of completing a textbook called
"Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice: A 21st
Century Treatment in the Form of 32 Executable Chebfun
M-Files". I'm looking for a couple of colleagues who
might be able to beta-test this project by using the
book as a text for a course in the autumn of this year. The
current draft of the first eight chapters can be found at
http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~trefethen/trefethen_sample.pdf.
If you might be able to help, would you get in touch?
Thanks very much.

Subject: Release of checkpointing software, SRS, version 1.2.0

We are pleased to announce the release of

SRS (Stop Restart Software) - version 1.2.0, a checkpointing library for
malleable parallel applications.
Web site: http://garl.serc.iisc.ernet.in/SRS/srs.htm

The software is available under GNU GPL license.

SRS library allows users to checkpoint MPI based parallel applications for
fault tolerance and rescheduling. Users can invoke the simple set of APIs
provided by SRS to make their applications preemptible. The unique
feature of
SRS is that it allows applications to reconfigure between stops and
restarts.
The reconfiguration can be in terms of the processor configuration or data
distribution or both. SRS allows starting an application on M processors,
checkpoint, migrate and continue on N different processors. The user can
start
his application on 1000 processors with block distribution for data, stop it
and continue on 6000 processors with block cyclic data distribution.
Thus SRS
supports malleable applications in terms of the number of processors
used for
execution. This is highly important for execution of long-running
applications
on modern-day supercomputers where available number of processors can change
during execution time and on dynamic environments including grids and
clouds.
SRS is also portable across different MPI implementations.

The software contains examples of checkpointing popular numerical packages
including ScaLAPACK (dense linear solver) and PETSC (sparse iterative
solvers). Other features of the current release include:

* Utilities for stopping application during execution.
* Utility for moving checkpointed data from one set of storage servers to
others.
* Utility for changing checkpointing interval during application execution.
* Utilities for completely migrating application execution along with the
checkpointing infrastructure to different environment in the middle of the
execution.
* Support for two different storage infrastructures - file-based and IBP.
* Integration with Network Weather Service to choose the nearest subset of
storage servers to computational servers.
* A new preliminary precompiler tool for automatically instrumenting
parallel
applications with checkpointing calls.

Subject: New book, Discrete Inverse Problems

Announcing the February 24 publication by SIAM of:

Discrete Inverse Problems: Insight and Algorithms, by Per Christian Hansen

2010 / xii + 213 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-0-898716-96-2
List Price $65.00 / SIAM Members $45.50 / Order Code FA07

This book gives an introduction to the practical treatment of inverse
problems
by means of numerical methods, with a focus on basic mathematical and
computational aspects. To solve inverse problems, we demonstrate that
insight
about them goes hand in hand with algorithms. It includes a number of
tutorial
exercises that give the reader hands-on experience with the methods,
difficulties, and challenges associated with the treatment of inverse
problems, along with examples and figures that illustrate the theory and
algorithms.

The book is written for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in
engineering and other areas that depend on solving inverse problems with
noisy
data. The aim is to provide readers with enough background that they can
solve
simple inverse problems and read more advanced literature on the subject.

project, involving at least two different disciplines. At least one of
these areas of research should be in the mathematical sciences, which
includes mathematical statistics, computational science and systems
engineering. The second area of research should have a connection to
complex and dynamic systems, such as those found in physics, chemistry,
biology, economics, finance etc. Postdocs will be required to engage
actively in the activities of the centre, i.e. seminars, scientific
consultation and so on. The work consists of at least 80 percent of
research and no more than 20 percent teaching.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a host institution at
Uppsala University to discuss potential research projects before
submitting their written applications. The university is striving for a
more even gender balance in its research and teaching staff, and women
are especially encouraged to apply for these positions. The application
deadline is April 1.

(VPTI) at the University of California, Irvine. We seek scholars with
a strong record of productive activity in computational biophotonics
who can make significant contributions to the design, development and
implementation of the Virtual Tissue Simulator (VTS) computational
platform under development within the VPTI. Specifically, we are
looking for researchers with experience in computational methods for
modeling and simulation of radiative transport processes in biological
systems. The scholar will interact closely with the VPTI team and will
play an active role in applying analytic, deterministic and/or
stochastic methods to problems involving optical diagnostics,
therapeutics and/or imaging. Moreover, as the VPTI seeks to translate
these tools for broad use in the biomedical research community using
VTS, researchers with experience in object-oriented programming,
parallel computing and/or the design of graphical user interfaces
would be particularly attractive. Good organization, oral and written
communication skills, and the ability to work constructively in a team
setting are essential. The candidate will have access to resources at
the Laser Microbeam and Medical Program, a NIH-funded National
Biotechnology Resource housed within the Beckman Laser Institute,
which is active in the development of a broad variety of optical
technologies for biomedical application. This position provides a
unique opportunity to gain experience in a multidisciplinary
environment and any background in biomedical optics/biophotonics is
valuable. Salary will be based on the specific skill set of the
candidate and previous experience. The initial appointment will be for
a one-year period, with possibility of extension.

Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in biomedical engineering,
medical physics, applied/computational mathematics or equivalent. The
specific salary will depend on the level of experience and previous
track record. Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will
continue until the position is filled.

To be considered for the position, applicants should send a curriculum
vitae and names/addresses of at least three references to:
