Subject: PaStiX solver, new release 5.2 available

We announce the release, as libre/free software, of revision 5.2
(major release, named "ambiorix") of the PaStiX software.

PaStiX (http://pastix.gforge.inria.fr) is a scientific library that
provides a high performance parallel solver for very large sparse
linear systems based on direct methods. Numerical algorithms are
implemented in single or double precision (real or complex) using LLt,
LDLt and LU with static pivoting (for non symmetric matrices having a
symmetric pattern). This solver provides also an adaptive blockwise
iLU(k) factorization that can be used as a parallel preconditioner
using approximated supernodes to build a coarser block structure of
the incomplete factors.

Major updates (see
http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=7096) :
- Static scheduling can be extended with dynamic strategies during
numerical factorization to improve performances on multicore
architectures (have to be enabled with -DPASTIX_DYNSCHED).
- Native scheduler can be replaced with the runtime StarPU
(http://starpu.gforge.inria.fr) to provide multicore/multigpu
implementation of the numerical factorization (have to be enabled with
-DWITH_STARPU, require CUDA installation). Work in progress !
- Hybrid implementation mixing MPI and threads can improve
performances and reduce memory requirements on clusters of
shared-memory architectures but may have strong impact on the rest of
the user's code. Now you can enable the IPARM_AUTOSPLIT_COMM option to
submit a job in a full-MPI mode (PaStiX will split the MPI
communicator to reduce automatically the matrix on nodes and will
activate threads).
- Kernels have been extended to support complex hermitian matrices
(LLh or LDLh). LDLt can still be applied on a non-hermitian complex
symmetric matrix.
- MURGE interface has been improved (released on
http://murge.gforge.inria.fr) dedicated to finite element codes,
common with HIPS solver (http://hips.gforge.inria.fr).

Subject: Destruction of computer science/engineering at UF

Many of my colleagues have been asking about this concern, having seen
it in the news or from other colleagues.

My department needs your help. Please see
http://saveufcise.wordpress.com/ for more details.

The Dean of the College of Engineering has proposed the destruction of
my department (the Computer and Information Science and Engieering
department at the University of Florida).

About half the faculty would scatter to 3 other departments, along
with its PhD program and one MS program. The BS and MS in Computer
Science would remain in the burnt ashes of a CISE department,
dedicated solely to teaching. Faculty not chosen by other departments
would lose their research. Courses taught for the PhD program would
become service courses taught by non-research faculty.

This is at the same time that the computing discipline is increasing
in Florida and in Gainesville itself.

Please consider the facts posted at http://saveufcise.wordpress.com/
(including our Dean's proposal), and sign our petition. The Dean's
drastic reduction is under the guise of a budget reduction (2% cut to
the departments, all borne by our department), and a 'reduction of
duplication'. The change would actually increase duplication, because
the MS in Computer Engineering would move to another department, while
the MS in CS would remain in CISE.

If these changes go through, and I remain at CISE, my NSF-supported
research in sparse matrix algorithms, including x=sparse(A)\b in
MATLAB, would disappear. Other NSF-supported research would also
evaporate.

Please support our petition, and consider contacting our president to
oppose our Dean's plan (president@ufl.edu).

Leslie Greengard, New York U.
Nick Hale, U. of Oxford
Nick Higham, U. of Manchester
Daan Huybrechs, KU Leuven
Cleve Moler, MathWorks Inc.
Nick Trefethen, U. of Oxford

Contributed talks are solicited on all topics related to the theory
and practice of computing with functions. A key problem we plan to
discuss will be the development of algorithms that might enable
Chebfun-like computations to be extended to 2D or 3D.

Costs for participants will be low since the conference is heavily
subsided by the European Research Council. Note that that since
numbers are limited, likely participants are asked to send a message
to conference@chebfun.org to reserve a place.
