Subject: LINPACK benchmark on PCs

Recently a colleague and I have been running the LINPACK benchmark on a
range of local machines as part of a course we are developing on modern
single processor architectures. Our results on Sun workstations match the
reported figures in the latest LINPACK benchmark report, but we have been
unable to match the reported performance on a 33 MHz 486DX system. We
would appreciate any advice on what we are missing in our machine
configuration or in our compiler set-up.

The reported performance on a Compaq DeskPRO 486/33l-120 using the
Salford compiler is listed with a respectible 1.3 Mflop/s. Similar
results on the same machine with different compilers are also given.

The best performance we have obtained on a 33MHz 486DX machine with
256 KB cache and 70 ns memory was 0.8 Mflop/s with the Salford compiler,
using the optimise parameter. Why the difference? The speed of the cache
memory seems to be the only major unknown variable. Would down market
machines contain 50 ns cache?

Readers might be interested in the impact that the presence of cache
has on 486 and 386/387 machines. We have obtained the following results,
again using the Salford compiler, version 2.51. The units are Mflop/s.

Full caching internal only no cache
33 Mhz 486 0.8 0.6 0.4
40 MHz 386/387 0.4 --- 0.25
20 Mhz 386/387 --- --- 0.14

I would appreciate hearing from those with top-end 486DX machines
performing similar experiments. The linpackd.f file required for the
benchmark is available from netlib via >send linpackd.f from benchmark<.

Thanks very much.

RKSUITE is a suite of codes implementing Runge-Kutta methods. It solves
numerically the initial value problem for a first order system of ordinary
differential equations. RKSUITE supersedes very widely used codes written
by the authors and their coauthors: the subroutine RKF45 available from
many sources including several books (and RKF45's descendent DDERKF in the
SLATEC library), and the subroutine D02PAF and associated codes in the NAG
Fortran library. With RKSUITE comes extensive machine-readable
documentation, and a number of templates demonstrating the use of the
software on a variety of problems and for a number of tasks. These
templates are accompanied by corresponding output files. RKSUITE is
written in standard FORTRAN 77 and is distributed in source form.

RKSUITE including associated documentation, templates and output files is
available, at no cost, by electronic file transfer. It resides in the
"ode" directory of the netlib collection of mathematical software (at
netlib@research.att.com). (Within a few weeks the software will filter
through to the other netlib sites.) RKSUITE may also be obtained by
anonymous ftp from seas.smu.edu where it resides, in compressed form, in
the /pub directory. It is available in both zip and tar.Z formats, in
files with names rksuite.zip and rksuite.tar.Z respectively.

RKSUITE is also available on a 3.5" high density diskette in MS-DOS
format. To obtain a diskette contact the second author at the address in
the reference below (send $10 US to defray costs):

ODEs, SoftReport 92-S1, Department of Mathematics, Southern Methodist
University, Dallas, TX 75275, U.S.A.

This softreport (which is the RKSUITE diskette) is a suitable citation for
anyone publishing material making substantial use of the software.

Enhancements to RKSUITE are planned for a future release. Requests for
additional functionality are sought. Please send ordinary mail to the
second author at the SMU address above or email to any of the authors.

Subject: Auckland Workshop on Matrix Methods for Statistics

International Workshop on Matrix Methods for Statistics
Auckland, New Zealand: 4-5 December 1992

An International Workshop on Matrix Methods for
Statistics will be held on Friday-Saturday,
4-5 December 1992 at the University of Auckland,
Auckland, New Zealand. The purpose of this Work-
shop is to foster the interaction, in an informal set-
ting, of researchers in the interface between matrix
theory and statistics. Co-sponsored by the Institute
of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Interna-
tional Linear Algebra Society (ILAS), this Workshop
is a satellite to, and almost immediately precedes,
the International Biometric Conference-IBC92, to be
held in Hamilton, New Zealand, 7-11 December 1992
[The IMS Bulletin 20(1991):518-519, 597;
21(1992):86]; there will be several other satellite
conferences.

The International Organizing Committee for this
Workshop comprises Harold V. Henderson (Ruakura
Agricultural Centre, Hamilton), Jeffrey J. Hunter
(Massey University, Palmerston North), Bryan F. J.
Manly (University of Otago, Dunedin), Simo Puntanen
(University of Tampere), Alastair J. Scott
(University of Auckland), and George P. H. Styan
(McGill University, Montreal).

We expect Bill Farebrother to show that the Gauss-
Markov Theorem is due to (Johann) Carl Friedrich
Gauss (1777-1855) alone and how the formalisation of
matrix algebra in the 1850s and 1860s was preceded
by Gauss's identification of a linearly dependent
system of equations, implicit LU decomposition of a
square matrix, definition of a generalised inverse,
and derivation of an LDL' decomposition of a real
symmetric matrix.

Subject: Post-doctoral Position at University of North Carolina

A post-doctoral position involving applied mathematics is available at the
Center for Environmental Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,
North Carolina. The work is of a biomedical engineering nature. Specifically,
the research involves the development of theoretical models describing the
behavior and fate of inhaled particles and gases for applications to inhalation
toxicology and aerosol therapy. The related computer codes will simulate the
fluid dynamics of human airways and associated thermodynamic processes (i.e.,
heat and mass transfer between particles, fluids and lung passages). The ideal
candidate will have a doctoral degree in numerical analysis or computational
mathematics and be familiar with partial differential equations and related
boundary value problems, and computer simulation techniques. It wlill be highly
desirable if the candidate has experience with Navier-Stokes equations.

Some key parameters of the position are listed below:

Salary: The approximate range is $22,558 - $26,878.
Starting Date: Oct. 1, 1992.
Duration: The stipend is guaranteed for one year, with the possibility
of renewal for up to 3 years.
