Subject: Whitehead Prizes for Mike Powell, Nick Higham
I am happy to report two major prize awards to numerical analysts just
announced by the London Mathematical Society. A Senior Whitehead Prize
(these prizes are given every two years) has been awarded to Prof. Mike
Powell of the University of Cambridge in recognition of his
contributions to the fields of numerical optimization and
approximation. A Junior Whitehead Prize (these prizes are restricted
to candidates under 40) has been awarded to Prof. Nick Higham of the
University of Manchester in recognition of his contributions to
numerical linear algebra.
The Junior and Senior Whitehead Prizes are very conspicuous awards in
the mathematics community of the United Kingdom. Most winners over the
years have been pure mathematicians, which makes this recognition of
leading numerical analysts all the more noteworthy. Congratulations,
Mike and Nick!

Subject: New UltraSPARC In-cache FFT Speed Records
I'm pleased to announce the availability of djbfft 0.75, a fast library
for floating-point convolution.
New in this version is UltraSPARC scheduling. For example, a 256-point
double-precision complex FFT takes about 6300 UltraSPARC cycles with
djbfft 0.75 (using gcc -O1, the default compiler). The floating-point
adder uses 5008 of these 6300 cycles; most of the loads, stores, and
multiplications take place in parallel with additions.
In contrast, FFTW trusts the compiler to handle instruction scheduling.
According to the FFTW web pages, a 256-point double-precision complex
FFT takes about 10000 UltraSPARC cycles with FFTW (using Sun's compiler
with various optimization options selected by the FFTW authors).
This version of djbfft, like previous versions, is more than twice as
fast as FFTW on the Pentium and Pentium MMX. It is also faster than FFTW
on many chips for which it has not been scheduled, including the Pentium
Pro, Pentium II, and Pentium III. I haven't decided yet which chips I'll
look at next.

Graph partitioning is an important problem with extensive applications
in many different areas including scientific computing, parallel
processing, VLSI design, data-mining, and efficient storage of large
databases. For example, the ability to find good partitionings of
large irregular, dynamic and adaptive meshes is critical for efficient
execution of many computational simulations on high performance computers.
A two day workshop on Graph Partitioning Applications is being held at
the Army High Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC) at the
University of Minnesota to bring together researchers working on graph
partitioning algorithms as well as researchers who need partitioning
techniques to solve their problems. The workshop will provide a forum
for presentation of new formulations as well as algorithms for graph
partitioning, and novel, innovative applications of graph partitioning.
