Subject: Top Ten Algorithms
Many of you have probably seen the highly distributed list of 'Top Ten
Algorithms', from the January-February issue of IEEE/AIP Computing in
Science and Engineering. Jack Dongarra and Francis Sullivan were the
guest editors for that issue. It's an interesting choice and reflects
the personal view of two well known computational scientists. I'd like
to open up a discussion to our community and hear of their choice of
the top ten numerical algorithms. For instance, I believe multi-grid
should be placed on this list as well as the finite element method and SOR.
So if you have the time send me a list of your top 10 (or five or twenty)
algorithms. A few comments might be useful. I'll get a report back to you
in a few months.
Best,
Gene
1. 1946: The Metropolis Algorithm for Monte Carlo. Through the use of
random processes, this algorithm offers an efficient way to stumble
toward answers to problems that are too complicated to solve exactly.
2. 1947: Simplex Method for Linear Programming. An elegant solution to
a common problem in planning and decision-making.
3. 1950: Krylov Subspace Iteration Method. A technique for rapidly
solving the linear equations that abound in scientific computation.
4. 1951: The Decompositional Approach to Matrix Computations. A suite
of techniques for numerical linear algebra.
5. 1957: The Fortran Optimizing Compiler. Turns high-level code into
efficient computer-readable code.
6. 1959: QR Algorithm for Computing Eigenvalues. Another crucial
matrix operation made swift and practical.
7. 1962: Quicksort Algorithms for Sorting. For the efficient handling
of large databases.
8. 1965: Fast Fourier Transform. Perhaps the most ubiquitous algorithm
in use today, it breaks down waveforms (like sound) into periodic
components.
9. 1977: Integer Relation Detection. A fast method for spotting simple
equations satisfied by collections of seemingly unrelated numbers.
10. 1987: Fast Multipole Method. A breakthrough in dealing with the
complexity of n-body calculations, applied in problems ranging from
celestial mechanics to protein folding.

Subject: Distributed Matrix Transpose
Dear NA-Digesters,
I have been looking for some time now for a good review of distributed
matrix (in-place) transpose software and algorithms.
I am running a few spectral CFD models on distributed memory architectures
within the message passing paradigm.
So far I have used mostly a scheme like that offered by the MPI_ALLTOALL
primitive and I have developed variants of this.
However, in order to be able to push my model resolution to 1024^3 and
hopefully more, I desperately need to reduce the scratch space needed
for the transpose.
I would therefore want to do an in-place or almost in-place transpose.
Can you help me with pointers to software and algorithms allowing me to
control precisely the scratch space needed?
Thank You,
Christophe Koudella

Subject: Quadratic Spline Approximation
Out of interest, I have been trying to use a quadratic spline function
to solve a certain singular integral equation (we are familiar with the
cubic spline, which is more efficient).
In this case, one would need to solve the recurrence relation,
Z_i+1 = -Z_i + 2(f_i+1- f_i)/h_i , where Z_i = S'_i(x_i)
How do you get the starting value Z_0 ? Some texts suggest arbitrary
value for Z_0. This does not help. Specifying the spline piece in the
interval and substituing x= x_0 does not help either. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I will compile the list and make it available.
The created list will have several user-friendly

In order to avoid heavy duplication in e-mails let me
request that the following well-known sites to be

Subject: Traian Iliescu is the 2000 Wilkinson Fellow
Traian Iliescu of the University of Pittsburgh has been named the 2000
Wilkinson Fellow in Scientific Computing. He will join the Mathematics and
Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory in August 2000.
In announcing the award, the selection committee cited Iliescu's fundamental
contributions to the simulation of turbulent flows. Understanding such
flows is central to many applications such as pollution estimation, global
climate change calculations, and combustion.
Iliescu received a Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from the University
of Pittsburgh in July 2000. For his thesis, he carried out a rigorous
mathematical investigation of large eddy simulation. He proved, in
particular, that the equations describing large eddy motion are well posed.
Iliescu won the SIAM student paper prize for the best graduate student
research in applied mathematics and has published in the Journal for
Numerical Methods in Engineering, the SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis,
and Applied Mathematics Letters. Two other articles are scheduled to appear.
Iliescu has also collaborated on an industrial project modeling aluminum
reduction, an energy-intensive process consuming over 10 percent of the
annual U.S. electrical output. For this project he developed a parallel
linear solver that enabled scientists for the first time to accurately
examine thermo-electrical effects in three dimensions.
Iliescu will join the faculty of the Applied Mathematics department at
Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) after
his appointment at Argonne.
The Wilkinson Fellowship was created by Argonne's Mathematics and Computer
Science Division in memory of Dr. James Hardy Wilkinson, F.R.S., who for
many years acted as a consultant and guiding spirit for such efforts as the
EISPACK and LINPACK projects. The fellowship is intended to assist a young
scientist engaged in state-of-the-art research in scientific computing.

Simulations that Respond: in Context, to Web Queries,
Quasi-Instantaneously, with a Certificate of Fidelity
T. Leurent, C. Prud'homme, D. V. Rovas, and A. T. Patera
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This project comprises two components. These components can in fact
serve various goals independently, though in our examples we treat
them as an ensemble.
The first component of the project is the development of a small set
of tools that allow engineers and scientists to Write and Read
standard Latex documents with seamlessly integrated actionable
parametrized equations that, upon request, invoke computations
residing on servers (anywhere) to compute the desired Outputs and then
dynamically update the document and graphics accordingly. The second
component of the project is the development of Reduced-Basis Output
Bound methods that provide, for a wide range of problems, effectively
real-time predictions and associated error bars - certificates of
fidelity - for
the desired Outputs of (ostensibly computationally intensive)
mathematical models. For the latter, our current focus is on elliptic
partial differential equations.
To obtain a quick sense of a first release of the "end product,"
please access the thermal fin example (PDF version)
<http://augustine.mit.edu/example/fin.pdf>. [Requirement:
Users must have Acrobat Reader installed, at least
version 4.x (x>=0), and must configure Netscape (under Mac
and Unix flavors such as Linux) to use Acrobat Reader as a
plugin for PDF documents.] Very little documentation
is required to exercise this example: enter, in the obvious fields,
the numerical values (within the ranges specified in the text) for the
seven components of the parameter vector; then click on the "=" in the
box following the parameter list to compute the value for the root
temperature of the fin - the output of interest - and the associated
error bar.
To construct dynamic figures, see the Reader documentation
<http://augustine.mit.edu/description.php#whatever>.
This work is or has been supported by the Singapore-MIT Alliance, the
NASA Langley Research Center, the AFOSR, and the Sandia National
Laboratories. Many components of this work are done in collaboration

Clusters are gaining popularity among scientists due to their
cost-effectiveness.The primary drawback of clusters are high network
latency, low bandwidth, parallel I/O and single system image. The
tutorial is focused on how to write highly optimized parallel programs
for clusters using Message Passing Interface (MPI) or Parallel Virtual
Machine (PVM).
