Subject: Scientific Benchmark Problems for PC Clusters
We are in the process of purchasing a PC cluster for use by
computational scientists from several departments in our university.
Besides comparing hardware specifications, we would like to ask the
vendors to run some benchmark problems on their machines.
Preferably, these would be like the kinds of programs we will be
running in the future, so we prefer scientific applications as
opposed to business ones. We are aware of the LINPACK benchmarks
used to rate the top supercomputers at www.top500.org, but we don't
know of very many other benchmarks. Any suggestions would be
welcome. Thanks.

Subject: New Book, Schluesseltechnologie Mathematik
Schluesseltechnologie Mathematik
von Hans Josef Pesch
Warum ich dieses Buch geschrieben habe:
Mit diesem Buch wird versucht, Vorurteile abzubauen, die weitgehend die
Vorstellungen von Mathematik in unserer Gesellschaft und damit auch in den
Augen junger Menschen praegen. Denn fraegt man die Erstsemester, warum sie
Mathematik studieren, so erhaelt man i. W. nur eine Antwort: "Mathematik hat
mir schon immer Spass gemacht." Fraegt man dagegen die Erstsemester, die
Physik oder eine Ingenieurwissenschaft studieren, ob sie auch einen
mathematischen Studiengang in die engere Wahl gezogen haben, bekommt man
nicht selten ein "Ja" zu hoeren. Auf die Frage, warum aber die Entscheidung
nicht auf Mathematik gefallen sei, hoert man i. W. auch nur eine Antwort:
"Ist denn Mathematik ueberhaupt zu etwas nuetze?" "Was machen Mathematiker
ueberhaupt?" Berechtigte Fragen, denn jeder muss mit den erworbenen
Kenntnissen sein Auskommen verdienen.
Die Zielgruppe:
Ein kleines Buch fuer Abiturientinnen und Abiturienten vor einer grossen
Entscheidung und fuer alle, die mit ihrer Unkenntnis in Mathematik kokettieren,
aber auch fuer alle, denen Mathematik schon immer Spass gemacht hat, und
insbesondere fuer jene, die Mathematik studieren koennten, jedoch meinen,
dass Mathematik eine brotlose Kunst sei, sowie fuer jene, die in den harten
Anfangssemestern von Mathematikvorlesungen der Frust packt, weil sie nicht
wissen "Warum?"

Subject: Teaching Programming of High-Performance Linear Algebra Algorithms
Over the past two years, we have developed a large body of materials
for teaching the programming of high-performance linear algebra algorithms.
We believe these materials to have been valuable for undergraduate
and beginning graduate courses taught at UT-Austin. Fundamental to
the approach is the adoption of formal derivation methods from
theoretical computer science, which, somewhat surprisingly, appear to
hold the key to the high-performance implementation of dense linear
algebra libraries.
We are eager to evaluate whether the methods merely represent a
personal preference or if they have broad appeal. We are therefore
seeking to interact with others who teach this material as part of
courses in high-performance computing or linear algebra.
For more information, please visit

Of particular interest may be the latest report on the methodology,

Subject: NSF Proposals on Pattern Discovery
Dear Colleague,
The area of pattern discovery has become critical both because of the
scientific challenges involved in dealing with massive amounts of data and
because of its relevance to national security needs. While steady
incremental progress based on classical paradigms have made solutions to a
few specific problems technologically feasible, for more complex tasks there
is a clear need and scope for fundamental research to exploit available
computational resources and more advanced analytics together. Recent
progress has been based on ideas drawn from several disciplines e.g.,
computer science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, biology, medicine etc.
NSF's Information Technology Research (ITR) program, which stresses
innovative and multidisciplinary approaches for significant problems, would
be a good vehicle for funding basic research in pattern discovery.
Some technical issues are: High dimensional data modeling, novel clustering
techniques, combination of ensemble of classifiers, methods for scaling up
supervised learning algorithms. Active and reinforced learning, learning
and inference associated with graphical models including factor graphs,
MRFs. Kernel machines, transductive inference techniques. Deformable
templates; (time) sequential and 3D pattern recognition. Use of
(stochastic) grammars. Fusion of multi-modal data from heterogeneous sensors
in complex pattern recognition tasks; novel fusion paradigms.
Current applications may include: Biometrics e.g., face, fingerprint,
voice, iris, gait recognition. Tracking and surveillance including
bio-surveillance possibly arising from epidemiological considerations e.g.,
spatio-temporal event detection. Recognition and discovery of information
arising from fusion of data obtained via e.g., global sensing systems,
biological, infrared and other detectors. Biomedical and financial
forecasting applications may also be considered.
In order to facilitate review and proper tracking of proposals, submission
should be accompanied by the following designation of NSF program unit:
Large ITR projects: CISE directorate.
Medium ITR projects: CISE directorate, CCR division
Small ITR projects: CISE directorate, CCR division, "Special Project"
as a program unit.
After submitting a proposal via FastLane, please let us know the proposal
number by sending an email to:
