Subject: FFTW Version 3.0 is Available
FFTW is a free library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)
in one or more dimensions, of both real and complex data, and of arbitrary
input size, as well as related transforms like the DHT, DCT, and DST.
FFTW typically outperforms other freely available codes and is comparable
to vendor-tuned libraries for particular machines (updated benchmarks
coming soon). Unlike most programs, however, FFTW's performance is
portable: it automatically adapts itself to your machine without any
modification to the source. It is available from:
http://www.fftw.org
Version 3.0 of FFTW was rewritten from scratch (well, almost) to improve
the speed, flexibility, and generality of the library and API. It also
adds a number of other enhancements, from SIMD (SSE/SSE2/3DNow!/Altivec)
support, to optimized transforms of real even/odd data (discrete
cosine/sine transforms), to true in-place 1d transforms. A summary of the
changes can be found at: http://www.fftw.org/release-notes.html
Cordially,

Subject: PDE Software PHAML 0.9 Available
I am pleased to announce the availability of Version 0.9 of PHAML.
PHAML (Parallel Hierarchical Adaptive MultiLevel) is a Fortran 90
module for the solution of second order linear elliptic partial
differential equations of the form
-( p(x,y) * u ) -( q(x,y) * u ) + r(x,y) * u = f(x,y)
x x y y
with Dirichlet, Neumann (natural) or Mixed boundary conditions,
where p>0, q>0, r, and f are functions of x and y.
It also solves elliptic eigenvalue problems where f is lambda * u and
the boundary conditions are homogeneous. Other types of differential
equations (e.g. parabolic, nonlinear, systems) can be solved using
PHAML as the core elliptic solver in an iteration.
PHAML uses the same numerical methods as the popular program MGGHAT,
namely a finite element method with linear elements over triangles,
adaptive refinement via newest node bisection and a multigrid solver
based on a hierarchical basis formulation. However, PHAML is written
as a Fortran 90 module, runs on message-passing distributed-memory
parallel computers and clusters, and compiles into a library, whereas
MGGHAT is a FORTRAN 77 sequential program.
PHAML optionally uses several other packages to enhance its basic
capabilities:
- system specific BLAS and LAPACK libraries, to improve performance
- MPI or PVM, for message-passing parallelism
- OpenGL, for visualization
- Zoltan, for dynamic load balancing methods other than the default
refinement-tree method
- PETSc, for iterative solvers other than the default multigrid method
- MUMPS, for a parallel direct sparse solver option
- ARPACK, for eigenvalue problems
Hooks to other popular packages will be added in the future, to
enhance PHAML's use as a research tool for comparing different
methods and software packages.
PHAML has been tested on clusters and distributed-memory parallel
computers with most Unix-like operating systems. The distribution
contains examples demonstrating its use for solving elliptic
equations, parabolic equations, nonlinear equations, systems of
elliptic equations, and eigenvalue problems. The examples illustrate
how to use it in either a master/slave model of parallelism with
dynamic addition and deletion of processes, or an SPMD (single
program multiple data) model of parallelism. It can also be run as
a sequential program.
For more information on the PHAML project, and to download the
software, please visit
http://math.nist.gov/phaml
This should be considered to be a beta release; bug reports, comments
and suggestions are encouraged.

WORKSHOP MISSION
This year the Multimedia Data Mining workshop will bring together a diverse
group of academics and industry practitioners in integrated state-of-art
analysis of digital media content, multimedia database systems and
multimedia data streams. The workshop will address issues specifically
related to mining information from multi-modality, multi-source,
multi-format data in an integrated way. Many analysis domains collect data
from several sources, including static databases, streaming data, web pages,
or conditionally collected data. Data appear in multiple forms, including
structured, numeric, free text, video, image, speech, or combinations of
several types. Analysis in these domains requires combining of techniques
and integrating methods.

Subject: Special Issue on Computational Econometrics
Computational Statistics and Data Analysis
2nd Special Issue on COMPUTATIONAL ECONOMETRICS
http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/csda
We are inviting submissions for the 2nd special issue of Computational
Statistics and Data Analysis dealing with Computational Econometrics.
Econometric techniques are inherently computational, often
substantially so. Existing algorithms, however, do not always embody
the best of computational techniques, either for efficiency,
stability, or conditioning. Likewise, environments for doing
econometrics are inherently computer based. Integrated packages for
conducting econometrics have grown well over the years, but still have
much room for further development. Computational econometrics, then,
is a natural field that is ever ready to receive new efforts, and a
special issue in this area is always welcome. CSDA aims to have
regular issues in Computational Econometrics.
The 1st special issue dealing with Computational Econometrics has
recently been published. It features articles examining filters,
heuristic methods for estimation, MCMC, computational and numerical
aspects for estimating large-scale models, and simulation methods,
among other topics, and indicates the importance of computing in
econometrics and highlights research opportunities that exist in this
discipline.
In the 2nd special issue, we will consider papers that address
computational and numerical methods used in solving theoretical and
practical issues associated with econometric algorithms, the impact of
computing on econometrics, and specific applications involving
computing and econometrics.
The DEADLINE for submissions is the 30th of September 2003.
Submissions should contain both computational and econometric
components. Authors who are uncertain about the suitability of their
papers should contact the special issue editors. All submissions must
contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication
elsewhere. Submissions will be refereed according to standard
procedures for Computational Science and Data Analysis. Information
about the journal can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csda
Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. All manuscripts should
be double spaced or they will be returned immediately for revision.

Subject: PhD Fellowship at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship in computational mechanics
at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees near Paris (www.enpc.fr).
Multiphase transport in porous media is relevant in many engineering
applications. Examples include oil recovery, pollutant transport in
contaminated soils and the drying of a porous medium. The aim of the
PhD research project is to perform a critical analysis of several
engineering models for advective and diffusive transport in multiphase
porous media. Such analysis relies on homogenization techniques in a
periodic framework. In order to become quantitative, it must be completed
by three-dimensional numerical simulations of the partial differential
equations governing the flow at the microscopic level. Three situations of
increasing complexity shall be considered: (i) advective and diffusive
transport in single phase flow in order to analyze the relative importance
of advective phenomena and the structure of the diffusion-dispersion tensor,
(ii) advective transport in a two-phase flow in order to assess the
validity domain of Richards equation, (iii) advective and diffusive
transport in two-phase flow.
The candidate should have a graduate degree (MSc or French DEA) in
computational mechanics. Programming skills as well as a background in
the numerical solution of partial differential equations and in subsurface
flow modelling would be important assets. Working knowledge of French is
not required a priori.
The position will be for three years starting in the Fall 2003. The PhD
fellowship is approximately 1400 euros/month and includes basic health
coverage. The PhD student will be located at the Applied Mathematics
laboratory CERMICS of ENPC (cermics.enpc.fr) and will be supervised by
Prof. Alexandre Ern from CERMICS and Prof. Luc Dormieux from Materials
and Structural Mechanics laboratory LMSGC also at ENPC
(www.enpc.fr/cercso/lmsgc).
Application are reviewed by a committee with two possible deadlines on
31 May and 31 August. Application forms may be obtained by contacting
Mrs. Marie-Claude Mansat (mansat@mail.enpc.fr). Scientific questions may
be directed to Prof. A. Ern (ern@cermics.enpc.fr).
