Subject: Public Comment Period OpenMP Specification 2.5
Public Comment Period Begun for OpenMP Specification 2.5
The OpenMP ARB is pleased to announce the release of a draft of
Version 2.5 of the OpenMP specifications for public comment. The goal
of this version is to combine the Fortran and C/C++ specifications
into a single document and to resolve inconsistencies.
Sanjiv Shah, CEO of the OpenMP organization, praised the efforts
that produced the combined specification. "The OpenMP 2.5 Language
committee did an outstanding job. Every word was scrutinized to
produce a specification that is precise and self-consistent. This
work creates a solid foundation upon which to expand the execution
model and expressiveness in future OpenMP specifications."
The draft specification is available in PDF format from the
Specifications section of the OpenMP ARB website www.openmp.org
(Direct link: http://www.openmp.org/drupal/mp-documents/draft_spec25.pdf)
Mark Bull has led the effort to merge the specifications into a
single document as the Chair of the OpenMP Language Committee.
He states that "Despite the committee's best efforts, there are a
small number of outstanding issues which have not been resolved at
the time of publication of the draft specification. The committee
will continue to work on these, with the aim of clearing them up
before the end of the public comment period."
The ARB warmly welcomes any comments, corrections and suggestions you
have for Version 2.5. Please send email to feedback@openmp.org
It is most helpful if you can refer to the page number and line number
where appropriate.
The public comment period will close on 31 January 2005.

First SIAM Matrix-based Information Processing Symposium (MIPS 2005)
Wednesday, April 20, 2005
Newport Beach, California
Co-located with
Fifth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining
April 21-23, 2005
The fields of information processing, automatic pattern extraction and
statistical learning are rapidly merging into other areas of science
and engineering. These data mining and machine learning fields are
increasingly adapting methodologies and algorithms from advanced matrix
computations, graph theory, and combinatorial optimization. Because of
the large overlap with traditional SIAM research areas, these new
fields can benefit greatly from more increased participation from the
SIAM community. There are ample opportunities for cross-fertilization
at the interface between data mining/machine learning and scientific
computing/applied mathematics in general as evidenced by some of the
recent advances and contributions from the SIAM community. At the same
time, ideas and methods from machine learning can contribute to
grand-challenge problems in scientific computing and computational
science.
This symposium will present recent advances in algorithms and
methodologies using matrix and graph algorithms, statistics, and other
methods of applied mathematics. We hope to bring together expert
researchers from many fields to share ideas and form collaborations.
The symposium will feature invited survey talks on recent progress and
contributed talks presenting new results. Papers will be reviewed;
accepted papers will be published in the proceedings.
