Subject: NSF: LTB of Numerical Methods in Large Scale Scientific Computing
Dear Colleague:
The Computational Mathematics Program of the Division of Mathematical
Sciences (DMS) at the National Science Foundation has a long history of
supporting basic research on numerical methods and algorithm design in
large-scale computation for problems in science and engineering. This
letter is to inform the mathematics community that the program has a
focused topic area in Fiscal Year 2007 that addresses long-time behavior
(LTB) of numerical methods in large scale scientific computing. This
area of emphasis should not discourage the community from submitting
proposals in the usual wide variety of computation-related fields, but
should be viewed as a special topic of interest.
The number of degrees of freedom, in particular the number of time
steps, for solving partial differential equations grows as computational
resources grow. Errors or numerical artifacts that may be insignificant
when the number of time steps to solution is relatively small can
dominate a calculation as this number reaches the tens or hundreds of
thousands. Such non-physical artifacts can come in a variety of forms,
from the accumulation of numerical truncation error, round-off error,
uncertainty in physical parameter values, model uncertainty, etc.
Theoretical error estimates containing constants that grow exponentially
with time are not adequate to address these effects. Further, as
computational platforms grow in size with increasing numbers of CPUs,
the advent of commodity multi-core processors, and the increasing
heterogeneity of computing environments, increasing care must be paid to
designing algorithms that are conducive to such architectures. The
trend in computational hardware is to have tens or hundreds of thousands
of processors with limited memory associated with each processor and
nodes that contain clusters of processors. It is critical that proposed
numerical approaches take into account various latencies and load
balancing issues that will certainly be encountered on such
architectures. Such large calculations produce very large data sets.
Algorithms for the efficient analysis and visualization of very large
data sets on such modern architectures in order to uncover hidden
correlations and structures are also of interest. Above all, the
physical correctness of the calculation is the most important issue.
Arriving at a physically relevant answer requires careful attention to
the above issues as well as others.
The Division of Mathematical Sciences of the Directorate for
Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the National Science Foundation
recognizes the needs and opportunities posed by this recent surge in
interest in long-time and large-scale computing. Unsolicited research
proposals to DMS addressing cross-cutting topics in one or more aspects
of large-scale scientific computing are considered a focused topic area
by the Computational Mathematics Program. We invite novel and creative
numerical approaches that address solving real physical problems in such
environments.
Proposals addressing this focused topic area should include the label
"LTB:" at the beginning of the proposal title. Such proposals should be
submitted to the Computational Mathematics Program before January 15,
2007; see the NSF web site,
http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DMS.
Prior to submitting a proposal, investigators are strongly encouraged to
contact the Computational Mathematics Program.

and medical imaging to join a 3-year, EPSRC-funded project in magnetic
induction tomography. This is a technique that maps the internal electrical
conductivity of the body and is being developed as a new medical imaging
modality. Of particular interest in this project is the imaging of cerebral
stroke and the potential for a new means of rapid diagnosis that could enable
a more timely treatment.
The work will involve numerical modelling and practical laboratory imaging,
leading to clinical measurements. There will be opportunities to present
results at international conferences. Although based at Swansea University,
you will work as part of an established multi-centre research team involving
the Universities of Glamorgan and Manchester, as well as other industrial and
academic partners. You should have a First or Upper Second Class degree, or
equivalent, in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or a related field.
The studentship is available from 1 November 2006 with a starting date no
later than 1 April 2007.
The stipend will be at the current EPSRC level, £UK12,300 per annum. Tuition
fees will be funded (including at overseas rate).
Further particulars are available from Professor H. Griffiths, tel: +44
(0)1792 285297, email: huw.griffiths@swansea-tr.wales.nhs.uk. To make a formal
application, please email your curriculum vitae to Professor Griffiths, with a
covering letter/message giving the names and contact details of two academic
referees. Interviews will be held in early November.
General information about Swansea University and the School of Medicine can be
