Subject: Asynchrony in the PGAS Programming Model, New York, Jun 2009
Call for Papers
Workshop on Asynchrony in the PGAS Programming Model
http://research.ihost.com/apgas09/
Co-located with ICS 2009
Yorktown Heights, NY
June 8, 2009
The new golden era of concurrency offers a diversity of concurrent
architectures to the application programmer -- clusters of symmetric
multiprocessors, heterogeneous accelerators (such as the Cell,
GPGPUs), large core-count integrated machines (such as the Blue Gene),
and multiple levels of parallelism (multithreaded multicores, such the
newer Power architectures, or distributed multiprocessors like the
Cray MTA).
The central programming challenge for these new architectures is to
develop a suitable and robust programming model. The Partitioned
Global Address Space (PGAS) model has attracted considerable attention
as such a programming model, particularly in the High Performance
Computing space. However, widespread acceptance and extension to newer
paradigms (e.g. to heteregeneous accelerators and irregular
application domains) has been hampered by a focus on homogoneous
execution contexts and the Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD)
threading model.
Several research groups have recently started to investigate
asynchronous execution in the PGAS model. Asynchronous execution is
the foundation for active message programming, and fine-grained
concurrency (e.g. Cilk-style fork-join, OpenMP style teams). It is
also the basis for data transfer between non-coherent memories (DMA),
remote atomic operations, and in general for techniques for
overlapping computation and communication. Finally, asynchronous
execution offers a simple model for spawning massive multi-threaded
kernel computations on accelerators such as GPUs.
Authors are invited to submit a 10 page paper for consideration for
the workshop. We invite papers on all aspects of the PGAS programming
model, with particular emphasis on handling asynchronous
(multi-threaded) execution (topics enumerated below).

Subject: Summer School on Sparsity at RICAM, Aug/Sep 2009
I'm very glad to announce the Summer School on "Theoretical Foundations
and Numerical Methods for Sparse Recovery" which will be held at the
Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM),
Linz - Austria, on August 31 - September 4, 2009.
The School is addressed to graduate students and early stage researchers.
The Program of the School and Important Notices are briefly illustrated
below. More information and addresses can be found at the web-site
http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/events/summerschool_2009/
The poster of the School can be downloaded from
http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/events/summerschool_2009/img/summerschool_2009.jpg
PROGRAM
Introduction:
Sparsity has become a very important concept in recent years in applied
mathematics, especially in mathematical signal and image processing, in
the numerical treatment of PDEs as well as in inverse problems. The key
idea is that many types of functions and signals arising naturally in
these contexts can be described by only a small number of
significant degrees of freedom. Clearly, one should take advantage of this
feature in order to design very efficient ad hoc numerical solutions
based on a drastic dimensionality reduction. This intensive School aims at
describing the novel ideas that have emerged in sparse recovery with
emphasis on theoretical foundations and numerical methodologies.
Our lecturers and courses:
Antonin Chambolle (Centre de Mathematiques Appliquees, Ecole
Polytechnique, Paris - FRANCE)
Title of the course: Total variation and related functionals
Massimo Fornasier (RICAM, Oesterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften,
Linz- AUSTRIA)
Title of the course: Numerical methods for sparse recovery

Questions regarding the open positions should be addressed to professor Are
Magnus Bruaset (arem@simula.no).
Simula Research Laboratory's main objective is to generate new understanding
and create vital knowledge about fundamental scientific challenges that are
of genuine value for society. Important research with long-term impact in
the fields of networks and distributed systems, scientific computing and
software engineering constitutes the basis of Simula. The strong focus on
basic research is combined with both teaching of postgraduate students and
development of commercial applications.

Subject: The Mouseholder QR, part 4 of 8
Robert Burns original:
Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's winds ensuin,
Baith snell an' keen!
Modern English, non-poetic:
Your little house, also in ruin! Its silly walls the winds are scattering!
And nothing, now, to build a new one, of green stubble grown in winter.
And bleak December winds ensuing, both severe and sharp.
Matrix translation:
Thy wee Householder too, in ruin!
Its silly col's the Inf's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' function Green's;
A bleak expansion's unconvergin'
By standard means!
