Subject: ViTE ("Visual Trace Explorer") 1.0 is out !
We announce the release, as libre/free software, of version 1.0 of
ViTE (Visual Trace Explorer) : http://vite.gforge.inria.fr/ .
With the ever increasing dissemination of multi-core architectures,
parallel and/or distributed applications are becoming the norm, so
as to use computer resources as efficiently as possible. Trace
collection and visualization is useful for developers willing to
debug and monitor the performance of their parallel applications.
Yet, most existing trace visualization tools are proprietary or
cannot handle large trace files.
ViTE is a powerful, portable and open-source profiling tool which
visualizes the traces produced of parallel applications. Thanks to
its scalable design, ViTE efficiently helps programmers to analyze
the performance of potentially large applications running on many
cores and communicating processes.
ViTE allows one to visualize traces written in the Pajé open format
(see http://www-id.imag.fr/Logiciels/paje/). Its features comprise
the ability to export views in the SVG format, so as to integrate
them easily into reports, and the production of statistics.
More information is available on the official website of ViTE :
http://vite.gforge.inria.fr/ , or on the forge itself :
http://gforge.inria.fr/projects/vite/ .

Subject: PhD/postdoc on Uncertainty propagation in multiscale systems, Belgium
Ph.D. or postdoctoral position on "Computational aspects of
uncertainty propagation in multiscale systems" at K.U.Leuven, Belgium
Many problems in science and engineering are characterized by the
presence of multiple scales. In the Scientific Computing Group at
the dept. of Computer Science, K.U.Leuven, we develop numerical
techniques for the simulation and analysis of multiscale models, with
emphasis on the 'equation-free framework' and RVE-based micro/macro
methods.
In a new project, we aim to quantify and to control the inherent
uncertainty at the coarse scale that originates from the use of
stochastic fine-scale models. Due to the fine-scale stochasticity,
propagates into the coarse model and how it affects the coarse
solution. The aim is to reduce this numerical noise, and to
investigate how to match the resulting errors with those resulting
from other sources, such as discretisation errors.
For this project we are looking for a candidate holding a masters
degree or PhD in either Applied Mathematics/Numerical
Mathematics/Scientific Computing or similar disciplines, who is
interested to work on this project, in collaboration with other
researchers in the group.
The position at the pre-doctoral level will be initially for one
year. After a positive evaluation, this position will be extended
for three more years. The position at the post-doctoral level is for
one year with the possibility of extension for a second year.
The position can commence immediately.
Interested candidates should submit their application by email to
Dirk.Roose@cs.kuleuven.be and to Giovanni.Samaey@cs.kuleuven.be .
The email should contain a pdf-file as an attachment with the
following information:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- a short description of your qualifications and experience (i.e.
courses, Diploma or Master thesis, PhD thesis)
- a letter describing your scientific interests related to the project
- names and email-addresses of one or two scientists willing to
provide a reference
