HOUSEHOLDER FELLOWSHIP IN SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
Mathematical Sciences Section
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Mathematical Sciences Section of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL) invites outstanding candidates to apply for the 1991 Alston S.
Householder Fellowship in Scientific Computing.
In recognition of the seminal research contributions of Dr. Householder
to the fields of numerical analysis and scientific computing, a
distinguished postdoctoral fellowship program has been established at
ORNL and named in his honor. The Householder Fellowship is supported
by the Applied Mathematical Sciences Subprogram of the U.S. Department
of Energy.
The purposes of the Householder Fellowship are to promote innovative
research in scientific computing on advanced computer architectures and
to facilitate technology transfer from the laboratory research
environment to industry and academia through advanced training of new
computational scientists. The Householder Fellowship is for a term of
one year, renewable for a second year. Benefits of the Fellowship
include a competitive salary, fringe benefits, travel opportunities,
access to state-of-the-art computational facilities (including both
parallel architectures and high-performance personal workstations), and
collaborative research opportunities in a very active research program
in advanced scientific computing. Competition for the appointment is
open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Applicants should have
completed a doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics, or
statistics within three years prior to the appointment and have a
strong background and research interest in large-scale scientific
computing.
The Mathematical Sciences Section of ORNL has research programs in
Computational Mathematics, Computer Performance Characterization,
Applied Analysis, and Computational Statistics. The precise research
emphasis of the Householder Fellow would necessarily depend to a great
degree on the research interests of the selected Fellow. Areas of
particular interest at ORNL, and in which applicants would be
especially encouraged, include:
1. Computational linear algebra, with special emphasis on sparse matrix
computations on advanced computer architectures.
2. Partial differential equations, with special emphasis on the
development of novel algorithms for solving mathematical problems arising
in environmental cleanup, such as fluid flow through porous media.
3. Tools for the development and analysis of parallel programs,
including programming environments for parallel computers and methods
for measuring and modeling the behavior and performance of parallel
algorithms.
4. Computational statistics, with special emphasis on the development
of procedures and algorithms for use in the design and analysis of
computational experiments, computer-aided experimental design, and
large-scale statistical problems.
5. ``Grand Challenges'' in computational science, emphasizing the use
of advanced computer architectures to solve important problems in
science and engineering, such as global climate modeling and
superconductivity,

Subject: Differential Equations Activity in Europe
Differential Equations in Europe
A Numerical Analyst's European Trip Report-1990
George D. Byrne
September 11, 1990
This report on my June 1990 trip to Europe will be of
interest to those readers who would like to follow some of the
technical and non-technical trends in Europe. The purposes of
the trip were to:
Visit ETH, Zurich and to give a seminar there on the
differential equation solvers VODE and VODPK, which
were written by Peter Brown, Alan Hindmarsh, and me.
Visit the Konrad Zuse Zentrum in West Berlin and to
speak there about recent work with VODPK.
Attend and participate in the Vienna Scientific
Computing Conference, which was in the honor of Hans
Stetter on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.
Attend and participate in the 1990 Numerical ODE
(ordinary differential equation) Conference at the
Helsinki (Finland) Technical University.
Of course, there were less technical reasons for this particular
trip to primarily German speaking Europe. I wanted to see first
hand the changes, to get a sense of their potential impact, and
to visit family friends near Bonn. To prepare for this I had
taken a few lessons in German, which were very helpful. Except
for the trip from Vienna to Helsinki, my travel was by train, on
which, quite logically, German was the usual language.
Zurich
Zurich is a compact, clean city in a beautiful setting of a
valley surrounded by low mountains and the city, a lake and river
in the valley. During my June 5-8 visit to ETH (Eidgenoessische
Technische Hochschule, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich) had several visitors from the U.S. Paul Saylor and Bob
Skeel both from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana were
there. Bob was visiting Paul on his way to the conference in
Vienna and Paul was there for the summer at the invitation of
Walter Gander. Bob and Paul are interested in iterative linear
algebraic methods in the setting of stiff ODE solvers. Some of
the technical work at the Applied Mathematics Seminar involves a
parallel implementation of waveform relaxation. The latter work
is being done by Bert Pohl, a student of Rolf Jeltsch. Rolf was
my host and now occupies the chair formerly associated with the
late Peter Henrici. Rolf struck me as being interested in
long-term developments, good access to the computer network from
workstations, and as having the kind of rapport with his students
that would be envied by many American professors. In Zurich, I
was determined to try to use my limited knowledge of German. My
attempts led to conversations with some very marvelous people and
made the trip more enjoyable. It was my first adventure in
laguagae immersion with no alternative. It was well worth the
effort.
West Berlin
At the Konrad Zuse Zentrum - Berlin (ZIB) the recent changes
in East-West relations were quite obvious. About half of my
audience had come over from East Berlin. In the city itself,
there were many people from Eastern Europe shopping and traveling
around the city by bus.
Peter Deuflhard, the President of ZIB and my host, indicated
that activities at ZIB include work on multilevel methods,
theoretical and practical studies of Broyden-like methods and
their significance in iterative methods in linear algebra,
reacting chemical systems (including 1-D and 2-D combustion)
and, of course, extrapolation methods for ODEs. Symbolic comput-
ing is also an area represented by a high level of interest.
Peter provided me with the opportunity to talk with Ulli Nowak
and several other members of the technical staff about mutual
interests. At the time of my visit, June 11 - 13, Berlin was
still divided and there were but two border crossing points for
Americans - Checkpoint Charlie and Friedrichstrasse. The border
no man's land was apparent to even the most casual observer. The
contrast between East and West Berlin was perhaps more striking
than an East German had told me it would be. In the East,
quality of the automobiles was poor and they gave off strange
sounds and a stench, the apartment complexes were stark, and
lines were evident. West Berlin was clean and gave off an eerie
feeling, perhaps from its long-term isolation. There were some
reminders of the devastation of World War II, as well as post war
prosperity. My growing, but limited German vocabulary was very
helpful in Berlin.
Vienna
The Vienna Conference on Scientific Computing was
well-organized and had about 100 participants representing from
20 countries and featured over 60 papers, all contributed. This
conference was held June 14 - 16 and its central themes included
Runge-Kutta methods for ODEs, DAEs (differential-algebraic
equations), and software issues. Owing to the number of days of
the conference and the number of papers, there were usually two
parallel sessions throughout the day.
Some of the events associated with the conference reflected
Hans Stetter's stature and the Viennese culture. The opening of
the conference included speeches recalling Hans' accomplishments
and his several roles in his field of study, the University, the
city of Vienna, and Austria. Several bouquets of flowers were
presented to Frau Stetter, a charming, gracious lady.
The biggest surprise for me was the reception at the Vienna
City Hall. The ballroom was lighted by two very large crystal
chandeliers and was decorated with coats of arms associated with
Austria. A representative of the mayor of Vienna gave a speech
both welcoming the international contingent and the importance of
some of Hans' work. John Butcher gave a very nice, serious
speech recounting some of Hans's technical accomplishment and
indicating his international influence. The speeches were
followed by an exceptionally good buffet dinner and American jazz
played by a three piece combo. Some of us enjoyed dancing to the
good music and in the motion picture-like setting. In short, the
reception was a far cry from bad beer in a plastic cup and
waiting for a chance to leave graciously. It should be noted
that it started punctually and ended punctually, as one might
guess.
There was also a tour of Stift Melk, a beautiful abbey on
the Danube and some of the nearby historic villages. The chapel
in Stift Melk had been recently rennovated and was breathtaking.
In one village, Richard the Lionhearted had been held for ransom
after one of the Crusades. The tour was concluded with a visit
to a Heuriger, a Viennese wine house that sells its own new wine,
serves hearty rural food, features folk music, and a very happy
atmosphere. At this party, it was my privilege to recall some of
the humorous aspects of the 30 or so years that I have known
Hans. Hans in turn had the crowd sing Happy Birthday to me,
since the party was on my own birthday. It was a marvelous way
to celebrate a birthday. Hans Prochaska of Hewlett Packard and
his wife were the host and hostess for this party, which was
sponsored by H-P.
Vienna is charming and beautiful. It is very easy to get
around the city by public transit. The architecture is varied
and beautiful and ranges from an ultra modern all glass building
to historic St. Stephen's cathedral, which is just across the
square. Vienna is clearly a crossroads, as can be attested by
the many languages spoken on its streets and in the shops. It is
hardly a surprise that many Europeans rank Vienna high on their
list of vacation spots or that its palaces are so frequently
visited.
The organizers for the Vienna conference were Christoph
Ueberhuber, Richard Weiss, and their colleagues from the Technical
University of Vienna. It was well very well done.
Helsinki
The 1990 Conference on the Numerical Solution of Ordinary
Differential Equations had a strong representation from both
Eastern and Western Europe, reflecting Finland's international
position. During this June 18 - 22 conference, there were about
85 presentations in three categories: invited, highlighted, and
contributed. The invited speakers were:
John Butcher
Ernst Hairer
S. Yu Pilyugin
Florian Potra
and
Bob Russell.
The highlighted speakers were:
Rudolf Scherer
R. P. Fedorenko
K. F. B. M. Kraaijevanger
Moody Chu
Klaus Ulrich
Robert Corless
Roger Alexander
Kevin Burrage
Des Higham
and
George Byrne.
The themes of this conference also included Runge-Kutta-type
methods, and DAEs. Not surprisingly, another of the themes was
{
waveform relaxation (also known as Picard-Lindelof iteration).
Others were boundary value problems, continuation, control
problems, and a good dose of classical analysis. As last year in
Britain, the large number of papers on Runge-Kutta methods and
DAEs was agaom evident.
Olavi Nevanlinna was the conference organizer with strong
support from Ben Leimkuhler and others from the Technical
University of Helsinki.
Some non-technical highlights were a Finnish sauna evening
and a tour. A sauna is an experience that is hard to describe,
worth trying once (at least), and a social event that is
remarkable. Before the sauna, I asked a desk clerk what I needed
for a sauna -- swim trunks, perhaps. Her reply was, "Well, I
suppose you could take the towel from your room." After the
fact, a Swedish colleague said that the Finns do it all wrong by
having separate sauna cabins for the men and for the women.
Our tour included a visit to Fiskars, the home of the
cutlery firm whose scissors and knives are respected by
housekeepers throughout the world. The visit to that village was
followed by dinner at a Baltic inlet and coffee at outdoor
restaurants. Finland reminded me very much of the lake country
in Northern Minnesota -- pine trees, stands of birch, clean air,
and lots of water.
On June 22, quite a few of us attended the midsummer's night
festival on a small island in Helsinki's harbor. There were
people demonstrating crafts, good sausages, and the annual
bonfire made of old canoes and small evergreen trees, with songs
and a ceremonial wedding. Perhaps most striking was the 10
kilometer walk back to the campus in the bright midnight
twilight. A fitting way to say farewell to a hospitable country.
General Comments, Observations, and Personal Opinions
I greatly believe in conferences and foreign travel and
recommend both. They are broadening, an interesting way to meet
people and to learn. The generosity and kindness of people is
generally underestimated and the experience of learning that is
well worth substantial effort. ^By way of an example, some East
and West Berliners in my train compartment gave me beverage, a
thick cheese sandwich, and chocolate for lunch, although three
was a dining car on the train. We joked in a mix of German and
English (with frequent references to my pocket dictionary and
phrase book). We spoke of the political changes, the U.S. and
shared a day of our lives. Yes, a smile and humor in good taste
can be contagious.| The conferences described above were run and
organized professionally, with grace, good humor, and no obvious
hitches.
It pleased me to see such strong representation from Eastern
Europe, especially in Finland. There was some good natured
joking between East and West and I was pleased to see for the
first time some correspondents of twenty or so years.
Most of the speakers at the conferences were sincere, gave
presentations much like one another, and believed that their work
is significant. They are unquestionably bright, articulate, and
interesting people. Yet some of the computational methods
proposed can not compete with existing methods, at least on
realistic problems. More than a few speakers tended to face the
projection screen while speaking, used view graphs that are
illegible in the first row of the audience, mumbled, spoke in a
monotone voice, read their presentations verbatim, or did not
seem interested in their own work. Moreover, a number of the
presenters assumed that the audience knew as much about some
isolated topic as they did and, as a consequence, lost much of
the audience in the first few minutes of the presentation. If in
our own specialties such observations can be made, how can we
expect to convey our techniques, methods, software, and ideas to
a broader user audience? How can we convince funding agencies
and politicians that our field is important? Why do we expect
others to follow us in our field of endeavor? How can we
sincerely speak about education and classroom performance? The
above in no way detracts from the effort of the speakers to
present their work in English, a difficult language, at best.
Precisely the same observations applied to the SIAM meeting in
Chicago!
I would like very much to see the introduction of awards for
best presentation at significant conferences. Technical
societies in other fields have done this for a long time. Now it
is time for us to do the same. If this is showmanship or public
relations, fine. Let's do it. If you would like to try a field
test, pick an arbitrary lecture at a large applied mathematics
conference, stand in the back, and watch the audience. Now,
estimate the percentage of the audience who are asleep, reading,
talking, or otherwise not following the presentation. The
results are usually astonishing.
