Subject: Freely Distributable LIBM
Dr. K-C Ng has developed a new version of libm that is the basis for
the bundled /usr/lib/libm.so in Solaris 2.3 for SPARC and for future
Solaris 2 releases for x86 and PowerPC. It provides the standard
functions necessary to pass the usual test suites.
This new libm can be configured to handle exceptions in accordance with
various language standards or in the spirit of IEEE 754.
The C source code should be portable to any IEEE 754 system with minimal
difficulty.
fdlibm contains no additional functions
beyond those required by various standards;
the additional functions that used to be part of Sun libm
will be distributed in a new library libsunmath.a that will
be shipped with the unbundled SunPro compilers.
In the interest of elevating the minimum acceptable level of quality in
math libraries, SunPro has decided to make K-C's work freely distributable
subject only to the restriction that its origin be acknowledged:
/* @(#)fdlibm.h 5.1 93/09/24 */

Subject: New book, Numerical Hamiltonian Problems
The book NUMERICAL HAMILTONIAN PROBLEMS by J.M. Sanz-Serna
and M.P. Calvo is now available. It is published by Chapman
and Hall, London and has xii+207 pages.
The purpose of the book is to present a unified introduction
to the interdisciplinary and growing field of symplectic
integration of Hamiltonian problems.. It includes five
preliminary chapters on Hamiltonian problems and numerical
methods, so that little background knowledge should be
required. Numerical examples are provided throughout.

RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED COMPUTER SCIENCE
(RIACS)
NASA Ames Research Center
Moffett Field, California
The Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS) at the NASA
Ames Research Center, located in the San Francisco Bay area adjacent to
Silicon Valley, is inviting applications for visiting research positions
for visiting faculty, graduate students and advanced undergraduates for
the summer of '94 and for post-doctoral appointments of up to two years
beginning in the fall of '94. We are also inviting application for
sabbatical visits of University faculty during the academic year 94-95.
Summer student visitors must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.
RIACS carries out a basic research program in the computational sciences
to support the needs of NASA Ames scientific missions. Specific areas of
interest are: algorithms and software for parallel scientific computation
with applications to computational fluid dynamics, adaptive and composite
mesh methods for solving partial differential equations, the design and
implementation of compilers and tools for parallel computers, and the
analysis of high performance networks.
The computing environment at NASA Ames Research Center includes a Connection
Machine (CM-5), an Intel Paragon, a Cray Y-MP and a Cray-2. High performance
graphics workstations are also available. Visitors to RIACS are expected
to collaborate with NASA Ames scientists. Additional opportunities for
collaboration abound with the many local research Universities and
Institutions.
Applicants should send resumes, descriptions of research interests, and
names and addresses of three references to contact. Please return to:
