Subject: A Shell Program to Search the CML Directory
The enclosed "ams" is a simple shell program to search the CML directory. I
call this "ams" but any user can rename it either "cml" or "siam" or "maa" or
whatever other mathematical organization lies closer to her heart.
Unfortunately, during peak hours e-math.ams.com slows down so please try to
use it during quieter times. Enjoy...Paul
P.S. Please note that a less convenient "siamdb" is (or used to be) available

Subject: Tutorial on PVM and HeNCE in Lyngby, Denmark
Tutorial on PVM and HeNCE: Tools for Heterogeneous Network Computing
June 20, 1994 @ UNI*C, DTH, 2800 Lyngby, Denmark
This tutorial will cover methodologies and strategies for
concurrent computing on heterogeneous networks of independent
computer systems. We will begin with an overview of software
systems and tools that are available to support network-based
computing, and will describe several production applications to
demonstrate the effectiveness and viability of network computing.
We will devote the remainder of the course to PVM and HeNCE --
software systems that enable concurrent computing on heterogeneous
collections of multiprocessors, supercomputers, scalar machines, and
workstations.
PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is software infrastructure that
allows heterogeneous groups of machines to be used as a
general-purpose concurrent computing resource. We will focus on
concurrent applications for PVM, using several models of
parallelism.
HeNCE (Heterogeneous Network Computing Environment) is a graphical
toolkit and methodology that significantly eases the task of
application development for PVM. HeNCE is based on the notion that
concurrency can be expressed using a variant of directed acyclic
graphs, where vertices represent computation and arcs represent data
and control dependencies. We will describe HeNCE and illustrate its
use in graphicly assembling concurrent applications from simple
(sequential) building blocks.
This tutorial is intended for people interested in loosely coupled
concurrent computing. Application and systems developers in the
areas of large-scale scientific computing, heterogeneous systems,
and general purpose concurrent processing will benefit from the
material covered in this course.
The lectures assume a general knowledge of parallel processing and
networking.
The lecturers of the tutorial are Jack Dongarra, Al Geist and
Bjarne Stig Andersen. Jack Dongarra is a professor at the University
of Tennessee (Knoxville) and a computer scientist at the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. Al Geist is a computer scientist at the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory. Bjarne Stig Andersen is a computer
scientist at UNI*C (the Danish Computing Centre for Research and
Education).
The computer corporations Convex, Digital, Silicon Graphics and
IBM are going to install cluster workstations for the PVM and HeNCE
exercises and demonstrations.
Tutorial on PVM and HeNCE is organised the day before the Workshop
on Parallel Scientific Computing in Denmark.

Subject: Guide to Available Mathematical Software
The NIST Guide to Available Mathematical Software (GAMS) is now
available for public use on the Internet on an experimental basis.
GAMS is an on-line cross-index of mathematical and statistical
software available for use by staff of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST). Since some 9000 problem-solving
software modules from nearly 80 packages are indexed, external users
may find this information useful.
GAMS also operates as a virtual software repository, providing
distribution of abstracts, documentation, and source code of software
modules that it catalogs; however, rather than operate a physical
repository of its own, GAMS provides transparent access to multiple
repositories operated by others. Currently four repositories are
indexed, three within NIST, and netlib. Both public-domain and
proprietary software are indexed. Although source code of
proprietary software is not redistributed by GAMS, documentation and
example programs often are. The primary indexing mechanism is a
tree-structured taxonomy of mathematical and statistical problems
developed by the GAMS project.
Access to GAMS is available in a variety of ways.
o Local clients
Two user interfaces to the GAMS system are available : gams, a
simple command-line interface, and xgams a graphical user interface
based on the X11 window system. These programs run on your local
workstation, connecting (via TCP/IP socket-based communication) to
the GAMS server on gams.nist.gov to obtain user requested
information. Source and binary distributions of the clients for
Unix workstations can be obtained by anonymous FTP from
enh.nist.gov in the directory [.gams]. (Transfer the file README
first for further instructions.)
o Anonymous logins
The GAMS clients described above can be tried out using
public-access accounts at NIST. To do this, telnet to
gams.nist.gov, specifying the username gams for the command-line
interface, or xgams for the X11 graphical user interface. Only a
limited number of simultaneous logins are permitted.
o World Wide Web (Mosaic)
An HTTP-GAMS gateway providing access to most GAMS facilities for
users of the World Wide Web is also available. This can be
accessed using most WWW browsers, including Mosaic. To do so, open
the URL http://gams.nist.gov.
o Gopher
A gopher gateway to the anonymous GAMS logins is also provided. To
access this, connect to the default gopher server on
gams.nist.gov.

The Xerox Modeling Research & Technology area is seeking several
outstanding individuals with proven research and development records in
the practice and technology of mathematical modeling and scientific
computation for electro-mechanical design. The ideal candidate would
have a strong interest in both developing innovative models for current
design activities, and studying and developing technology for the
modeling process itself. Areas of interest may include computational
mathematics, new modeling paradigms, including declarative and/or
object-oriented modeling environments, geometric representation and
reasoning, abstraction and approximation methods, and multi-level,
mixed-mode simulation.
Candidates should have an M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering,
Physics, Computer Science, or related discipline and a very strong
research and/or development record in simulation and numerical methods.
Development and delivery of innovative applications and publication of
research results at the international level are both encouraged. Our
group investigates the practice and technology of modeling, simulation
and design for research, technology, and product development programs.
We work with the participants to develop new processes and computational
tools in order to foster increased concurrency, information reuse, and
more effective and widespread analytical engineering methods. This
requires a multi-disciplinary collection of highly talented and
motivated individuals with backgrounds drawn from computer science,
engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.
The positions offer exciting challenges, wide variety, and the potential
to have a significant impact. To apply, send resume and any additional
information (e.g., publications) to:
