Subject: Spanish Science and Technology Prize to J.M. Sanz-Serna
March 3rd it was announced that J.M. Sanz-Serna is the winner of the
Third IBERDROLA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Prize
given annually to a Spanish researcher for contributions enriching
physics, chemistry, mathematics, or engineering. The selection of the winner
was made by an international committee that included three Nobel prize winners.
The award includes 12 million pesetas for the winner and a grant of
2 million pesetas to enable a student to start work on a research project
supervised by the winner. (Iberdrola is an electric power company of
Spain.)
Sanz-Serna works on stability and long-time behavior of numerical solutions of
ordinary and partial differential equations, especially Hamiltonian systems,
and, for example, has contributed heavily to a theory for symplectic methods of
general applicability.

Subject: Quad Versus 80-bit Arithmetic
I am conducting a survey of those people who need more precision than
provided by IEEE double precision. I would appreciate any insight you
might have from your PERSONAL experience. (We've got lots of hearsay
evidence; I want something admissable in court.)
1. Is your need met by a 64-bit mantissa?
2. If you need more than 64 bits in the mantissa, how many more do you
need?
3. How important is the performance of the extra precision part of
your code?
4. At what ratio of performance to double precision would you consider
using higher precision more often - never, only if the performance
were the same as double precision, 2x slower, 10x slower, up to
100x slower (e.g., I can't do without it)?
A brief, 100 words or less, summary of your application, why more
precision is needed, and where the extra precision is needed (if not
throughout) would be appreciated.
If I get enough responses, I'll post a summary.

Subject: InterCom Release R2.0.0 for Paragon
It is our pleasure to announce the second release of the
Interprocessor Collective Communications (InterCom) Library, iCC
release R2.0.0. This library is the result of an ongoing
collaboration between David Payne (Intel SSD), `Lance Shuler (Sandia
National Laboratories), Robert van de Geijn (University of Texas at
Austin), and Jerrell Watts (California Institute of Technology),
funded by the Intel Research Council, and Intel SSD. Other
collaborators on this project have included Mike Barnett (University
of Idaho), Satya Gupta (Intel SSD), Prasenjit Mitra (now with Oracle)
and Rik Littlefield (PNL).
The library implements a comprehensive approach to collective
communication. The results are best summarized by the following
performance table, representative of improvements obtained on a 16 X
32 Paragon, running under R1.2 of the O/S, with iCC R2.0.0:
vector NX InterCom ratio
Operation length (sec) (sec) (NX/InterCom)
_________________________________________________________________
Broadcast 8 bytes 0.0017 0.0014 1.21

to all 64K bytes 0.3780 0.0195 19.35
1M bytes 5.9353 0.1791 33.15
Similar, or better, improvement is obtained under OSF R1.3, iCC
R2.0.0. Attaining the improvement in performance is as easy as
linking in a library that automatically translates NX collective
communication calls to iCC calls. Furthermore, the iCC library gives
additional functionality like scatter and gather operations, and more
general "gopf" combine operations. As had been planned, an MPI-like
group interface to iCC is now also available.

Subject: Linear Hyperbolic Systems of PDE's
Dear NA-Neters,
I am interested in references (books, articles, reports..) to any theoretical
result about linear hyperbolic systems of PDE's like
E.dW/dt + A1.dW/dx1 + A2.dW/dx2+...+An.dW/dxn = 0
where W is the unknown vector of functions of t and x=(x1,...,xn), E,
A1, ... An are square matrices.
My purpose is to collect any information about the solutions (existence,
uniqueness for the Cauchy problem...) especially in a weak sense (in the space
of distributions for example) and/or when the coefficients E, Ai are non smooth
functions of t and x. I will first consider the free space, with no boundary
conditions (in space).
Yours,

Subject: JOSTLE - Unstructed Mesh Partitioning Software
We would like to announce the release of the JOSTLE software package
for partitioning unstructured meshes for use on distributed memory
parallel computers. Executables of the software are freely available
for academic and research purposes, but interested users are required
to sign a licencing agreement.
The code is designed to partition unstructed meshes (for example,
finite element or finite volume meshes) and can also be used to
repartition existing partitions (such as those deriving from adaptive
refined meshes).
You can get a copy of the licence either via the WWW from
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~wc06/jostle/licence.ps.gz
or I can email you a (gzipped uuencoded postscript) copy or I can put
a hardcopy in the post. Although the licence may seem a bit stringent,
its purpose is to prevent resale or commercial exploitation.
We strongly want to encourage the use of the software, however, and
would be keen to work on collaborations, etc. We are also interested
in supporting commercial exploitation, although under different licencing
arrangements. Send the completed licence to me and I will mail you
a copy of the package.
Executables are available for various machines including Suns
(SPARC compiler), Suns (sun4 compiler), Silicon Graphics Indigo and IBM
RS6000. Please let me know which version(s) you require (you can have
more than one under the same licence).
You can find out more about the underlying algorithms from the technical
report:
C. Walshaw, M. Cross, and M. Everett.
A Parallelisable Algorithm for Optimising Unstructured Mesh Partitions.
The paper can be obtained via WWW from the URL:
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~wc06/papers/ps/Walshaw95.ps.gz
although if you have any difficulty in obtaining it, I'll be happy
to send you a copy, either by post or electronically.
Two other papers on the same topic and with further results are:--
C. Walshaw, M. Cross, S. Johnson, and M. Everett.
A Parallelisable Algorithm for Partitioning Unstructured Meshes.

Subject: Special Issue on Parallelism and Irregularly Structured Problems
CALL FOR PAPERS
THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE JOURNAL
Special Issue on
PARALLELISM AND IRREGULARLY STRUCTURED PROBLEMS
Extensive research has been carried out concerning different ways for
the automatic extraction of parallelism of several problems. Acceptable
solutions have been found to many problems but others still lack efficient
and automatic methods for their solution and remain open to research in
parallel algorithms. Among this latter category, we can often recognize
irregularly structured problems that resist both automatic and manual
parallelization.
Aiming to foster research in this challenging domain, the journal
Theoretical Computer Science} is planning the publication of a special
issue on Parallelism and Irregularly Structured Problems before the
end of 1995.
Papers describing original results and high quality survey papers are
solicited in all areas related to parallelism and irregular problems,
such as (non-exhaustive):
* approximated algorithms
* automatic synthesis
* branch and bound
* combinatorial optimization
* compiling
* computer vision
* computational molecular biology
* load balancing
* parallel data structures
* randomized methods
* sparse matrix computation
* scheduling and mapping
* symbolic computation
Papers will be carefully refereed to meet the high standard of publication
of Theoretical Computer Science.
Contributions must be submitted in 6 copies and reach one of the editors at
the addresses below before March 31st, 1995.
