Subject: Approximate Minimum Degree Algorithm
The AMD algorithm is a new variant of the minimum degree ordering method for
sparse matrices, based on a cheap-to-compute bound on the degree of nodes in
the quotient graph. We've just placed 6 variants of the AMD routine (but not
AMD itself) in NETLIB (linalg/amd) and on my home page
(http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~davis, also includes a tech report). The 6 codes
differ only in how they compute the degree or its upper bound, so that
different degrees can be compared in a consistent framework. These include:
Routine Method
AMDBAR our bound on the external degree. Computes an ordering of
the same quality as the best minimum degree ordering codes.
Asymptotically faster, and usually faster in practice.
AMDHAT the bound on the external degree used in MATLAB's symmmd
and colmmd routines. Usually as fast, or faster, than AMDBAR,
but tends to compute worse orderings.
AMDHAF a combination of AMDHAT and AMDEXA. Somewhat slower than
AMDBAR, can sometimes produce worse orderings than AMDBAR.
AMDATR our bound on the true degree.
AMDEXA the exact external degree, as used in MMD, for example.
AMDTRU the exact true degree, as used in MA27, for example.
For the last two methods, the leading "A" (for "Approximate") is actually a mis-
nomer, since they don't use approximations. Licensing restrictions apply.
The method is described in "An approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm,"
SIAM J. Matrix Analysis and Applications (to appear), by Patrick Amestoy,
Tim Davis, and Iain Duff. The AMD routine itself (similar to AMDBAR but
better) is intended to appear as MC47B/BD in the next release of the Harwell
Subroutine Library.

Subject: Economic and Financial Data Available
Dear colleague;
You may wish to post the following message to NA-NET:
I have the entire U.S. National Income and Product Accounts, Input- Output
tables, state and metro area employment and income, and Flow of Funds and
other Federal Reserve data, on diskette in spreadsheet format-- I reformatted
the raw government data into tables that I could work with more easily for my
own research. If anyone is interested in avoiding this hassle and obtaining
my data, respond to this message and include your e-mail address, and I'll
send you more information.
The data is in delimited text files with table titles and series descriptions
included, and it can be opened and edited with any spreadsheet, statistical,
or word processing program. For the cost of a diskette and mailing I will
send you a demo diskette of quarterly current dollar and chain-weighted real
GDP, GDP by type of product, and GDP by sector for the U.S., 1959Q1 to
1995Q3. This is the BEA's controversial new data that lowers the growth rate
when compared to the old fixed-weight real GDP.
If you don't mind waiting a couple of months, I plan to set up an FTP site
and provide the GDP data there for free, along with other frequently used
data- I'll post another message when it's ready. Thanks again for your
interest.

Euro-Par is THE annual European conference in Parallel Processing. It merges
the former PARLE and CONPAR-VAPP conferences, two major events of the field.
The 1996 version will consist of a large panel of highly focused workshops on
all aspects of parallel processing, from theory to practice, from academy to
industry. They are expected to present the latest advances in their respective
domains. They will be introduced by several high level tutorials of general
interest. More than 20 workshops have been launched in parallel, ranging from
1/2 to 2 days. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.
Workshop #07:
Parallel Numerical Algorithms
The basis for most computational work in science and engineering are robust and
efficient implementations of numerical algorithms. It is the aim of this
workshop to study the design, development, and implementation of such
algorithms on parallel architectures.
Naturally there is much work and software for the solution of linear systems,
both dense and sparse, but we are interested to attract papers and discussion
in other areas of linear algebra (for example, eigenvalue and SVD
calculations) and in other areas of parallel numerical computation, for example
solving nonlinear systems, differential and integral equations, quadrature,
mathematical transformations (e.g. FFT, wavelet transforms), and
number-theoretical methods. We welcome contributions that reflect
actual parallel computational models.
Topics of interest include:
Dense and sparse systems of algebraic equations
Dense and sparse eigenproblems
Matrix operations
Mathematical transformations (e.g. FFT, wavelet transforms)
SVD computations
Optimization techniques
Number-theoretical computing
Differential equations

Subject: Workshop on Parallel BLAS and Related Interfaces
We are organizing a workshop on February 19th and 20th, 1996 in
Nashville to begin a forum for parallel and sparse BLAS.
This will be a follow-up to the discussions that took place
on November 13th and 14th when 52 people attended a Workshop on
Parallel BLAS and Related Interfaces at the University of Tennessee,
and the Birds Of a Feather session that took place at the San Diego
Supercomputer 95 meeting in December.
The existing BLAS have proven to be very effective in assisting portable,
efficient software for sequential and some of the current class
of high-performance computers. We would like to investigate the
possibility of extending the currently accepted standards to provide
greater coverage of sparse matrices and provide additional facilities
for parallel computing.
The purposes of this meeting is to review the findings of the Workshop
in November and the BOF at the Supercomputer 95 conference; and to
begin a forum to develop calling sequences for a set of low-level
computational kernels for the parallel and sequential settings,
as well as standards for basic matrix data structures, both dense and sparse.
