Announcing SIAM Journals Online
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is
pleased to announce that its prestigious journals are now
available to subscribers via the Web. Beginning with the 1997
issues, the full text of articles from our 11 journals can be
accessed in three formats: PostScript, Adobe Acrobat PDF, and
DVI. As a special promotion for 1997, electronic subscriptions
are offered, upon request, at no additional charge to members and
institutions who subscribe to the 1997 print version.
Electronic-only subscriptions are available as well.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, SIAM was founded to advance the
application of mathematics to science and industry, promote
mathematical research, and provide media for the exchange of
information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, and
scientists. SIAM has grown from a few hundred members at its
inception in 1951 to over 9000 members today.

Subject: Convergence of Iterative Methods for Complex Symmetric Matrices
Dear NA-netters,
Most discussions of the convergence properties of stationary iterative
methods deal only with real matrices. In recent years a number of
applications have appeared that require the solution of a system of
linear equations in which the coefficient matrix is large, sparse, and
complex symmetric. What are the most general conditions that
guarantee convergence of a stationary iterative method (in particular
SOR) for a complex symmetric matrix?

Subject: New Book on Matrix Algorithms
I am currently writing a multivolume treatise entitled Matrix
Algorithms. The present Volume I is entitled Basic Decompositions. I
have recently rewritten the third chapter and completed a fourth.
They can be obtained by anonymous ftp from
thales.cs.umd.edu in pub/survey
or through my home page at
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~stewart/
The first two chapters contain introductory material from mathematics
and computer science and the third chapter is on Gaussian elimination.
The fourth chapter on the QR decomposition and least squares. A fifth
on rank determination will complete the volume. For more information
see the preface.
I am distributing the book in the hope that it will be helpful to
others and that others will be willing to help me with their comments
and corrections. Please feel free to make copies for your personal
use. However, if you want to make copies to distribute to a class,
please ask my permission (it will generally be forthcoming).

Morgan-Kaufmann Publishers has recently published my book
"Parallel Programming with MPI." It is an elementary introduction
to programming parallel systems that uses the MPI 1.1 library of
extensions to C and Fortran. It is intended for use by students and
professionals with some knowledge of programming for conventional,
single-processor systems, but who have little or no experience
programming multiprocessor systems. It is an extensive revision and
expansion of "A User's Guide to MPI".
Further information on the book can be obtained from my web page

Research Scientist Position at
the University of Tennessee
We have immediate openings for a RESEARCH SCIENTIST in the area of
PROGRAMMING TOOLS FOR PARALLEL COMPUTATION to support the Department
of Defense High Performance Computation Modernization Program. All
qualified researchers are invited to apply.
The goal of the DOD HPC Modernization Program (http://www.hpcm.dren.net/)
is to supply the DOD with world-class computing power for applications.
To this end, the DOD has formed the Programming Environment and
Training (PET) program, a coalition of universities to bring the best
available HPC techniques to bear on DOD problems. The Center for
Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC), headquartered at Rice
University, is leading the PET effort in the area of programming tools.
Responsibilities of the research scientist position are to interact
with HPC users, determine their needs, and supply appropriate software
tools and training to meet those needs. We view "tools" broadly,
including (but not limited to):
* Compilers
* Debuggers
* Performance analysis
* Scientific/math subroutine libraries
* Message-passing libraries
* Scalable input/output systems
* Problem Solving Environments
Depending on the precise needs found, the research scientist may
locate these tools (on the WWW, for example), evaluate tools, extend
some tools, and train users in applying the tools.
The position at the University of Tennessee will involve interaction
with established parallel tools research groups at the University
of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as frequent
trips to the DOD Major Shared Resource Centers (MSRCs) to visit customers,
and to other CRPC sites to consult with researchers.
The position requires a PhD in a computational field or equivalent
experience. The ideal candidate would have a CS degree and strong
experience in running scientific computations. Experience with
developing, evaluating, or using parallel programming tools is also
desired. The position requires either U.S. citizenship or permanent
U.S. residenc status.
