Subject: Random Number Generators
Parallel Random Number Generator Library
We are happy to announce the Beta release of SPRNG: a Scalable
Parallel Random Number Generator Library. (It can be used for the usual
serial random number generation too.)
These libraries are callable from C, C++, and FORTRAN programs. We
have ported the generator to the following machines: Cray T3E, Convex
Exemplar, SGI Power Challenge array, Origin 2000, IBM SP2, HP and SUN
workstations, PC (Linux). It should be easy for users to port it to
other machines too.
We have also included a test suite. The five random number generators
included in our library have been subjected to some of the largest
unclassified random number tests ever performed, with up to 10^12
random numbers in certain tests.
Please see our home page:

Preliminary announcement
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON
NUMERICAL METHODS FOR PARTIAL
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Marrakech, Morocco
September 7--11, 1998
We are intending to organize an international congress on numerical methods
for partial differential equations in Marrakech, Morocco. All the
numerical aspects related to the subject will be covered: finite differences,
finite elements, spectral methods, multigrids, multilevel methods,
nonlinear Galerkin methods and inertial manifolds, solution of systems of
linear equations, preconditioning, etc. We are in the process of contacting
invited speakers.
Participants will be accomodated in a 4 star hotel comparable to the best
European or American hotels. A special reduced price has been negotiated
(around 70 USD a day for full board or even less). Registration fees will be
kept low.
Marrakech can be reached by plane from Casablanca (one hour). Casablanca
has direct connections to major European cities and to New York and Montreal.
In September,the weather in Marrakech is very nice and not too hot (27
degrees Celsius) and the congress could be combined with a visit of other
places in Morocco such as Ouarzazate at the doors of the desert, the Atlas,
Rabat (4 and a half hours by train), Fez or Meknes.
Those interested in participating have to send a message for preliminary
registration as soon as possible to
marrak@lma.univ-littoral.fr

Subject: Two Research Positions at the University of Tennessee
Positions available at the University of Tennessee
in Parallel Numerical Linear Algebra and
in Parallel and Distributed Computing
Parallel Numerical Linear Algebra
A research position is available in parallel scientific computing at
the University of Tennessee. The research will include development
of parallel numerical linear algebra algorithms and of scalable parallel
libraries. This position offers an exceptional opportunity for innovative
research in scientific computing on advanced architectures, and will involve
participation in collaborative projects such as the ScaLAPACK effort,
http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/ and the Center for Research on Parallel
Computation, http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/.
Candidates must have a PhD in computer science, mathematics, or a
related discipline. Expertise in parallel computing and object oriented
programming is required, and expertise in scientific computing is highly
desirable. A strong research capability in numerical methods, with
emphasis on numerical linear algebra techniques for solving large-scale
problems, is essential.
The position is for a period of one year, and will be renewable subject to
availability of funds and satisfactory performance. Additional benefits of
the position include a competitive salary, travel opportunities, access to
state-of-the-art computational facilities (including both parallel
architectures and high-performance workstations), and collaborative research
opportunities in an active research program in advanced scientific computing.
The position is available immediately. Applications will be accepted
until the position is filled.
Parallel and Distributed Computing
A postdoctoral research position is available in parallel and distributed
computing at the University of Tennessee. The University of Tennessee is
engaged in collaborative research projects to develop high level interfaces
for parallel programming on heterogeneous networks of computers. Among the
systems being developed are
NetSolve (http://www.cs.utk.edu/netsolve/),
SNIPE (http://www.cs.utk.edu/~fagg/SNIPE/), and
extensions to PVM (http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html).
These projects involve experimental research leading to the
development of software tools to support general purpose concurrent
computation over wide-area heterogeneous networks.
The position requires experience in parallel and network computing.
Familiarity with scientific computing and parallel architectures is
also desired. Benefits of the position include a competitive salary,
travel opportunities, access to state-of-the-art computational facilities
(including both parallel architectures and high-performance workstations),
and collaborative research opportunities in a very active research
program in advanced scientific computing.
Responsibilities include designing, prototyping, testing, maintaining, and
documenting computer systems related to network computing.
Inquiries should be directed to:
