Subject: Linux BLAS for Intel Architecture
Linux BLAS are now available for Intel Pentium Pro and Pentium II
processors at http://www.cs.utk.edu/~ghenry/distrib. This html site will
act as a distribution mechanism for the work done on the Intel ASCI Option
Red Supercomputer at SNL that could be useful and easily ported to Linux-based
workstations. This will include the BLAS, FFTs, general utilities and
packages/libraries, and library support for Extended Precision Arithmetic.
This is not an "official Intel" release, hence it is not on an Intel web-site,
but the libraries there were built and tuned for the Intel architecture.
Please feel free to grab as much of this free software as you desire,

Subject: Searching for PLOD Package
I'm making an inquiry for a person outside my institution who apparently
doesn't have ready Internet access. He found a description of a program
called 'Plod' in IEEE Micro for August 1988 (title: 'Mathematical Software:
Plod'), and is looking for the code. It's described as a package for the
solution of systems of first order initial-value ODE's, using a simple
language for the description of a system, which is then translated to
Fortran code and solved with optional graphic output. (This sort of thing
has been done in commercial packages, of course, but he's looking for
something free, or so I believe). He sent me a copy of the article; it
doesn't say where to get the source but gives David Kahaner as a contact.
(He could even be reading this.) Before I pester Kahaner personally, I'd
like to try this list.
I did searches on 'plod' at <http://gams.cam.nist.gov/> and at
<http://www.netlib.org/>, with no luck. As I explained to the searcher, the
program may have evolved into something else in 10 years, or perhaps he
should search for software based on his problem description and not on a
specific package name. Still, if the package code is still available, it
might be useful for him as a starting point.

Subject: Subsystem Modeling and Estimation
Question: Literature on subsystem modeling/parameter estimation
Suppose you have a complex system consisting of interacting subsystems,
each with an approximate model depending on unknown parameters.
>From measurements at the whole system in different states, you wish
to obtain information to improve the component models qualitatively,
that is, find out which of the subsystem models are "good" or "poor"
and, if possible, get hints "how" the poor models should be modified.
The interactions are known accurately and the models are sufficiently
smooth to perform gradient-based parameter estimation (Gauss-Newton).
Reasonable "nominal" subsystem parameters are also known. Of course,
estimating the whole parameter set, then fixing the nominal parameters
of each subsystem and estimating the remaining ones, yields different
residuals and thus information on "good" or "poor". Also, the Lagrange
multipliers of the fixing conditions give local sensitivity information.
Does anybody know about theoretical or practical work on this issue,
or alternative approaches? Every hint is greatly welcome.

Subject: Workshop on Object Oriented Methods for Scientific Computing
SIAM Workshop on Object Oriented Methods for Inter-operable Scientific
and Engineering Computing
October 21-23, 1998
IBM Research
Yorktown Heights, New York
Background:
There is a growing awareness in the universities, and industrial
and governmental labs, that object oriented methods have the potential
for greatly improving the usefulness of computers in science and
engineering. There are already many efforts underway to redesign and
reimplement large codes that were written in the 70's and 80's to take
advantage of the improvement in maintainability and flexibility that
OO designs offer.
There still remains a large opportunity to improve the amount of reuse
within the community. Repositories such as Netlib and indices like
GAMS have improved our ability to share code, but making the shared
code useful requires widespread agreement about how the code is
structured and how scientific and engineering codes should
interoperate.
The world is changing. It used to be that large companies had their
own internal development teams, which implemented techniques from the
open literature or developed their own proprietary methods.
University researchers looked for methods for new classes of problems,
and pushed the limits of problem size. Software companies provided
application packages aimed at solving common problems, bundled
with everything from front-ends, to mesh generation and back-ends.
Now, as many large companies are cutting back on in-house software
development, universities and government labs seem to be doing increasingly
more software development and software vendors are springing up to provide
special purpose codes.
What are the new roles for academics, software companies, and industry?
Can a university department support a software product? How does a
company test and fire-harden research code? How can software
companies quickly incorporate new methods into a professional quality
product? Who owns what, and who supports what?
This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together representatives from
academia, software vendors, industry, and government labs, to identify
current and future challenges to implementing and using mathematical
algorithms in scientific and engineering computing.<p>
Organizing Committee:
Mike Henderson, IBM Research
Chris Anderson, UCLA
Steve Lyons, Mobil Technology Co.
Presentations:
The workshop will consist of 3 days of contributed and invited
presentations and discussions including, not not limited to, the
broad topics of:
The current state of the art.
- Tools that work together well (or poorly).
- The environments in which codes are used.
- How new techniques make their way to industrial use.
Developing interoperable scientific codes.
- Packaging codes.
- Balancing interoperability with performance.
- Maintenance and ownership of codes.
Future directions.
- Language of the future.
- Design techniques.
- Standards for the interoperation of mathematical software?
Case studies, position papers proposing topics for discussion, and
technical talks describing particular approaches are solicited.
The organizers are looking for a broad spectrum of participants,
including those involved in the development of industrial codes,
and industrial end users.
How to Contribute:
A report will be issued covering the workshop. Participants will be
required to submit a document for inclusion in this report.
Those wishing to participate should submit an abstract of a
case study, position paper or technical talk by July 1, 1998.
Abstracts should be sent to mhender@watson.ibm.com.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent by July 30, 1998.
Important Dates to Remember:
July 1, 1998, deadline for submission of extended abstract.
July 30, 1998, notification of acceptance.
August 31 1998, deadline for submission of final paper.

Subject: Positions at University of Leicester
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
University of Leicester, UK
Recently, we posted details on NA-NET of 2 positions on Computer Science
available at Leicester. That posting consisted of the standard information
distributed about the positions. What was probably not clear from these details
was that (a) Leicester has a strong research group in numerical analysis, and
(b) there is already considerable collaboration between the computer science
and the numerical analysis research groups. One of the target areas for one
of the appointments is parallel computing.
I would encourage people who have a research interest in parallel computing
related to numerical analysis to consider applying. The lectureships are both
grade A/B on the UK scale: GBP 16,045 -- 27,985.

Our teaching is mainly in Swedish and the candidate should speak and
write Swedish or learn these facilities within half a year.
Assistant professor ("forskarassistent") (Ref no 51/98)
At least four positions as assistant professor will be filled. These
positions are limited to four years. There will be a large demand for
teachers also in the future and it is expected that the assistant
professors will have gained the competence required for the
appointment to a permanent position at the end of the four year
period.
By taking part in research and supervision of graduate students,
assistant professors are expected to develop their ability to
formulate research problems, lead projects, work in a resarch group,
and also to develop and prove their teaching skills. Applications
from young researchers with strong potential are favored. The
assistant professors will do half-time teaching and half-time
research.
To be appointed to a position as assistant professor you must have a
PhD and be a good teacher.
Application
The application should contain a short review in English of the
teaching experience and scientific work as well as other merits that
are referred to. Teaching and scientific records as well as other
merits that are considered most important should be indentified.
Teaching merits need to be verified. The complete application
including scientific publications should be prepared in three
identical packages.
