Subject: A Wonderful Report

Charlie Van Loan has written a wonderful report on recent developments
in matrix computations; it is entitled , "A Survey of Matrix
Computations."  The report would make an excellent basis for a course
or seminar. If you are interested in receiving a copy, send a msg to
Charlie (na.vanloan@na-net) and ask for a copy. I'm sure you'll find
it of interest.

Subject: Reciprocal Pythagorean Sums

Reciprocal Pythagorean sums,
                      1/sqrt(a*a + b*b)                       (*)
are needed in certain applications, eg for computing Givens rotations in linear
algebraic methods.  For Pythagorean sums, Moler and Morrison have presented 
an algorithm that is simple, robust, and portable.  Specifically, the
algorithm is attractive because it avoids range-reduction and overflow default
handling.  However, the approximation of (*) based on m iterations of the 
Moler-Morrison algorithm followed by reciprocation requires a total of 2m+1 
divisions.  For throughput intensive processors with no hardware division, 
this approach is too slow.  I was therefore led to the
PROBLEM: Find a division-free algorithm for reciprocal Pythagorean sums 
with similar properties to the Moler-Morrison procedure, namely, with fast
convergence and no range-reduction nor overflow/underflow for a "large" set of
pairs a,b of machine numbers (say IEEE standard 754 floating point).
I have tinkered with this deceptively simple problem and so far the best I have
for single precision accuracy is an approximation for 1/sqrt(c) using a 3rd 
degree polynomial approximation for the seed followed by one iteration of 
Olver's method on f(x)=1/x**2-c, at a cost of 9 mult-adds.  However, this 
approach (as well as the  usual division-free Newton-Raphson method for 1/sqrt) 
requires setting c=a*a + b*b followed by range reducing c to a small interval.
Does anyone know of better alternatives?

Subject: Query About Floating Point Models

As part of the Ada 9X effort we considering changes to the definition
of Ada floating point number representation.  We are looking at two
different models: the Brown model [1] and the LCAS model [2].  We are
informally soliciting comments on the following topics.

    1.) Is there any other floating point model which is likely
        to be a useful candidate for the Ada 9X standard?
    2.) Which of floating-point models deal best with the very
        important issues of portability and robustness?  In 
        particular, I am concerned here with the essential
        difference between the non-determinism of the Brown
        model and the determinism of the LCAS model.

We are inclined to favor the Brown model, in the interests of 
portability.  As even numerics tyros (like me) know, a major problem
with numeric computations is the whimsical nature of optimization
algorithms.  It is especially problematic to tell when operands will be in
extended precision registers and when they will be dumped to memory.
The attractive aspect of the Brown model is that the non-determinism
explicitly hides the optimization effects.  The more highly detemined
LCAS model requires that the numerical analyst know the optimizer's
algorithm completely.  This is not always possible, or even desirable,
as the algorithms may change and improve with different compiler releases.

The particular things I am interested in are:

    1.) Pointers to any other reasonable floating point models.
        Since we are working in an Ada framework, the models must
        be general enough to analyze IEEE floating point, but not
        be restricted to a single architecture.
    2.) References in the literature to analyses of numerical algorithms
        which use the floating-point model explicitly.  The only
        one I know of is the one in Brown's original paper.  I
        am certain there are more, but as I am not a numerical
        analyst by training I am not sure how or where to proceed.

Any help would be appreciated.

                    Peace,

Subject: First Annual Large Dense Linear System Survey

   THE FIRST ANNUAL LARGE DENSE LINEAR SYSTEM SURVEY

   Without realizing it, about a year ago, I initiated the 0th annual large
dense linear system survey here in NANET.  I've had so many requests
for a repeat survey that I decided to formalize the process by making it a
yearly event.  (My calendar file should remind me to repeat this next year.) 
I understand the NANET list has grown considerably since last time, so this
survey should reach many more people.
   By default, none of the information you supply will be anonymous, however
I will keep any information strictly confidential upon request.  
All of these questions relate to large DENSE linear systems.
Feel free to interject any comments between the lines, etc.
   Results will be tallied into a LaTeX paper and will be available by
anonymous FTP from math.berkeley.edu.

  I'm aware that aircraft manufacturers and supercomputing companies would be
most interested in these results, but might be reluctant to reveal their own

anonymous responses by surface mail even without return addresses and names.
I will guarantee anonymity in any case upon request.  Everyone will so benefit.
All I ask is that responses be truthful.

  I trust that the academics out there who are doing this will be more than 
happy to be forthcoming.

Subject: Request for Domain Decomposition Bibliography

Louise Perkins and Jeff Scroggs would like to request bibliographic
data on heterogeneous domain decomposition.  We are interested 
in papers that deal with domain decomposition techniques for the 
numerical solution of PDEs in which different modeling equations are 
used in different subdomains.

This data will be collected into a publicly available report (issued 
by ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center). 

In order that this database be manageable, we have the following request:

Format:     Bibliographic data should be in bibtex format.  A set of
            keywords is requested as part of the format.

Medium:     Email messages to Louise Perkins or Jeff Scroggs.

Date:       References for the first version should be in by April 5. 

Assistance: To assist with placing the data in bibtex 
            format, send a request to either of us for the C 
            program BIBINPUT.  This program will interactively 
            prompt you for the data, and produce a file with the 
            formatted entries.

Disclaimer: We are trying to keep this bibliography focused, hence
            submissions that do not obviously deal with heterogeneous
            domain decomposition will be eliminated.

Subject: Positions at Delft University of Tehcnology

Faculty and PH.D candidate positions available, Network Theory Section
(Microelectronics Group), Department of Electrical Engineering,
Delft University of Technology, Delft The Netherlands.

                  Junior Scientist Position
                            and
                   Ph.D. Candidate Position

In connection with the project Modeling and Determination of
Parasitics in Submicron VLSI Layouts at the Network Theory
Section of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Delft
University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, the above
mentioned positions are currently open.

The project aims at an advanced system for the modeling of
submicron IC interconnect structures.  The ongoing
miniaturization of IC's-0.5 micron feature size is quickly
becoming available-causes new design related problems.
Because of their minute dimensions, the circuit elements
behave differently.  One aspect of this changed behavior is
the relative increase of parasitic resistances, ground
capacitances and coupling capacitances.  An IC designer who
does not properly account for these effects runs the risk
that his design does not function as intended.  The problem
is especially severe in combined analog/digital (e.g.
BICMOS) circuits.

Not only are these parasitic effects becoming more
prominent, they are also becoming more difficult to
determine: traditional, heuristic methods are inadequate.
Instead, completely new methods are necessary to capture
these effects into suitable models.  The goal of the present
case project is to develop these methods and models.

TASK

You will be part of a team carrying out research to develop
such a modeling system.  You will build on the knowledge
available in the laboratory, as was developed in a precursor
project.  After a thorough study of those results, you will
extend the theory in order to come to a system capable of
delivering accurate (but not over-accurate) models that
enable designers to predict the crosstalk between different
subcircuits.  Relevant physical aspects are e.g.:

   + interconnect capacitances of non-planar structures,
   + capacitive effects of diffused conductors,
   + the resistive nature of the substrate.

The newly developed theory will lead towards a prototype
implementation in the Nelsis IC design system.

REQUIREMENTS

The positions can be characterized as multi-disciplinary:
electrical engineering, physics, linear algebra, numerical
mathematics and computer science are all relevant.
Applicants should have a grade in one of these disciplines,
preferably their education and/or experience shows a good
mix of these disciplines.  It is the intention that the
research will lead to dissertations.

NOTE

An appointment will be temporal with a duration of 4 years.

ANU Supercomputer Facility

Research Positions
Advanced Computational Mathematics Software Development

The ANU and Fujitsu Japan have established a large number of research
and development projects in advanced computing and its applications
under the general direction of the Centre for Information Science
Research at the University.  This Centre, established as part of a
strategic plan by the University to create a centre of international
standing, acts as a focus of advanced computing throughout the
University and brings together diverse groups in the Institute of
Advanced Studies and The Faculties involved in advanced computing
research and teaching.

The ANU has assembled one of the most powerful and broadly-based
advanced computing environments to be found in a university.  Advanced
computing resources at the ANU include a Fujitsu VP2000 vector
processor, a Connection Machine with 16K processors and a 128
processor Fujitsu AP1000.  Each machine is capable of peak speeds of
over 1 Gigaflops.

Two positions are now available in a new project to develop
state-of-the-art mathematical software for a parallel vector
processing environment.  Mathematicians with experience in algorithm
and software development are sought to join this project which is
under the direction of staff from the School of Mathematical Sciences
and the Computer Science Laboratory, Research School of Physical
Sciences and Engineering.  Appointees will be expected to interact
closely with these groups which are also engaged in the development of
algorithms and software for the experimental multi-processor AP1000
supercomputer.

These positions are centred on algorithm and software development for
the parallel models of the VP2000 series of vector processors.
Appointees will be required to work on software development for
eigenvalue problems or Fast Fourier Transforms.  Access to a
multi-processor VP2000 series machine will be made available.

Applicants should have a firm background in computational mathematics
and a higher degree in a scientific or mathematical discipline with
considerable research experience.  Less experienced and qualified
candidates may also be considered.  We are particularly seeking
computational mathematicians with an interest in eigenvalue problems
and FFTs.  Experience or a deep understanding of parallel or vector
processing or experience in software development would be very
advantageous.  The ability to complete projects on schedule is
essential.

The duration of the appointment will be initially for one year, but it
is hoped that funding will become available over a longer period.

Persons wishing to take the posts on secondment from other positions
are encouraged to apply.  Appropriate financial arrangements will be
made with the appointee's home institution in this case.

Other appointments will be normally made to an academic position in
the range of Post-doctoral Fellow ($28792-$32762) through to Senior
Research Fellow ($45729-$54255).  The level of appointment will
reflect the candidate's experience.

Further information is available from, Dr R Gingold, Phone: (06) 249

Professor R Brent (249 3329) or Professor M Osborne (249 4501).

Applications including curriculum vitae, list of publications and the
names and addresses (including Fax) of three referees should be
submitted in duplicate to The Registrar, The Australian National
University, GPO Box 4, Canberra ACT Australia 2601 by the closing date
April 15.  Post no. CISR 13.3.1
