More specifically, if anyone is aware of references discussing element metrics (quantitative measures of the quality of a mesh), then this information would be greatly appreciated. I'm aware of a text entitled "Automatic mesh generation: application to finite element methods" by P.L. George, Wiley, 1991, but haven't been able to track down a copy. Can anyone make a recommendation for this book? Thanks in advance.

The English version is available as a pure ASCII text file via anonymous ftp from the computer nsc.liu.se (130.236.100.5) and is available in the directory pub/bibliotek as the file f77to90.txt. For information on the Russian edition please contact Yurij Shokin (shokin@ict.nsk.su) and for information on the Swedish version please contact Bo Einarsson (boein@nsc.liu.se). ------------------------------ From: Pat Worley Date: Wed, 8 Jun 94 14:53:20 EDT Subject: PICL 2.0 Now Available from Netlib PICL 2.0, the latest version of the Portable Instrumented Communication Library, is now available from netlib. PICL 2.0 represents a complete rewrite of the library, and includes significant new functionality. New documentation is in preparation. In the meantime, a summary of the new features is provided in the file picl2.commands. The original reference manual and user guide, a discussion of PICL programming models, and the report describing the new trace file format are also provided with the distribution. PLATFORMS: In this initial release PICL 2.0 source is provided for: 1) NX/2 - mpsim hypercube simulator, Intel iPSC/2, iPSC/860, DELTA (hostless only), Paragon/OSF, and Paragon/SUNMOS 2) VERTEX 3.0 - nCUBE/2 and nCUBE/2S 3) PVM 3.3 - sun and rs6000 A PVM/T3D port will be available in the near future, and other ports are in progress. FUTURE: The development of proposed standards like MPI and the popularity of PVM have decreased the need for low overhead compatibility libraries like PICL, but standardization in instrumentation interface is less advanced, and may never occur given the wide range of instrumentation requirements. PICL instrumentation has proved very useful in our work, and we expect to continue supporting and extending it by: 1) implementing PICL on top of MPI, retaining backward compatibility for existing PICL programs, and 2) supporting PICL-style instrumentation logic and the PICL instrumentation interface in MPI. This is a high priority item, and we expect to have something available in the near future. PVM: Using the PVM version of PICL on a network of workstations is useful in developing parallel codes to be run on MPP platforms, but the PICL message-passing interface and instrumentation logic were designed for efficiency on tightly coupled homogeneous message-passing systems. If the primary platform is the network, then the PVM instrumentation and visualization tools are more appropriate (and powerful). Note that commands setdata0 and getdata0 have been added to PICL to support correct execution on heterogeneous networks. setdata0 is used to inform PVM what datatype is being sent or received in subsequent send0 and recv0 calls. The length arguments in send0 and recv0 are still byte counts, and setdata0 is ignored in PVM on homogeneous networks and in the NX and VERTEX implementations. getdata0 returns the currently defined datatype. GETTING SOURCE: The PICL source code and documentation are available from the Netlib software repository. For instructions on how to obtain this material, send the following message to netlib@ornl.gov: send index from picl You can also use the xnetlib interface to netlib or use Mosaic with the world wide web address http://www.netlib.org/picl/index.html FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact Patrick Worley at worleyph@ornl.gov or (615) 574-3128. ------------------------------ From: Karsten M. Decker ` Date: Mon, 6 Jun 1994 09:08:53 --100 Subject: High Performance Fortran Workshop WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: High Performance Fortran (HPF) - Four-Day Workshop October 18 - 21, 1994 At the Swiss Scientific Computing Center, CSCS-ETHZ Manno (Ticino), Switzerland Applied Parallel Research (APR), in cooperation with the Swiss Scientific Computing Center (CSCS-ETHZ), offers a four-day workshop on High Performance Fortran (HPF). This will be an intensive training session with hands-on experience using APR's HPF compilation system, xhpf. Attendees are encouraged to prepare their own application codes for parallelization over a distributed memory workstation cluster during the workshop. This workshop will feature a programming tutorial on MPP systems and HPF, and offer an opportunity to gain experience parallelizing real Fortran applications using APR's newest parallelization tools. Ample time has been allocated to allow each attendee, working at their own pace and with the instructors and CSCS staff, to parallelize and evaluate real benchmark programs and their own application codes. CSCS will provide access to MPP systems on which to run parallelized codes. The instructors will be John Levesque and Richard Friedman of Applied Parallel Research. The workshop languages will be English and Fortran. Spaces in this workshop are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis. It is recommended that you reserve a place by contacting APR as soon as possible. The tuition fee for this four-day workshop will be $1500 US. A reduced fee of $1250 applies to organizations with active FORGE licenses. Full payment must be received at APR by September 16, 1994 to hold a place.

Habashi Director-Industry, CERCA THEME An international Workshop on Solution Techniques for Large-Scale CFD Problems seems topical and timely. The size and complexity of problems tackled today demand the efforts of interdisciplinary teams from engineering, physics, mathematics and computer science. These disciplines complement one another in defining appropriate models that are amenable to discretization on today's computers, algorithms that can be executed in reasonable turnaround times and strategies that take advantage of state-of-the-art computer architectures. Only when these elements are combined can one tackle the more challenging problems of CFD in academia and industry. The Workshop should be of considerable interest to engineers, scientists and researchers using and/or developing CFD methods for scientific and industrial applications. The Workshop is structured to promote interaction between attendees and lecturers. Discussion periods will follow presentations. POSTER SESSION In addition to the invited lectures, a Poster Session will be organized. Those wishing to participate should submit an abstract of up to 1,000 words by July 15, 1994, to: Dr. M.P.
