A R Mitchell Fund
The 1991 Dundee Numerical Analysis Conference celebrated the 70th birthday
of A R Mitchell. In addition to his distinguished contributions to
numerical analysis extending over many years, Ron has been known for the
outstanding encouragement he has given to young numerical analysts and the
Organizing Committee therefore felt it appropriate to mark his birthday by
instituting a special fund to provide assistance to young numerical analysts
to attend Dundee meetings.
There are no formal means of applying for support from the fund but the
organisers welcome enquiries from anyone who feels that they may be
eligible. Allocation of funds will be made on the basis of need, and also
on the basis of abstracts of papers intended for presentation at the
conference.
We would like to thank those who have contributed generously to this fund
and we again appeal to colleagues for contributions. Cheques should be made
payable to "The University of Dundee: A R Mitchell Fund".

Two Year Position available
as a
Visiting Postdoctoral Research Engineer
at the
Computer Science Division
University of California at Berkeley
An HPCC/NASA-funded postdoctoral position in scientific computing is
available to support work on parallelizing an Earth Systems Model, a
model of the earth's climate, including coupled models of atmospheric
dynamics, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry and ocean dynamics.
It is the only model of its kind, and will be used for studies of ozone
depletion and other global climate changes over future decades. This is
a collaborative effort among atmospheric, oceanic, geophysical and computer
scientists at
Colorado State (Randall)
JPL (Halpern)
Lawrence Livermore (Wuebbles, Dannevik)
Princeton (Philander)
UC Berkeley (Demmel, Stonebraker),
UCLA (Arakawa, Mechoso, Neelin, Turco)
UCSB (Dozier)
At Berkeley, Prof. Demmel is responsible for parallelizing the atmospheric
chemistry model developed by Turco at UCLA, and integrating the four numerical
models; this is the activity for which the position is available.
Prof. Stonebraker is responsible for the database (this activity is also
known as the Sequoia project). At Berkeley we have our own CM-5, and have
remote access to whatever parallel processors we will need.
This position will largely involve implementation, testing and measurement of
large codes on a variety of parallel machines, but initially the CM-5. The
ideal candidate would have a recent PhD in Computer Science or Numerical
Analysis, have significant parallel programming experience in scientific
computing, have a background in numerical methods, and enjoy interacting
with scientists in other disciplines. The candidate should have a committment
to building working software on computers not known for their friendly
programming environments in order to help understand one of today's most
important scientific problems: understanding global climate change.
Applications are invited from well-qualified candidates who might not
formally meet all these requirement.
This appointment is for two years, with a possible one-year extension to be
determined later, starting as soon as possible after February 1993.
Applications should be sent to

The Twelvth Parallel Circus
The Twelfth Parallel Circus was held on October 30-31 at the North
Carolina Supercomputer Center. The Parallel Circus is an informal
meeting, with the program planned on the morning of the first day.
Many long-time attendees of the Circus commented that this was the
``best Circus ever'' in terms of organization and quality of the
presentations. A most enjoyable time was had by all. Many thanks
to the organizers, Tim Kelley, Bruce Loftis, Bob Plemmons and Gene
Golub, with special thanks to moderator Gene Golub and to local
host Bruce Loftis at the supercomputing center.
The talks were primarily concerned with ``parallel numerical algorithms''
and ``parallel software and hardware performance.'' Some speakers have
provided abstracts of their presentations and these are given in an appendix.
Many thanks to Chuck Baldwin, whose preliminary report appears (with some
minor editing) in the section below.
Summary of Presentations
------------------------
Friday started out with a number of talks related to eigenvalues.
The first, entitled ``Parallel Eigensolvers Based on Homotopy Continuation''
was given by Zhonggang Zeng from Northern Illinois. This talk focused on
using ODE methods to compute eigenvalues of an unknown matrix from those of
a closely related matrix whose eigenvalues are either known or easily
computed.
The second talk of the day was by Charles Fulton of the Florida Institute
of Technology and was titled ``Parallel Computation of Spectral Density
Functions for Sturm-Liouville Problems.'' This talk described a package
called SLEDGE - Sturm-Liouville Estimates Determined by Global Errors --
and it's implementation on an Intel iPSC/860.
Gary Howell, also of the FIT, next discussed ``An Adapted Bandwidth
Algorithm for Stable* Reduction to (Near) Tridiagonal Form.'' His talk
focused on using Gaussian Transforms to obtain solutions to Sylvesters
Equation, AX + XB = C.
Fourth up was a talk by Kevin Gates from ETH on ``A Rank-Two Divide
and Conquer Algorithm for the Symmetric Tridiagonal Eigenvalue Problem.''
He presented the basics of an algorithm similar to Cuppen's algorithm,
but is based on rank two updates. Numerical comparisons of several
algorithms were given and show the new algorithm to be competitive.
``A Homotopy Method for Solving Riccati Equations on a Shared Memory
Parallel Computer'' by Dragan Zlgic of Virginia Tech was next up. This
work was also concerned with using Homotopy methods for finding eigenvalues
of a matrix by using a related matrix and solving the Riccati equations,
AX + XA^T - XX + R = 0.
Christopher Sprenger presented a two part talk entitled ``Parallel
QR/Sciddle: A System for Asynchronous Remote Procedure Call''.
Gong Chen was next with a talk titled ``A Highly Parallel Algorithm
for Hessenberg Reduction.'' This talk described work done on an Intel
iPSC/860 to find methods for reducing matrices to Hessenburg form by
partitioning schemes suited to distributed memory type machines and
follows work done by Dongarra and van de Geijn.
George Pitts next gave a talk titled ``Strategies for Parallelizing
PDE software.'' This work investigated using Explicit Parallelization,
Automatic Parallelization, and a mixture of the two. Performance-critical
``kernel'' routines are hand coded and applied to various routines from
ELLPACK.
``Parallel Direct Solution of Indefinite Systems of PDEs Discretized with
Finite Element/Spectral Methods'' by Reza Mehrabi of MIT was next up. Here
a crystal growth program was ported to the iPSC/860 which used direct methods
along with nested bisection in 2D to obtain Finite Element solutions.
``A New Family of Preconditioners for Domain Decomposition'' by Mo Mu
of Purdue was next up. This work involved using rational functions as
preconditioners for elliptic problems with two different regions in 2D.
Victor Eijkhout of Tennessee was next with ``Observations about
Distributed Iterative Methods.'' This work described work done on
parallelizing iterative solvers on distributed memory machines and gives
a new variant of CG which reduces synchronization effects.
``Parallel Evaluation of Rational Matrix Functions'' was presented
by Lothar Reichel of Kent State. This presentation was on joint work
with Stratis and D. Calvetti. The work utilizes Partial Fraction
Representations to solve problems derived from elliptic operators and
considers some problems and possible solutions which involve poles which
are close in the partial fraction representation.
The last talk of the day was ``PYRROS: Static Scheduling and Code
Generation for Parallel Programs'' by the ETH group in Switzerland.
This was an overview of the PYRROS project and included discussions of
how PYRROS maps tasks to processors and schedules those tasks.
During the day (Friday) we had a tour of the North Carolina Supercomputer
Center in which we were introduced to the new 32 processor Kendall Square
machine at NCSC. The new machine utilizes a ring topology and, with
multiple rings scales to 1088 processors. The machine is up and running,
but some refinement to the software environment is in progress.
Saturday was a short day and involved several software related topics.
The morning started out with ``Prototyping Parallel Algorithms'' by Lars
Nylend of UNC Chapel Hill. This talk detailed a system called Proteus
which is a language for parallel programming with specific attention paid
to data parallelism, and loosely synchronous parallel execution - an
example program of the N body problem was given.
``Scheduling Regular and Irregular Computations on the CM-5'' by Rajeev
Thakur was up next. This describes an algorithms for global communications
on the CM-5 with superior performance.
Next on the schedule was ``A Proximal Based Decomposition Method
for Convex Minimization'' by Gong Chen of Maryland. This involved using the
fact that convex minimization was equivalent to solving a mini-max problem
via a new method that the authors are developing.
``Component Analysis Based on Serial Results for Analyzing Parallel
Iterative Performances'' by Shu-Mei Richman of the University of Virginia
was next. This was an investigation of GMRES and BiCG based on parameters
usually involved in iterative methods (Preconditioning methods, residual
tolerance, problem size, number of processors).
``Distributing Symbolic Computations'' was next given by Todd Torgersen
of Wake Forest. An overview of ALTS - a system for distributing symbolic
computations was given.
``Improvement of Communications Bandwidth Using the Forced Message Type''
by Xinglai Zhuang of Mississippi State was next. This involved a study of
various global communication operations using two different methodologies
on the Intel iPSC/860.
The program continues with ``Solving Large Systems of Linear Equations
using Asynchronous Iterations on Distributed MIMD Computers'' by J. Nieplocha
of the University of Alabama. This was a overview of issues which regularly
come up in asynchronous communications on MIMD computers such as communication
load, convergence of an algorithm, and load balancing.
Robert White of NC State next gave a talk on general issues related to
parallelizing grand challenge codes, the convection-diffusion type equation
was used as an example.
``A Parallel Algorithm to Calculate Smooth Boundary Conditions for a Domain
Decomposition Method'' by Kelly Black of NC State was up next. This talk
examined using Chebyschev Collocation on parabolic problems with interfaces
on the interior of a region.
``Orbit Prediction on Parallel Computers'' by Beny Neta of the Naval
Postgraduate School was next on the hit parade. This was a talk of using
an Intel iPSC to develop more parallel algorithms for accurately predict
orbits.
Last was Roldan Pozo of the University of Tennessee with ``Object
Oriented Scalable Linear Algebra in C++''. This was a talk of work done
in connection with the LAPACK project to have an object oriented
version available soon and how it could be of use to people.
