Subject: Help on Block Jacobi Method for SVD
Hello,
I'm a DEA student of Grenoble and I'm doing a stage in the LMC laboratory.
I'm working on the SVD problem, and I would like to have some informations on
the block Jacobi method. More precisely, I can't find the computation of the
2*2 subproblem: compute Xij (a 2m/l*2m/l matrix) and Yij (a 2n/l*2n/l matrix),
where l is the number of blocks such that:
t [ Aii Aij ] [ Dii 0 ]
Xij [ ] Yij = [ ]
[ Aji Ajj ] [ 0 Djj ]
I know this is done in: Bishof & Van Loan "Computing the singular value
decomposition on a ring of array processors" (Large Scale Eigenvalue Problems,
Cullum & Willoughby eds, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1986, p.51-66);
but I can't find this article.
Maybe someone can help me?
Manuel Matencio.

Subject: RKTEC v2.1 Available
RKTEC version 2.1 is now available. This is an ANSI C program for
computing truncation error coefficients of Albrecht's error expansion
for Runge-Kutta formulas. Albrecht's expansion is equivalent to
Butcher's but uses a different basis of elementary differentials and
enjoys some advantages over the classical approach.
With version 2.1 a radial stability region "plotter" has been added,
making the tool more convenient for formula comparison. For formula
derivation a Maple version is in the works. Let me know if you're
interested in the Maple version. (If there is sufficient interest
I will devote more time to it.)
Version 2.1 should be available from Netlib shortly. At present it can
be obtained by anonymous ftp to math.niu.edu in pub/papers/Hosea or by
gopher to math.niu.edu in the "Hosea" directory under "Faculty
Publications". The ANSI C source code (rktec21.c) and an MS-DOS
executable (rktecexe.uue) are there as well as a couple of related
preprints.

I thought na-net readers might like to know of a public-domain
numerical computations package that I recently stumbled across. It's
called "Octave" and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General
Public License.
The program is similar in style to Matlab, using Gnuplot for graphical
output. The underlying numerical solvers used by the program are the
BLAS, LAPACK, LINPACK, ODEPACK etc
The latest released version of Octave is available via anonymous ftp
from ftp.che.utexas.edu in the directory /pub/octave. Complete source
and binaries for several popular systems are available.

Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) version 3.13
The latest Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) code and some related
(p)reprints can be retrieved via anonymous ftp from
ftp.alumni.caltech.edu [131.215.139.234] in the /pub/ingber directory.
A new OPTION now collects data during the global optimization process
to importance-sample the user's variables.
The latest version of ASA, ASA-x.y (x and y are version numbers), can
be obtained in several formats. ASA-shar.Z is a compress'd shar'd file
of the current code. For the convenience of users who do not have any
uncompress/gunzip utility, there is a file ASA-shar which is an
uncompress'd copy of ASA-shar.Z; if you do not have sh or shar, you
still can delete the first-column X's and separate the files at the
END_OF_FILE locations. There are tar'd versions in compress and gzip
format, ASA.tar.Z and ASA.tar.gz, respectively. There also is a
current zip'd version, ASA.zip, in which all files have been processed
through unix2dos. Directory /pub/ingber/0lower.dir contains links to
these files for some PC users who may have difficulty with upper case.
Sorry, I cannot assume the task of mailing out hardcopies of code or
papers. My volunteer time assisting people with their queries on my
codes and papers must be limited to electronic mail correspondence.
To get on or off the ASA_list e-mailings, just send an e-mail to
[email protected] with your request. Update notices are
sent to the ASA_list about every month or two, more frequently if
warranted, e.g., in cases of important bug fixes; these notices are the

Subject: Research Opportunities Parallelizing ASA and PATHINT
Research Opportunities Parallelizing ASA and PATHINT
I am looking for one to several people with experience parallelizing C
code, e.g., on Crays, to work on parallelizing two specific
algorithms: (a) Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA), and (b) an
algorithm to calculate the time-development of multi-variable nonlinear
Fokker-Planck-type systems, using a powerful non-Monte Carlo path
integral algorithm (PATHINT). Some code and papers dealing with these
algorithms can be obtained from ftp.alumni.caltech.edu
[131.215.139.234] in the /pub/ingber directory.
I am PI of an award of Cray time on an NSF Supercomputer, and have
ported these codes successfully onto a C90. However, I am short of
time to further optimize these codes, which is an essential requirement
before doing production runs on C90 and T3D Crays. If necessary, I
will do this work myself, but I would rather share the work,
experience, and research with other interested people who also can
expedite these projects. All code will remain under my copyright under
the GNU General Public License (GPL), i.e., the least restrictive
Library GPL.
There are several immediate projects that are just waiting for detailed
calculations, using codes which already run on SPARCstations, but need
the power of supercomputers for production runs. All results of these
studies will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and
only active participants on these projects will be co-authors on these
papers.
Examples of these projects include:
neuroscience
EEG correlates of behavioral states
short-term memory modeling
realistic chaos + noise modeling
financial applications
2- and 3-state term-structure security calculations
testing of trading rules
nonlinear modeling
persistence of chaos in the presence of moderate noise
If you are interested, please send me a short description of projects
you have worked on, and how many hours/week you are prepared to commit
to these projects for at least a period of 6-12 months.

Subject: Supercomputer in Bangalore
SCIENTIFIC SUPERCOMPUTING IN BANGALORE
A state-of-the-art supercomputer recently became operational in
Bangalore at the CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modelling and
Computer Simulation (C-MMACS). The system is an aircooled
supercomputer of the CONVEX C3800 series which is unique in its
use of advanced technology gallium arsenide gate arrays. The
system comprises of two CPUs, a main memory of 512 Mbytes and a
disk capacity of 34 GBytes. It is rated at 240 peak Mflops in 64-
bit and 480 peak Mflops in 32-bit computations. The C-MMACS
system has compilers which offer automatic interprocedural
optimisation, vectorisation and parallelisation. It also has a
powerful application visualisation system. The shared memory
vector processor architecture of the CONVEX supercomputer at C-
MMACS results in several advantages, namely, excellent
performance in large scientific problems which require
vectorisation, parallelisation and optimisation, availability of
proven mature compilers, and what is probably the most important
from the view point of users, extremely easy parallel
programming.
The CONVEX Computer Corporation, USA supplied the supercomputer
through WIPRO Infotech Ltd. The recent liberalisation of US
export control regulations made it possible to import this high
performance computer without any strings.
C-MMACS (pronounced see-max) was established by the Council of
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1988, with a view to
catalyzing, supporting, and strengthening the wide gamut of
scientific programmes in its laboratories. These programmes are
aimed at providing creative new approaches to the design and
analysis of complex systems through mathematical modelling and
computer simulation of their behavioural responses and evolving
structures. C-MMACS is located in the campus of the National
Aerospace Laboratories and it is headed by Dr.K.S.Yajnik. Its
primary objective is to develop and provide expertise and
facilities for modelling and simulation of a wide class of
natural and engineering systems that constitute the core of many
contemporary problems in science and technology. C-MMACS is
governed by a Management Committee under the chairmanship of
Prof. S.K. Joshi, Director General of CSIR.
Scientists at C-MMACS, National Aerospace Laboratories and
several other institutions, who have used the CONVEX
supercomputer at this centre, have found its performance and
capabilities highly satisfying - indeed exciting. They have
discovered that highly complex simulations in areas as widely
different as aerodynamics and molecular modelling, which require
massive computing, have now become possible in an acceptable
timeframe, thereby opening a new era of high-end scientific
computing in India.

MINISYMPOSIA
A minisymposia is a session of speakers focusing on a single topic. The
organizer of a minisympoisium invites the speakers and decides on the
topic they are to deliver. If you would like to organize a minisym-
posium, you must submit a proposal on an ICIAM 95 minisymposium form.
To obtain a form and guidelines for submitting a minisymposium proposal,
please send a message to:
E-mail: [email protected]
Fax: +49-941-943-4005
Deadline date for submission of minisymposium proposals: August 31, 1994
CONTRIBUTED PRESENTATIONS-LECTURES OR POSTERS
You are invited to submit a paper, which you may present in lecture or
poster format. Authors will have approximately 15 minutes for the
lecture, with additional 5 minutes for discussion. Alternatively they
may elect poster presentations, which allow interactive discussions with
individuals interested in their work.
If you like to present a paper (lecture or poster format), please submit
a summary on an ICIAM 95 contributed paper form.

Subject: Postdoc Position at INRIA
10-MONTH POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AT INRIA/IRISA
Scientific computing group
Rennes, France
Applications are called for a post-doctoral position at INRIA/IRISA
in parallel scientific computing. The position will be open
in September 1994 for 10 months.
This award is funded by a european grant (Human Capital and Mobility)
and is available ONLY for CITIZENS from the EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (CEE)
who are NOT FRENCH.
Applicants must have a Ph-D in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science
or a related field.
IRISA is a joint institute of INRIA-Rennes (the head is at Rocquencourt),
CNRS (associated laboratory), the University
(Computer Science department) and INSA (Computer Science department).
The group called "Advanced Algorithms for Scientific Computing"
studies numerical algorithms which should be both parallel and
numerically reliable. The domains of interest cover linear algebra
on sparse matrices and differential equations. Of special concern
are the projection methods using Krylov subspaces.
The algorithms are applied to large numerical simulations as
for example Computational Fluid Dynamics. The project is also
interested in programming environments for scientific computing.
The team is leaded by B. Philippe and is composed of about
10 persons.
The HCM contract is coordinated by the CERFACS (Toulouse, France)
and involves 9 institutes from France, Italy, GB, Switzerland,
Belgium, Sweden. It is entitled
"A modular approach to research in computational fluid dynamics,
iterative methods and high performance computing."
The IRISA (INRIA-Rennes) part is devoted to the application
of the Newton-GMRES algorithm to discretisations of the steady
Navier-Stokes equations as well as to implicit time-stepping
schemes. The procedure can be seen as an approximate Newton
algorithm which is matrix-free.
The candidate selected will work on this subject and related issues.
Salary : 14,764 French Francs per month (out of charges).
Applicants should send their CV, the names of 2 referees and a
brief description of research interests.
Applications will be considered until 15 JUIN 1994, along with
already received applications.
ONLY EUROPEAN CITIZENS FROM THE CEE WHO ARE NOT FRENCH ARE
ALLOWED TO APPLY.
Electronic submission is preferred. Letters should be addressed to

Subject: Addendum to V. 94, # 23
Hi all--
The NA Digest we sent out yesterday started off with a note about
SIAM's Ed Block, who is in the hospital. The SIAM office has
asked that we NOT call Ed at the number given in the note.
They say Ed would be very pleased to hear from all of his friends,
but only in writing for now.
Sorry, Ed. Get well soon. Hope to see you in San Diego next month.
