Subject: Draft book on high-performance dense linear algebra libraries
As part of the Formal Linear Algebra Methods Environment (FLAME) project
at UT-Austin, we have been preparing a manuscript
Robert van de Geijn and Enrique Quintana. "The Science of Programming
Matrix Operations"
In this book, we attempt to show that the high-performance
implementation of dense linear algebra operations can be made systematic
to the point where it the techniques are accessible to novices. Given
that these techniques are being used to build the FLAME library, with
performance that rivals the best libraries available, the book should
also be of interest to experts.
The project has proceeded to the point where we need some people to take
the book and the associated materials for a testdrive. At UT I am using
it for a course on high-performance linear algebra libraries and we
would like to interact with a few instructors of similar courses, at the
undergraduate or graduate level. Additional exercises and tutorials
will be added to the webpage as the semester unfolds.

Computational Methods with Applications
Harrachov 2007
August 19 - 25, 2007, Harrachov, Czech Republic
http://www.cs.cas.cz/~harrachov
Following two highly successful meetings in Milovy, Czech Republic in
the years 1997 and 2002, The Institute of Computer Science, Academy of
Sciences of the Czech Republic will organize
from August 19th to 25th, 2007
the third meeting under the name HARRACHOV 2007. We wish to continue
the tradition of meetings on computational linear algebra in Central
Europe, to follow the high spirit and the friendly and stimulating
atmosphere of the previous meetings. In particular, we wish to combine
an intense scientific program based on the well-balanced choice of
excellent invited plenary talks given by distinguished scientists of
all ages, complemented by parallel sessions of contributed talks, with
a sufficiently long afternoon breaks which allows ample time for
discussion and interaction among participants. The program will be
planned for full five days Monday through Friday (arrival on Sunday,
departure Saturday morning), with the Thursday afternoon and Friday
devoted to lectures of the special joint event,
The 7th GAMM Workshop on Applied and Numerical Linear Algebra,
coorganized with GAMM (Gesellschaft fuer Angewandte Mathematik und
Mechanik). The previous workshops took place in Berlin (2001),
Bielefeld (2002), Braunschweig (2003) and Hagen (2004), with the
coming one to be held in Dresden (2005).
Scientific Program:
The meeting will traditionally concentrate on computational methods,
namely on methods of numerical linear algebra, their (parallel)
implementation and applications in different areas of science,
engineering and technology. Since a considerable part of such
applications arise from numerical solution of partial differential
equations, we will support interactions between our fields by
continuing our partnership with the series of meetings ALGORITMY,
which started at the last meeting ALGORITMY 2005 in Podbanske, 17th in
that series, March 13 - 18, 2005. The Scientific Program of HARRACHOV
2007 will therefore be prepared also in collaboration with the Faculty
of Civil Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.

Subject: Postdoctoral position at CEMAGREF (France)
Postdoctoral position: Numerical modeling of the interactions between vadose
zone hydrology and shallow water-table fluctuations, including hysteresis and
dynamic effects.
Applications are invited for a 18-months postdoctoral position at
Cemagref (http://www.cemagref.fr) in partnership with the Ecole
Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (http://www.enpc.fr).
This position is offered as the outcome of the Cooperative Research
Action DYNAS funded by INRIA
(http://www-rocq.inria.fr/estime/DYNAS/). The project aimed at
developing software tools using physically-based models and robust
numerical methods to simulate the dynamics of shallow water-tables in
variably saturated porous media.
Vadose (or unsaturated) zone has been identified as one of the most
complex parts of the hydrologic cycle. In particular, the transition
domain between unsaturated and saturated (water-table) regions of the
soil profile is a highly sensitive zone for water and solutes
transport from the top soil to the ground water. Sometimes defined as
the “Capillary Fringe”, this domain is subjected to
high-frequency variable conditions such as wetting-drying
cycles. These variations impact significantly the vadose zone
hydrology especially when the water-table is close to soil surface and
is likely to fluctuate. This situation is very common in near-stream
humid areas or in artificially subsurface drained systems.
The postdoctoral research will pursue the following objectives :
- Review the appropriate literature to define a precise numerical
modeling strategy;
- Contribute to integrate hysteresis and dynamic effects in numerical codes of
Cemagref and/or Cermics/ENPC.
- Define test-cases to benchmark the various numerical tools;
- Investigate, numerically, the impacts of hysteresis and dynamic effects for
various soil types and transient boundary (and initial) conditions;
- If possible, calibrate and validate the model(s) with existing experimental
data from lab experiments;
- Write a couple of scientific articles, to be submitted to
high-ranking journals.
The candidate should have, or receive shortly, a Ph.D. in the field of applied
mathematics, scientific computing, or computational fluid dynamics and a
relevant experience in computer programming. A background in the modeling of
subsurface flows or connected physical processes is advisable.
The position will be for 18 months starting in January or February 2006. The
postdoctoral fellowship is approximately 1800/month net and includes basic
health insurance. The candidate will be located at the Cemagref HBAN Research
Unit, in Antony, 15 km south from Paris, and will interact frequently with the
Cermics and Cereve laboratories on ENPC Campus in Marne la Vallée (20 km east
from Paris).
Candidates should submit by e-mail (pdf format preferred) or by post a cover
letter in support of the application, a curriculum vitae with a list of
publications, one to three publications, and name and addresses of 3
references.
The material should be sent by October 15th 2005 to

POSTDOCS AT MINNESOTA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUASICONTINUUM METHODS
We are seeking outstanding postdocs to work at the University of Minnesota
with a team led by Richard James, Mitchell Luskin, and Ellad Tadmor on the
development of a state-of-the-art multiscale method based on hybrid ab initio
and quasicontinuum techniques (http://www.qcmethod.com/).
There are opportunities for postdocs to work on the theoretical development
and mathematical analysis of the quasicontinuum method, algorithm and code
development, and physics applications related to the design of new advanced
materials.
We welcome the application of candidates with expertise in any
mathematical, scientific, or engineering discipline who have a strong
commitment to research on multiscale methods for the design of novel
materials. Familiarity with multiscale techniques is an advantage, but
not a prerequisite for application.
Our project team is working closely with collaborators at the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory and the University of California, San Diego.
The research is supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Science.
The positions are available immediately. Applications will be considered
until the positions are filled. Interested individuals should send a
a CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and arrange three
letters of recommendation to be sent to multi@umn.edu.
