JOB OPENINGS AT
ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY
The Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National
Laboratory is expanding its program in advanced computing research. This
program is aimed at developing algorithms, software, and programming tech-
niques for both numerical and symbolic computations on computers with
advanced architectures. Our research emphasizes two aspects:
1) fundamental computations for both numerical and symbolic work that can
be used as building blocks in modeling programs and specific applica-
tions; and
2) portability of the resulting algorithms, software, and programming
methodologies among a wide variety of parallel computers.
Among the current areas of activity are numerical linear algebra, numerical
optimization, numerical integration, partial differential equations, spe-
cial functions, automated reasoning systems, logic programming, and program
transformation systems.
In conjunction with this research program, we have established an
Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) that operates a variety of com-
puters with advanced architectures. By early 1986, the ACRF is expected to
have four or five parallel systems in place, including one with parallel-
vector capability, several shared-memory systems, and one with a hypercube
architecture.
There are several job opportunities in connection with the ACRF.
1) Permanent research staff members with research interests in algorithms
and software for computers with advanced architectures. Large-scale
scientific computing is an area of particular interest.
2) Permanent staff members to manage and operate the ACRF. People are
needed who have a strong background in scientific computing and an
interest in parallel computing. Their responsibilities will include
advising ACRF users on how to use the computers in the facility,
teaching short courses on parallel computing and ACRF services and
software, writing documentation, and providing local enhancements to
systems as needed to support our research activities. Knowledge of
UNIX (TM) is desirable.
3) Short and long term visitors with research interests in algorithms and
software for computers with advanced architectures. We are particu-
larly interested in visitors whose research interests are in areas
that could benefit our existing research projects. People who are
already active investigators in parallel computing research will be
given the highest priority.
