Since then the proposal has been presented and discussed at various meetings, comments have been received, and experience gained in using the Level 3 BLAS to code block-structured algorithms in Linear Algebra. As a result we have decided to make the a number of changes to the original proposal. To receive a hardcopy of the changes and of the revised report send a note to: dongarra@anl-mcs.arpa or Jack Dongarra Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, Illinois 60439 You can obtain a postscript copy of the update and report by sending a message to netlib@anl-mcs.arpa, in the message type: send update-notice from blas3 send paper-post from blas3 Jack ------------------------------ From: Alastair Spence <ma_as%ux63.bath.ac.uk@NSS.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK> Date: Wed, 25 May 88 15:04:56 BST Subject: JOB AT BATH, UK UNIVERSITY OF BATH, U.K. SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES LECTURESHIP IN COMPUTATIONAL APPLIED MATHEMATICS / NUMERICAL ANALYSIS Applications are invited for the above post which is available from 1st. September 1988 in the School of Mathematical Sciences. The present appointment is being made in the Mathematics Group, which includes pure and applied mathematics, control theory and numerical analysis. It is expected that the successful candidate will be working in numerical analysis or in some area of computational applied mathematics, which should be interpreted broadly. Current research in numerical analysis includes numerical methods for nonlinear and bifurcation problems, and for boundary integral equations arising from partial differential equations. Recently an interest in parallel algorithms has been developing, in particular, their application in semiconductor device modelling. Current research in applied mathematics includes numerical studies of electromagnetic, acoustic and elastodynamic wave scattering, and bifurcation phenomena associated with capillary-gravity waves. To support our activity in these and other areas we have applied for funds to purchase a MEIKO Computing Surface and related software which would provide us with a transputer based parallel computing environment. Only a person of proven research record or recognisable research potential will be considered for this position. The new lecturer will be expected to develop independent research and to play an active role in the research activities in the School. At the beginning the teaching load will be commensurate with age and experience. Salary scale is currently 9,260-19,310 UK pounds. Candidates seeking further information may telephone John Willis (Bath 826241) or John Toland (Bath 826188) or contact Alastair Spence via Email (na.spence@score.stanford.edu (NANET) OR ma_as@uk.ac.bath.ux63 (JANET)) CLOSING DATE: 17th June 1988.

The European Centre for Research and Training in Scientific Computation (CERFACS) in Toulouse, France is continuing to expand. A call for candidates to join CERFACS at or around September 1988 at either the post-doctorate or post-graduate level has just been made. The PhD grant (initially for two years) is 8700 FFr net per month, and the post-doctorate grant (annually renewable) is for 12000 FFr net per month. The cost of living in the Toulouse region is fairly low and, depending on one's tastes, it should be possible to live fairly well on these salaries. As is usual in these announcements, there is not much time before the deadline for receipt of applications. At least a strong indication of interest should be made to CERFACS, 42 Ave G Coriolis, 31057 Toulouse Cedex, France. (Tel +33-61-07-96-96, FAX +33-61-07-96-13, Telex 521888F) before June 15th, preferably including a CV and an indication of the main interests of the candidate. e-mail can also be sent to me (at na.duff@score.stanford.edu) although I would prefer if you simultaneously sent the same communication directly to CERFACS. There are now four teams at CERFACS, the original ones in parallel algorithm development and numerical computation, instability and turbulence, and aerodynamic flows, and a new one in visualization methods for computational fluid mechanics. Currently the main machine in the Centre is an ETA-10P, although there is good access to an IBM 3090/VF (currently 4 processor .. to be upgraded to six), a 4-processor CRAY-2, and a CRAY X-MP. An Alliant FX/80 (8 processors) and a Gould NP1 (2 processors) will be installed at the Centre in June, and a hypercube is planned for delivery in September/October. There are also possibilities of funding visits from more senior researchers. It is easiest if interested parties contact me directly.

(enright@csri.toronto.edu or krj@csri.toronto.edu) The Conference. Currently we have scheduled five 50-minute invited lectures and sixty-two 30-minute contributed talks at "The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs (Initial-Value Problems) for ODEs (Ordinary Differential Equations)" to be held 20-24 June 1988 in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. In addition, there will be ample time for informal discussion with colleagues at the meeting. The invited speakers are: J. C. Butcher, P. Deuflhard, J. Dormand and P. J. Prince, C. W. Gear and L. F. Shampine. (Regrettably, the other two invited speakers, R. Jeltsch and S. P. Norsett, are not able to attend.) The programme for the conference is listed below. Abstracts for all talks will be distributed at the meeting. In a preliminary conference announcement, we stated that no other form of publication is planned for this meeting. However, this has since changed. Speakers at the conference have the option of submitting a paper on the topic of their talk to a special issue of the SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing. (Note that it is not mandatory for speakers to contribute a paper to SISSC.) Contributed papers will be refereed according to the usual SIAM procedures, although we will attempt to expedite the review process. To submit a paper for the special issue, give your manuscript to one of the conference organizers at the meeting. The deadline for submitting a manuscript is 24 June 1988, the last day of the conference. To facilitate travel arrangements, the conference will close at noon of the final day. The language of the conference will be English. There will be several other large conferences in Toronto -- including the Economic Summit -- at the same time as our meeting. Therefore, if you have not already reserved accommodation for the conference, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. The final date for submitting a paper to the conference has long past. However, if you wish to attend the conference but have not yet registered, please print, complete and mail to one of the conference organizers (by regular post -- NOT E-MAIL) the conference registration form below along with your registration fee. Alternatively, you may register at the conference. Also included below is a form to reserve residence accommodation at Whitney Hall -- please print, complete and mail this together with your deposit directly to Whitney Hall -- NOT to the conference organizers. Alternatively, instructions for reserving a room at The Delta Chelsea Inn are provided below. The Conference Location. The site of the conference is the University's downtown (St. George) campus. All technical sessions will be held in the Sandford Fleming Building (sometimes called the Sandford Fleming Laboratory), 10 King's College Rd., at the south end of the campus. The main lecture room for the conference is SF1105 on the main floor, east side of the Sandford Fleming Building. Those of you staying in residence accommodation will be housed in Whitney Hall, 85 St. George St., located about 100 meters north of the Sandford Fleming Building. The Delta Chelsea Inn is about a kilometer east of the Sandford Fleming Building at 33 Gerrard St. W. A map showing the locations of all these buildings is available upon request. Toronto. Those of you who have not been in Toronto recently will notice many exciting changes. The cosmopolitan flavour of the city is reflected in the thriving Chinese, Italian, Greek and West Indian communities, to mention only a few. The city has an excellent reputation for fine international cuisine. There is a wide variety of restaurants suiting every taste and pocketbook, from elegant dining rooms to fast-food deli counters. For avid walkers, there are many pleasant strolls around the campus and the numerous parks and gardens nearby in the city. Sites worth seeing include the Royal Ontario Museum, the McLaughlin Planetarium, the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (all on the east side of the University campus), the Art Gallery of Ontario (a few blocks south of the campus), Harbourfront and Ontario Place (both on the lakeshore), The Science Centre (a few kilometers north-east of the campus), as well as the McMichael Canadian Collection (art of "The Group of Seven") and the internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Toronto Zoo (both on the outskirts of Metropolitan Toronto). And of course, there are many shops and boutiques close to the University campus. In addition, Niagara Falls is about 130 km south-west of Toronto; the Shaw Festival Theatre is located a short drive from the Falls in the historic and picturesque town of Niagara-On-The-Lake; and the Shakespearean Festival Theatre is located in Stratford, Ontario, about 150 km west of Toronto. More information about the city and the surrounding areas will be included in your conference registration package. The average high for Toronto in mid June is about 25C (78F), the average low about 15C (59F), with inclement weather being uncommon. However, the temperature is quite variable at this time of year, and may be considerably warmer or cooler than these averages suggest. On-Site Registration. The on-site registration for the meeting will take place in the Atrium outside room SF1105 on the main floor, east side of the Sandford Fleming Building on Sunday, June 19, from 19:30 to 21:00, Monday, June 20, from 8:15 to 9:00, and every other morning of the conference from 8:30 to 9:00. In addition to registration on the Sunday evening, there will be an informal gathering with light refreshments for conference participants and their guests in the Atrium of the Sandford Fleming Building. If you have registered for the conference, but are not able to come, please inform us of this -- particularly if you have submitted a paper -- so that we can remove your name from the programme. We will refund your conference registration fee if informed before June 10 of your inability to attend the conference. Contact Whitney Hall or the Delta Chelsea Inn directly for a refund of your room deposit. Transportation. Both the University campus and the Delta Chelsea Inn are about a half-hour drive from the Lester B. Pearson International Airport. Taxi or Airport-Limousine fare to either is about $25-30 (Cdn), independent of the number of passengers in the vehicle. Alternatively, there is frequent bus service (every 20 minutes from 5:25 to 22:45) from the airport to the downtown hotels, including the Delta Chelsea Inn. The cost per person is $7.50 (Cdn) one-way or $12.50 (Cdn) return. Unfortunately, there is no direct bus service between the airport and the University campus. You could, though, o+ take the airport bus to the the Delta Chelsea Inn, o+ walk a block north from the Inn to College Street, o+ walk or take the street-car west about a kilometer to St. George St., o+ and then walk about 100 meters north on St. George St. to Whitney Hall. Alternatively, you could o+ take an airport bus to the Islington Subway Station, o+ take the subway east to the St. George Subway Station, o+ and then walk about 200 meters south on St. George St. to Whitney Hall. The second alternative is cheaper -- $4.00 (Cdn) one-way or $6.50 return for the airport bus; both the subway and the streetcar cost $1.05 (Cdn) for a single ride or eight tickets or tokens (each good for one ride) for $7 (Cdn). However, the bus service to the Islington Subway Station is less frequent -- about every 40 minutes from 7:00 to 00:30. By the way, there are 24-hour money exchanges in the Toronto airport; I believe they offer competitive rates. Please circulate this announcement to interested colleagues. ===================================================================== Tentative Programme for The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs If you notice any errors in the tentative programme or if your travel plans prevent you from being able to speak when we have scheduled you, please let us know as soon as possible.
