NA Digest Wednesday, August 5, 1987 Volume 87 : Issue 64 This weeks Editor: Cleve Moler Today's Topics: netlib Random Vortex Method Position at Cal Tech Program Director Position in Advanced Scientific Computing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To: na%score.stanford.edu@RELAY.CS.NET From: ehg%research.att.com@RELAY.CS.NET Date: Fri 31 Jul EDT 1987 08:20 Subject: netlib From-: research!ehg (Eric Grosse, 201-582-5828) To-: na@score.stanford.edu There have been rumors that netlib@anl-mcs was turned off while Jack Dongarra spent the summer in Europe. On the contrary, so far in July netlib has distributed over 85 megabytes of software. For some mysterious reason, mail from a few systems is not reaching anl-mcs.arpa. [Editor's insertion: I can confirm Eric's observation. The trouble is with mail getting to Argonne, not with netlib itself. For example, of the six possible two-way links made up from Dana, Stanford and Argonne, I can send mail to myself on five of them, but NOT from Dana to Argonne. The trouble has something to do with Internet addresses, and possibly with the old-fashioned '-' in 'anl-mcs'. Anybody who can shed some light on this, please send me (and Eric) mail. --Cleve ] Jim Van Zandt asked in na-digest/v87n63 whether netlib would accept contributions of muMATH source code. We would be happy to do so. If there are going to be a number of contributions, it might be better for Soft Warehouse or some other interested party to serve as the central distribution site. Whoever that might be: please contact me for details. ------------------------------ Date: 2 Aug 87 22:31:45 GMT From: kepler.Berkeley.EDU!majumdar@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (Arunava Majumdar) Subject: Random Vortex Method To: na@score.stanford.edu I have just taken course on Num. Ana. and the Random Vortex Method struck me as something very different, unique and rather useful in application to fluid dynamics. Does anyone know of any book or some collected papers regarding this method. I know there are some papers by Chorin and Sethian etc. but I would like to read some comprehensive treatise or monograph about how & why-it-works, its advantages and limitations, and its applications to various fields besides fluid dynamics. - Arun ------------------------------ To: na%score.stanford.edu@RELAY.CS.NET From: golub%research.att.com@RELAY.CS.NET Date: Mon 3 Aug EDT 1987 10:59 Original-To: na@score.stanford.edu Subject: Position at Cal Tech FACULTY POSITION IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Applied Mathematics program at Caltech invites applications for a tenure-track or possibly tenured appointment in the case of exceptionally well-qualified applicants. Applicants should submit a detailed curriculum vitae and list of publications with at least three letters of recommendation or the names of referees to Professor P. G. Saffman Applied Mathematics 217-50 California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA 91125 USA 818/356- 4560 ------------------------------ To: na@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU Subject: Program Director Position in Advanced Scientific Computing Date: Wed, 05 Aug 87 09:46:16 -0400 From: Melvyn Ciment <mciment@note.nsf.gov> The NSF Directorate for Computer and Information Science & Engineering (under Gordon Bell ) has formed a new program in Computational Science and Engineering that is currently being administered by Mel Ciment , Deputy Director, Division of Advanced Scientific Computing. The program is being directed to interface with the goals of the broader , more general NSF-wide Initiative in Computational Science & Engineering. The CISE/CSE Initiative will focus on supporting interdisciplinary research teams addressing issues of scientific computing that arise in large scale modelling in scientific and engineering applications including , but not limited to: novel computational strategies, parallel computation, visualization & graphics, software algorithms and tools, performance evaluation, networking & communication systems and advanced computational technologies. The Division of Advanced Scientific Computing is interested in identifying suitable candidates who might serve either as a rotator or as a permanent program director for this emerging program. Persons interested in serving in such a position must have specialization and extensive experience in a multi-disciplinary computational science research environment. Please respond with your inquiries and recommendations to Dr. Melvyn Ciment Dep. Director, Div. Advanced Scientific Computing Room 533 1800 G Street , N.W. Washington ,D.C. 20550 Tel. 202-357-9776 Electronic Mail Address: mciment@note.nsf.gov ------------------------------ End of NA Digest ************************** -------
