SIAM News, the bi-monthly newsletter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, is running a regular column entitled "Applications on Advance Architecture Computers." The column will describe real-world applications that are solved on some form of advanced architecture machine. The hardware is not limited to just supercomputers; any machine(s) more exotic than the SISD class is acceptable. The only criteria for an article is that the application involve some mathematical formulation and its is was achieved on an 'advanced architecture' computer. Of particular interest are applications where the architecture itself made the solution possible or practical or produced a new approach to the problem. Real-world applications are preferable to an implementation of a numerical algorithm. LU decomposition is a very important algorithm, but an application such as modeling of the human heart is preferred. We are not, however, excluding articles on algorithms alone. The article(s) themselves should be 4-5 pages with perhaps one or two figures. The article should be of a level that will appeal to the broad backgrounds of the 9000 subscribers to SIAM News. As a rough guide, something more technical than a Scientific American article but not as technical as a technical journal article is appropriate. If you have an application and would like to see it in the column, we would certainly like to accomodate you.
