Subject: Who Invented BICG?
Hello NA Digest,
I think I should know this, but I do not find it anywhere: who
invented the bi-conjugate gradient method (BICG), and what was the
first paper?

Subject: Guaranteed Automatic Integration Library (GAIL) 2.0 Released
We are happy to announce version 2.0 of our library of rigorously
justified adaptive algorithms implemented for MATLAB. New to this
release are
- adaptive quasi-Monte Carlo cubature algorithms,
- local adaption for univariate function approximation,
- an algorithm to compute proportions by IID sampling, and
- a more generalized hybrid absolute/relative error criterion for our
simple Monte Carlo algorithms.
GAIL 2.0 can be downloaded at https://code.google.com/p/gail/. We
welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions for improvement.

This monograph provides a framework for students and practitioners who
are working on the solution of electromagnetic imaging in
geophysics. Bridging the gap between theory and practical applied
material (for example, inverse and forward problems), it provides a
simple explanation of finite volume discretization, basic concepts in
solving inverse problems through optimization, a summary of applied
electromagnetics methods, and MATLAB code for efficient computation.
The book will appeal to students interested in computational science,
data fitting, and applications to electromagnetics and to
practitioners in the field.

Subject: Graph Algorithm Building Blocks, India, May 2015
Graph Algorithm Building Blocks (GABB) 2015
An IPDPS 2015 Workshop, May 25-29, 2015, Hyderabad, India
The Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms, introduced over 30 years ago,
had a transformative effect on software for linear algebra. With the
BLAS, researchers spend less time mapping algorithms onto specific
features of hardware platforms and more time on interesting new
algorithms.
Would it be practical to define an analogous set of basic building
blocks for graph algorithms? Can we define a core set of mathematical
primitives from which we can build most (if not all) important graph
algorithms? If we can agree on the mathematical foundations, how would
these interact with the data structures used in graph algorithms and
result in an API the graph algorithms research community could
support?
These questions will be the topic for the second “Graph Algorithms
Building Blocks†workshop. Our goal is an interactive workshop where
the full range of issues behind “Graph Algorithms Building Blocksâ€
will be explored. We want an interactive “workshop†so papers that
report preliminary results and unproven but interesting ideas will be
considered.
Due dates: paper/panel submissions due 10 Jan 2015, author
notification 14 Feb 2015, camera-ready due 28 Feb 2015.

- Due date for submission: January 10 2015
- Date for notification: February 14 2015
- Date for camera-ready submission: February 28 2015
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to

including their relations with application layers on one hand, and
with Operating Systems and hardware on the other. Of particular
interest is the integration of these components into larger, more
complex, software stacks, either ones that are generic in scope, or
ones that are related to a particular computational domain.
Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited, to
the following: Runtime support for High Performance Applications;
Runtime distributed memory support; Domain Specific Languages for
Task-Based Programming; Modeling and prediction of performance and
energy consumption; Runtime co-optimization for multiple objectives
(such as performance, power, resilience); Dynamic workload management
in heterogeneous runtime systems; Composability of runtime systems;
Interaction between applicative middleware, runtime, and Operating
System; Experience porting, running, or developing applications on
runtime systems; Debugging support for runtime systems; Performance
feedback and performance tools runtime systems; Runtime adaptability
to future architectures; Dealing with I/O challenges in task-based
runtime systems

positions in the general area of computational fluid dynamics.
Appointments start in August 2015.
In one position we seek an individual with a strong background in
fluid mechanics and demonstrated expertise in numerical simulations of
multi-scale phenomena or systems characterized by multi-physical

created at Michigan State University. This position will focus on the
science of computing with an emphasis on massively parallel and large
scale simulations of fluid flows in multi-component engineering and
natural systems, including (but not limited to)
aeronautical/hydrodynamical, geological, biological, materials
processing and manufacturing systems.
Candidates at all ranks will be considered. Candidates must hold an

The project concerns the theoretical-computational investigation of
hydrodynamics of smart microengineered devices in the presence of
complexities such as vapour-liquid interfaces and critical
phenomena-phase transitions, thus ultimately bridging the gap between
microfluidics and modern theoretical physics. It is in collaboration
with the molecular modelling and simulation group of Prof. Amparo
Galindo (Chemical Engineering, Imperial College) and the experimental
microchemical engineering groups of Prof. Asterios Gavriilidis and
Prof. Eva Sorensen (Chemical Engineering, University College London).
The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in
Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related area and a strong
foundation on general mathematical modelling and mathematical
techniques (analytical and numerical). A good knowledge of interfacial
fluid mechanics and critical phenomena theory is highly desirable.
He/she will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide
variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied
mathematics and engineering science fundamentals.
