<br />Subject: TOMS back issues available

<br /><br />I have a (probably) complete set of issues of ACM TOMS (Transactions
<br />on Mathematical Software), starting with vol. 1, no. 1 (1975), to
<br />vol. 40, no. 1 (2014).  These are just collecting dust in my closet.
<br />I am willing to donate them to the first responder who agrees to pay
<br />shipping costs.

<br />Subject: MAGMA 2.0 Released

<br /><br />MAGMA is on open-source library for dense and sparse linear algebra on
<br />heterogeneous CPU + GPU systems. It includes functionality similar to
<br />LAPACK, as well as iterative Sparse matrix solvers and preconditioners
<br />on the GPU. It is supported on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. This latest
<br />2.0 release adds queues to the MAGMA BLAS functions for better thread
<br />support, and adds several new Sparse matrix solvers.
<br />
<br />It is available under a modified BSD license from
<br />http://icl.utk.edu/magma/software/

<br />Subject: New Book, AIMD Dynamics and Distributed Resource Allocation

<br /><br />Announcing the February 9, 2016, publication by SIAM of:
<br />AIMD Dynamics and Distributed Resource Allocation by M. Corless, C.
<br />King, R. Shorten, and F. Wirth
<br />
<br />xiv + 235 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611974-21-8  / List Price $84.00 /
<br />SIAM Member Price $58.80 / DC29
<br />
<br />This is the first comprehensive book on the AIMD algorithm, the most
<br />widely used method for allocating a limited resource among competing
<br />agents without centralized control. The authors offer a new approach
<br />that is based on positive switched linear systems. It is used to
<br />develop most of the main results found in the book, and fundamental
<br />results on stochastic switched nonnegative and consensus systems are
<br />derived to obtain these results.
<br />
<br />The original and best known application of the algorithm is in the
<br />context of congestion control and resource allocation on the Internet,
<br />and readers will find details of several variants of the algorithm in
<br />order of increasing complexity, including deterministic, random,
<br />linear, and nonlinear versions. In each case, stability and
<br />convergence results are derived based on unifying principles. Basic
<br />and fundamental properties of the algorithm are described, examples
<br />are used to illustrate the richness of the resulting dynamical
<br />systems, and applications are provided to show how the algorithm can
<br />be used in the context of smart cities, intelligent transportation
<br />systems, and the smart grid.
<br />

<br />contents, preface, and index, please visit

<br />Subject: Distance Geometry, USA, Jul 2016

<br /><br />DIMACS Workshop on Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications
<br />26-29 July 2016 at DIMACS, Rutgers University, NJ, USA
<br />http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Distance/
<br />
<br />Distance Geometry (DG) is a field of geometry which focuses on
<br />defining and working with geometrical objects using distances between
<br />points rather than the points themselves. From classical results such
<br />as Heron's theorem, Euler's conjecture on the rigidity of polyhedra,
<br />Maxwell's forces diagrams, and the link to positive semidefinite
<br />matrices, DG has seen a veritable "engineering renaissance" in the XX
<br />century. DG is used in architecture (rigidity of structures), spatial
<br />conformation of molecules from inter-atomic distances, localization of
<br />mobile sensors in communication networks, control of unmanned
<br />underwater vehicles, control of robotic arms, solution of problems in
<br />spatial logic, and more. One of the foremost problems in DG is that of
<br />completing a partially specified matrix so that it is a Euclidean
<br />distance matrix, either in a given dimension, or in any (unspecified)
<br />dimension. Schoenberg's link means that DG is tightly linked to
<br />Semidefinite Programming (SDP), which is one of the most popular tools
<br />to solve DG problems, especially in the field of sensor networks.
<br />Because so many diverse application fields appeal to DG, its
<br />development has been somewhat fragmented, with very similar concepts
<br />being introduced within separate communities with different names. The
<br />aims of this conference are: (i) to attempt to reconcile some of this
<br />fragmentation by inviting researchers from many different disciplines
<br />to take part; (ii) to facilitate communications of technical knowledge
<br />between the different application field communities working on DG;
<br />(iii) to provide incentives for unifying the field of DG.

<br />Architectures (CPHPCA'16)
<br />Paris, France, August 24th-26th, 2016
<br />
<br />The main proposal of CPHPCA is to provide a scenario to discuss how
<br />those problems compromising important challenges and high
<br />computational requirements can be mapped over current and upcoming
<br />high performance architectures. The goal of this workshop is to bridge
<br />the gap between the theory of complex problems (computational fluid
<br />dynamics, bio-informatics, linear algebra, big data computing,
<br />deep-learning, data mining, ...) and high performance computing
<br />platforms by proposing new trends/directions in programming.
<br />
<br />Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
<br />- New strategies to improve performance
<br />- Code adapting to take advantages of lastest features
<br />- Numerical modeling for complex problems
<br />- Communication, synchronization, load balancing
<br />- Benchmarking, performance and numerical accuracy analysis
<br />- Scalability of algorithms and data structures
<br />- New programming models
<br />- Auto-Tunning Computing Systems
<br />- High level abstraction tools

<br />Subject: PhD Positions, Univ of Oslo

<br /><br />1-2 positions as PhD Research Fellow is available at the Department of
<br />Mathematics of the University of Oslo. The fellowship will be for a
<br />period of 3 years, with no compulsory work. Starting date no later
<br />than 01.08.2016.
<br />
<br />The positions are funded through the EU Marie-Sklodowska-Curie
<br />Innovative Training Network (ITN) ModCompShock (Modelling and
<br />Computation of Shocks and Interfaces). ModCompShock provides an
<br />international and highly visible framework covering a wide range of
<br />conceptual expertise. It focuses on the development of innovative
<br />mathematical methods and computational techniques in the general area
<br />of nonlinear hyperbolic and convection dominated partial differential
<br />equations; see here for more information.
<br />
<br />The position(s) will be attached to the Section for partial
<br />differential equations at the Deparment of Mathematics, with the
<br />possiblitiy of collaboration with the Department of Mathematical
<br />Sciences, NTNU. The position(s) will be for three years, at least
<br />three months of which are to be spent abroad at one of the partner
<br />universities or industry partners in the ITN.
