Date: Wed, 24 Aug 1994 14:10:07 GMT
Subject: InterCom: Lean Mean Collective Communication Machine

We would like to announce the official release of the Interprocessor
Collective Communications (InterCom) Library, iCC release R1.0.0 for
the Intel family of Supercomputers. This library is the result of an
ongoing collaboration between Mike Barnett (University of Idaho),
David Payne (Intel SSD), Satya Gupta (Intel SSD), Lance Shuler (Sandia
National Laboratories), Robert van de Geijn (University of Texas at
Austin), and Jerrell Watts (California Institute of Technology),
funded by the Intel Research Council, Intel SSD, and the University of
Texas Center for High Performance Computing.

The library implements a comprehensive approach to collective
communication. The results are best summarized by the following
performance table, representative of improvements obtained on a
16 X 32 Paragon, running under R1.1 of the O/S:

vector NX InterCom ratio
Operation length (sec) (sec) (NX/InterCom)

Broadcast 8 bytes 0.0012 0.0013 0.92
64K bytes 0.031 0.012 2.58
1M bytes 0.51 0.10 5.10

Collect 8 bytes 0.42 0.0076 55.3
(unknown len) 64K bytes 0.47 0.017 27.6
1M bytes 1.11 0.080 13.9

Similar, or better, improvement is obtained under R1.2. Attaining the
improvement in performance is as easy as linking in a library that
automatically translates NX collective communication calls to iCC
calls. Furthermore, the iCC library gives additional functionality
like scatter, gather, a number of global combine (summation) variants,
and more general "gopf" combine operations. An MPI-like group
collective communications interface is planned for the next release.

We would like to note that this library is not intended to compete
with MPI. It was started as a research project into techniques
required to develop high performance implementations of the MPI
collective communication calls. We are making this library available
as a service to the user community, with the hope that these techniques
eventually are incorporated into efficient MPI implementations.

The library is available from netlib (shortly) and via anonymous ftp.

Questions about the library should be addressed to

intercom@cs.utexas.edu

Subject: Finite Element Mesh Generation Roundtable

3rd Annual MESHING ROUNDTABLE
Finite Element Mesh Generation
October 24 & 25
Albuquerque, NM

Sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories

We are announcing our 3rd annual Meshing Roundtable to be held in
Albuquerque, NM, on October 24, and 25th at the Albuquerque Sheraton Old
Town Inn. Mesh generation is an enabling technology for the finite
element, finite difference, and finite volume analysis methods. The
development of automated meshing techniques significantly simplifies the
pre-processing task, and as such is of significant interest to the user
community. This roundtable is aimed at providing an international
technical exchange forum amongst researchers working in the field of
automated meshing algorithms, particularly unstructured meshing
algorithms.

At this roundtable, noted researchers developing meshing technology will
present their most recent work in algorithm development. We are
soliciting additional technical presentations from researchers working
in this field. Although one-page abstracts with an accompanying
presentation are adequate, we encourage full papers. The abstracts,
papers, and copies of the presentation material will be published in the
conference proceedings and in refereed journals as appropriate. Many of
the major vendors of finite element pre-processing codes will be in
attendance and most will be presenting their technical work. This is
not an advertising forum, but a technical forum.

The roundtable will include both formal and informal presentations, as
well as panel discussions and informal debates. Technology to be
presented includes automated paving and plastering meshing techniques
for quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes, new logical whisker weaving
hexahedral meshing algorithms, medial axis decomposition methods for
hexahedral meshing, new plastering methods for tetrahedral meshing, and
adaptive meshing techniques.

Subject: Postdoc Position at CWI in Amsterdam

POSTDOC POSITION AT CWI IN AMSTERDAM

Applications are called for a post-doc position at the
Numerical Mathematics Department of CWI (the Center for
Mathematics and Computer Science) in Amsterdam. The postdoc
is to deliver a contribution to the project 'ALGORITHMS FOR
ATMOSPHERIC FLOW PROBLEMS', in which we study numerical
algorithms and develop software for transport-chemistry
PDE problems occurring in air-pollution modeling. The PDE
problems are large systems of advection-diffusion-reaction
equations. The reaction part describes the atmospheric chemistry.
The problems are highly CPU intensive and one of our
focus points therefore is high-performance computing, in
particular MASSIVELY PARALLEL COMPUTING is of interest.

The position is open for approximately 6 months, starting
at the end of 1994 or early 1995. The postdoc
researcher will be instructed to port a given 3D code,
developed on a CRAY C98/4, to a CRAY T3D (256 processors).
His or her task will be to assess the algorithms in use for
parallelization prospects, to compare the two codes, and to finish
a report on the research at the end of the 6-month period.
The algorithms currently employed are well described in
written reports and research papers.

Applicants should preferably have experience with the Cray T3D
or a machine with a similar architecture. Their background
should be numerical mathematics, numerical software, algorithms
for PDEs, vector and parallel computing. Experience with
atmospheric transport-chemistry problems would be advantageous
but is not strictly necessary. Applicants should have finished
their Ph.D.

The postdoc position is made possible by a EC research grant
associated with the Human Capital and Mobility (HCM) project
'The Equations of Fluid Mechanics and Related Topics'. The CWI
Research Group is one out of 16 research groups participating
in this HCM project, which is coordinated by the Ecole Polytechnique,
Palaiseau, France, under the leadership of Prof. Jean-Claude Nedelec.
The position is open only for CITIZENS FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
from OUTSIDE the Netherlands. The salary is in accordance with CWI
standards. CWI's personnel department can assist in finding housing.

Please apply to Jan Verwer at the address below. Send a CV,
description of research interests and copy of your Ph.D thesis.
