Subject: What Happened to MGNet?
No, you have not missed volume 14, numbers 2-4 yet...
I keep the real source of MGNet off the Internet as a result of several
hackers over the years breaking into the web server through various operating
system defects. This has worked very well until February. The same chip
failed on the motherboards of 3 machines and a fourth machine was unusable on
arrival. Having to reload all of my files 7 times since the middle of
February really shut MGNet down for updates.
It will take a little while longer to get completely back up to speed. Please
have patience.

Subject: Copper Mountain Iterative Methods
The virtual proceedings are late... really late. However, I would like to
invite all of the attendees to submit a paper, extended abstract, or
presentation.
If you sent me a paper already, I have not lost it. My email was intact
throughout the computer failures.

Subject: pltmg9.0/mgnet
PLTMG 9.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial differential equations in
general regions of the plane. It is based on continuous piecewise linear
triangular finite elements, and features adaptive local mesh refinement,
multigraph iteration, and pseudo-arclength continuation options for parameter
dependencies. It also provides options for solving several classes of optimal
control and obstacle problems. The package includes an initial mesh generator
and several graphics packages. Support for the Bank-Holst parallel adaptive
meshing strategy is also provided.
PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code, in both single and
double precision versions. The code has interfaces to X-Windows, MPI, and
Michael Holst's OpenGL image viewer SG. The X-Windows, MPI, and SG interfaces
require libraries that are NOT provided as part of the PLTMG package. PLTMG
is available from Netlib, Mgnet, and my homepage:

From: Oliver Ruebenkoenig
Subject: Mathematica Geometric Multigrid Tutorial
Perhaps i have something for http://www.mgnet.org/
I have written a mathematica tutorial for multigrid. The advantage of a
mathematica tutorial are in the way mathematica allows to do documentation.
It is possible to explain the principals of multigrid and immediately show the
code leading to a multigrid algorithm. Thus the mathematica tutorial can be
used to cross-check an implementation in another language.
The home page of our mathematica packages is at:
http://www.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/simulation/mathematica/IMSweb/
Unfortunately I am not able to convert the tutorial to html (this is a
mathematica problem but I am working on this)
Kind regards from Germany,

Subject: Fifth ACTS Collection Workshop
Fifth Workshop on the DOE
Advanced Computational Software Collection
http://acts.nersc.gov/events/Workshop2004
Enabling Technologies For High End Computer Simulations
Place: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Date: August 24-27, 2004
The DOE Advanced CompuTational Software Collection (ACTS Collection,
http://acts.nersc.gov) comprises a set of tools mainly developed at the
Department of Energy's (DOE) laboratories. These software tools aim to
simplify the solution of common and important computational problems and have
substantially benefited a wide range of scientific and industrial
applications. These benefits are accounted not only for running efficiently
in high performing computing environments but also realizing computation that
would not have been possible otherwise.
Despite these successes, there is still a need for a greater infrastructure to
each out academia and industry through a dissemination and instruction on the
state-of-the-art tools for high performance computing environments and
simultaneously provide an umbrella for tool developers to receive the feedback
from these communities. This workshop is part of an approach to build such an
infrastructure.
The four-day workshop will present an introduction to the ACTS Collection for
application scientists whose research demand includes either large amounts of
computation, a large volume of data manipulation, the use of robust numerical
algorithms, or combinations of these. The workshop will include a range of
tutorials on the tools (currently available in the collection and some
deliverables from the DOE SciDAC ISICs), discussion sessions aimed to solve
specific computational needs by the participants, and hands-on practices using
the NERSC's state-of-the-art computers. We are planning to organize parallel
sessions and group the tutorials by topics, as follows:
+ Direct and Iterative Methods for the solution of linear and
non-linear systems of equations
+ PDE's and Multi-level Methods
+ Numerical Optimization
+ Structured and Unstructured meshes (Generation, Manipulation
and Computation)
+ Development of High Performance Computing applications
+ Performance monitoring and tuning
+ Grid computing
+ Software Interoperability
Who Should attend this workshop?
This workshop is opened to computational scientists from industry and
academia. Registration fees are fully sponsored by the DOE's office of
Science. In addition, DOE will sponsor travel expenses for a limited number
of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This support includes
round-trip transportation to and from Berkeley, local transportation in
Berkeley, lodging, breakfasts, lunches and workshop materials.
The format of this workshop is tailored to the computational problems and
needs of its participants and functionality available in the ACTS Collection.
To effectively meet our goals, the number of participants is limited and
people interested in attending must fill out an on-line application form no
later than June 11, 2004. In addition, graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows applying for travel support must provide a letter of support from
their advisor or supervisor. This letter must also be submitted on-line and
no later than the June 11, 2004 deadline.
For more information on the workshop, please contact Tony Drummond at
(510) 486-7624 or Osni Marques at (510) 486-5290.

Subject: ETNA Special Issue on Saddle Point Problems
Special issue of ETNA on
"Saddle point problems: numerical solution and applications"
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) will devote a
special issue to the solution of saddle point problems. These problems arise
in systems of PDEs with conservation laws (including Stokes and Navier-Stokes
equations, incompressible linear elasticity, magnetostatics, etc.), in
constrained optimization problems, in generalized least squares problems, and
elsewhere. Such problems pervade computational science and engineering, and
their efficient numerical solution is of paramount importance. However, to
compute accurate solutions to saddle point problems at a reasonable cost has
proved difficult. As a consequence, a significant effort has been devoted to
define proper formulations, (stabilized) discretizations, and fast solution
methods for discretized saddle point problems and their generalizations.
The present issue aims to attract papers on the continuous and discrete
formulation of saddle point problems in all aspects of computational science,
both for specific problems and in general, and on efficient solution
techniques for the resulting systems of equations. Papers describing novel
applications leading to saddle point problems are also of interest.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to one of the special issue
editors listed below. The deadline for submission of papers is December 15,
2004. All submissions will undergo the standard refereeing process used for
regular ETNA papers. The issue is expected to appear by the end of 2005. For
more information on ETNA, see the web site
http://etna.mcs.kent.edu/
If you have any questions, please contact the editors of the special issue.
