Subject: Announcing SPLATT v1.0

We would like to announce the version 1.0 release of the Surprisingly
ParalleL spArse Tensor Toolkit (SPLATT). SPLATT is open source
software for factoring large, sparse tensors with an arbitrary number
of modes. SPLATT is a hybrid MPI+OpenMP code and thus exploits both
shared- and distributed-memory parallelism.

SPLATT is written in C and ships with an executable, GNU Octave/Matlab
interface, and C/C++ API. Primary functionality in version 1.0 is
computation of the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition, also known as
CANDECOMP/PARAFAC. With this computation we also export a kernel for
Matricized Tensor Times Khatri-Rao Product (MTTKRP), which can be used
in other tensor codes.

Information about SPLATT is available at:
http://cs.umn.edu/~splatt/

Subject: New Book, Variational Methods for Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Elliptic Problems

Variational Methods for the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Elliptic
Problems, by Roland Glowinski.

xx + 462 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611973-77-8 / List Price $79.00
/ CBMS & SIAM Member Price $55.30 / Order Code CB86

The author addresses computational methods that have proven efficient
for the solution of a large variety of nonlinear elliptic
problems. These methods can be applied to many problems in science and
engineering, but this book focuses on their application to problems in
continuum mechanics and physics.

This book differs from others on the topic by presenting examples of
the power and versatility of operator-splitting methods; providing a
detailed introduction to alternating direction methods of multipliers
and their applicability to the solution of nonlinear (possibly
nonsmooth) problems from science and engineering; and showing that
nonlinear least-squares methods, combined with operator-splitting and
conjugate gradient algorithms, provide efficient tools for the
solution of highly nonlinear problems.

Subject: DOE Computational Climate Science, USA, Jan 2016

A workshop to discuss bold, new computational ideas to address longer-
term science needs for climate modeling is being convened January 26-
28, 2016 in Rockville, MD. As the climate science community explores a
host of critical science questions to be answered over the next 10+
years, with the aim of informing stakeholders about the ongoing
changes in global and local climate, there is a growing recognition of
the expanding requirements for multiscale, global, coupled Earth
system models. We expect them to provide much more detail and
fidelity, with a much better understanding of their uncertainties,
while still executing robustly and efficiently on ever larger and more
complex computing systems.

The DOE Office of Science BER and ASCR programs are sponsoring the
event, titled "Advancing Cross-cutting Ideas for Computational Climate
Science", or AXICCS 2016. It is a grassroots effort to generate fresh
thinking that will mold the optimal science directions and motivate
the latest and as yet to be uncovered ASCR developments that will be
required to handle new requirements. A report outlining the
challenges, strategies to address them, and possible avenues for
execution will be one of the outcomes of the event. A website with
details and logistics will be provided shortly.

A key aspect to achieve the workshop goals is to brainstorm before the
event, and to accomplish this we are soliciting community input in the
form of "ideas" papers. Overall space at the event is limited, but we
plan to accommodate the lead authors of these ideas papers via a
presentation (oral or poster) and acknowledgement in the workshop
report. Some of those selected will be included in the workshop
write-up.  Details about the format for the ideas papers and templates
to download are provided at
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/workshops/AXICCS/paper.html.  Ideas papers
must be submitted through a link to EasyChair no later than 5:00pm
Eastern Time on Nov 24, 2015, and official invitations to present will
be sent to selected lead authors by Dec 9, 2015. Attendees will need
to cover their own travel expenses.

SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing 2016 (CSC16)
Albuquerque, NM, USA, October 10-12, 2016
http://www.siam.org/meetings/csc16/

With the continuing advances in high-performance computing, the role
of computational science and engineering (CSE) has extensively grown
in importance over the last decades. At the same time scientific
simulations continue to face a number of challenges and generate
massive amounts of data. Many of the underlying problems here are
combinatorial in nature and unified by a common set of abstractions,
data structures, and algorithms, often based on graphs and
hypergraphs. On a related front, data science and analytics have
emerged as powerful methods of inquiry across a broad range of domains
and pose various fundamental challenges associated with size and
complexity of data that would greatly benefit from combinatorial
methods. CSC16 provides a forum for researchers interested in the
interaction of combinatorial mathematics and algorithms with CSE
and/or data science.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original
unpublished research in all areas of combinatorial scientific
computing.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
- Combinatorial (discrete) models in scientific computing
- Graph and hypergraph algorithms in scientific computing
- Sparse matrix computations
- Combinatorial problems in data science and network science
- Combinatorial problems in Algorithmic Differentiation
- Combinatorial problems in optimization
- Applications of combinatorial scientific computing

Submission deadline (for both papers and abstracts):  May 2, 2016.
