Subject: Reminder about Sca/LAPACK, PLASMA, & MAGMA Software Survey

We would like you opinion and provide input on dense linear algebra
software packages that you use, in particular our libraries LAPACK,
ScaLAPACK, PLASMA and MAGMA. The purpose of this survey is to improve
these libraries to benefit you, the users. There are many possible
improvements that could be made, and this survey will help us
prioritize them.

The survey has six parts and it's easy to skip a part if it’s not
relevant.

1. A general section about your applications and their needs.
2. Specific questions about your LAPACK uses, if any.
3. Specific questions about your ScaLAPACK uses, if any.
4. Specific questions about your PLASMA uses, if any.
5. Specific questions about your MAGMA uses, if any.
6. An open section for any additional comment

We estimate that it should take 10 minutes to fill out the survey.

You will find the survey here:

Thank you very much.

Subject: StoryCorps at the Tech Museum in San Jose

Hi, everyone.

There may be people on this list who have meaningful stories to tell
about the San Jose tech Musuem. Please fell free to submit yours if
you live in the Bay Area or to share it with Karen Hennessy.

with best wishes,
Joel Malard

The San Jose Tech Museum is taking community submissions to
participate in the upcoming visit from StoryCorps.

A StoryCorps interview is 40 minutes of uninterrupted time for
meaningful conversation between two people. It's an opportunity to ask
the questions that matter and preserve your stories for future
generations, whether you share memories of our institution or other
personal stories about how technology solves problems, Silicon Valley
and STEM education, innovation, women in tech-whatever moves you.

Listen to clips of StoryCorps interviews here:
http://storycorps.org/listen/ At the end of your session, you'll take
home a broadcast-quality CD of the interview, and with your permission
a copy will be archived at the Library of Congress and with The Tech.

You have until February 11th to submit a story about The Tech's impact
on your life or a time you were inspired to innovate. If selected, we
will reach out to schedule the recording Feb 26, 27 or 28.

MATRICES: Algebra, Analysis and Applications
Shmuel Friedland

This book deals with advanced topics in matrix theory using the
notions and tools from algebra, analysis, geometry an numerical
analysis.  It consists of seven chapters that are loosely connected
and interdependent.  Chapter 1 discusses the fundamental notions of
Linear Algebra over general and special integral domains. Chapter 2
deals with well known canonical form: Jordan canonical form, Kronecker
canonical form, and their applications. Chapter 3 discusses functions
of matrices and analytic similarity with respect to one complex
variable. Chapter 4 devoted to linear operators over finite
dimensional inner product spaces.  Chapter 5 is a short chapter on
elements of multilinear algebra. Chapter 6 deals with nonnegative
matrices.  Chapter 7 discusses various topics as norms, complexity
problem of the convex hull of a tensor product of certain two convex
sets, variation of tensor power and spectra, inverse eigenvalue
problems for nonnegative matrices, and cones.

A Spring School on "Reduced-order models for nonlinear dynamics in
fluid flows" will take place in Montestigliano, Italy (Tuscany) from
17 to 23 April 2016. It is sponsored by ERCOFTAC and intended for
young scientists (doctoral and post-doctoral students) to learn,
interact and study interdisciplinary topics of interest in fluid
dynamics, turbulence and combustion.

This year's topic is concerned with the design of reduced-order
models, in particular for flow control applications. Special emphasis
will be directed towards weakly and strongly nonlinear techniques.

The keynote lecturer is Prof. Denis Sipp from ONERA-DAFE, France. The
workshop provides an opportunity for hands-on project work in small
groups, with close interaction with the keynote lecturer and the
organizers.

Subject: Modelling and Experiments in Drug Delivery Systems, Portugal, Jun 2016

Modelling and Experiments in Drug Delivery Systems 2016 workshop will
take place from June 20-June 22, 2016, at the Department of
Mathematics of University of Coimbra, Coimbra-Portugal.

Mathematical modelling is playing an increasingly important role in
the field of medicine through the use of models and numerical
simulations. These models represent an extremely useful tool to
complement theoretical and experimental work and provide personalised
approaches for patient treatment.

Controlled drug delivery systems like drug-eluting stents, transdermal
patches, and intravitreal implants have become a common tool in
clinical practice. These drug delivery systems combine a platform with
a drug in a such way that the active agent is efficiently released to
a target organ, while maintaining the drug concentration within a
therapeutic window during an extended period of time. Devices and
drugs can be tuned to meet the individual patient needs.

The Modelling and experiments in drug delivery systems 2016
(MEDDS2016) workshop aims to present state-of-the-art research on
modelling and experimental approaches for drug delivery systems.  The
goal is to bring mathematicians, biologists, physicians, and engineers
together in an open discussion environment.

Future and Emerging Technologies (NLAFET) project funded by the
European Commission involving Inria, Umea University, University of
Manchester and STFC-RAL.

The position will focus on design, implementation, and evaluation of
parallel algorithms for numerical linear algebra with regards to
extreme-scale challenges.  The research at RAL will principally be on
sparse direct solvers that are highly scalable and thus suitable for
future and emerging large scale computers.  The algorithms developed
will be validated on several applications targeted by NLAFET, such as
power systems, computational fluid dynamics, and astrophysics.  The
research will be done in close collaboration with established
researchers in the Numerical Analysis Group as well as with other
partners in NLAFET.

Candidates should have a PhD in applied mathematics or computer
science and expertise in numerical linear algebra and/or high
performance computing.

This post offers a full-time research appointment until the end of the
project on 31 October 2018.
