Subject: BLIS 0.5.0 now available

We are pleased to announce BLIS 0.5.0.

BLIS is a software framework for rapidly instantiating high-
performance BLAS-like dense linear algebra operations. Aside from
being a developer's tool, the framework also allows end-users to build
libraries that implement a superset of the BLAS while also providing a
BLAS compatibility API by default. BLIS is primarily developed and
maintained within the Institute for Computational and Engineering
Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin.

The marquee feature of BLIS 0.5.0 is support for mixed-domain/mixed-
precision (or, more concisely, mixed-datatype) functionality in the
general matrix multiplication (gemm) operation. BLIS now allows users
to compute on matrices A, B, and C where each matrix may be stored in
any of the four traditional floating-point datatypes: single- or
double-precision real or complex. In addition, we allow the caller to
specify a computation precision that is different from the storage
precision of either A or B. This means that 128 datatype combinations
are supported. The mixed-datatype implementation utilizes existing
optimized microkernels, when available, and thus high performance is
mostly preserved. (A modest slowdown is unavoidable in most cases due
to additional typecasting instructions.) This new functionality does
not require any additional workspace, though additional memory may
optionally be used to speed up some cases. Lastly, interfacing to
mixed-datatype gemm is easy thanks to BLIS's object API.

information, please visit the BLIS github website [1].

Subject: New Book, Explorations in Numerical Analysis

Explorations in Numerical Analysis,
by James V. Lambers and Amber C. Sumner.
World Scientific, Singapore, 2018. xvi+676 pp.
ISBN: 978-981-3209-96-1 (hardcover), 978-981-3209-97-8 (paperback)

This textbook introduces advanced undergraduate and early-career
graduate students to the field of numerical analysis. This field
pertains to the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for
the approximate solution of mathematical problems that arise in
applications spanning science and engineering, and are not practical
to solve using analytical techniques such as those taught in courses
in calculus, linear algebra or differential equations. Topics covered
include error analysis, computer arithmetic, the solution of systems
of linear equations, least squares problems, eigenvalue problems,
polynomial interpolation and approximation, numerical differentiation
and integration, nonlinear equations, optimization, ordinary
differential equations, and partial differential equations. For each
problem considered, the presentation includes the derivation of
solution techniques, analysis of their efficiency, accuracy, and
robustness, and details of their implementation, illustrated through
the MATLAB programming language. This text is suitable for a year-long
sequence in numerical analysis, and can also be used for a one-
semester course in numerical linear algebra.

Subject: New Book, Frequency Domain Techniques for H-infinity Control

FREQUENCY DOMAIN TECHNIQUES FOR H-INFINITY CONTROL OF 
DISTRIBUTED
PARAMETER SYSTEMS
BY HITAY OZBAY, SUAT GUMUSSOY, KENJI KASHIMA, AND YUTAKA 
YAMAMOTO

This book presents new computational tools for the H-infinity control
of distributed parameter systems in which transfer functions are
considered as input-output descriptions for the plants to be
controlled. The emphasis is on the computation of the controller
parameters and reliable implementation. The authors present recent
studies showing that the simplified skew Toeplitz method is applicable
to a wide class of systems, supply detailed examples from systems with
time delays and various engineering applications, and discuss reliable
implementation of the controller, complemented by a software based on
MATLAB.

Subject: New Book, Simple Random Walks

I have now a preliminary version of a book "Simple Random Walks",
available freely under pdf format from
http://www.scmsa.eu/archives/BB_SRW.htm

The aim of the work is to provide a new approach, energy based, to
deep properties of random walks. So far, the book is divided into 5
parts, which can be downloaded separately.  I am looking for comments
and criticisms which will help preparing the final version. Also, long
term collaboration with institutions are sought on such topics. They
have industrial applications, to failure tests and preventive
maintenance.  Finally, I am willing to give talks about the whole
topic, if some institutions are interested.

mathematics and computational chemistry, in the field of molecular
dynamics. The engineer will share its activities between the
Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique (LCT, UMR 7616 CNRS) and the Institute
for Computing and Data Sciences (ISCD) at Sorbonne Universite.

Research: This position (1 year-Renewable) is proposed to strengthen
an activity in scientific computing at the interface between
theoretical chemistry and applied mathematics. The research activity
will require the involvement of the engineer in the software
development activities in theoretical chemistry (molecular dynamics
with Tinker-HP and electronic structure codes), in order to further
optimize the existing codes on high- performance computing
architectures (MPI) and GPUs (CUDA & OpenACC). The research activity
will take place at Sorbonne University in conjunction with the
Laboratory of theoretical chemistry (LCT, UMR 7616) and the Institute
of Computational and Data Sciences (ISCD, Sorbonne University
Institute). The engineer recruited must also be involved in the
relations or collaborations of the Labex Calsimlab (Excellence
Laboratory) mainly at the Chemistry-Mathematics -High Performance
computing interface (collaborations with the LJLL, LIP6 laboratories
at Sorbonne University and INRIA...). He/she will have to justify the
ability to conceive, animate and pilot activities related to non-
strictly disciplinary. The candidate (mathematical engineer or HPC
specialist) will have to possess a solid experience in the
implementation of scientific computing, preferably in link with
computational chemistry.  He/she will already have a recognized
scientific activity in this field. The candidate will show an interest
- proven by publications - for applications of scientific computing to
chemical physics. He/she will have to play an important role in
collaborating on research projects related to several disciplines:
chemistry, Mathematics, and computer science.
