The Householder Committee seeks a team to organize the 2023
Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra. The deadline for
submitting a proposal is 1 April 2020.

Guidelines for preparing a proposal and a link for uploding the
proposal can be found at:

Subject: Release of the ExaHyPE engine for solving hyperbolic PDE systems

Release of the ExaHyPE engine for solving hyperbolic PDE systems -
www.exahype.org

ExaHyPE is an open source simulation engine to solve hyperbolic PDE
systems using high-order ADER-DG discretisation. It is built on top of
dynamically adaptive meshes and a customisation engine to yield
efficient parallel code.  ExaHyPE is written in a way that most
computer science aspects as well as most of the numerics are hidden
away from the user. Users plug in their PDE formulation (as flux and
eigenvalues) into the engine and then delegate all further work to
ExaHyPE.

Snapshots of the engine source code can be downloaded from
www.exahype.org.  Access to the engine repository is granted after
registration on the website.  The engine comes with a User Guide and
several reference examples.

For details on the engine, see our preprint article on
https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07987

Subject: PhD Position, Numerical Modelling of Weather & Climate, Univ of Exeter

Applications are open for a 3.5yr, funded PhD project at the
University of Exeter, in collaboration with the UK Met Office.

Next generation time stepping schemes for weather and climate
prediction.

Accurate, timely weather and climate forecasting strongly relies on
the design of the mathematical and numerical algorithms underpinning
the forecast model and the efficiency with which they exploit
supercomputer hardware. Supercomputer design is undergoing a
revolution driven by physical limitations on the size, and therefore
speed, of processor components. This opens a 'chasm' between the
forecast simulations we need to run and what is possible to run on the
hardware. Future hardware will consist of vastly more, but less
powerful, processors meaning that we must distribute calculations
across the processors so they can be computed simultaneously, or `in
parallel\371. This requires revolutionary redesign of the mathematical
and numerical algorithms. An example of this is the recent UK Met
Office GungHo project, motivated by parallel communication bottlenecks
related to the geometry of the grid. The outcome was a new spatial
discretisation using compatible finite element methods which preserve
underlying properties of the equations of motion without imposing
restrictions on grid geometry. However, this does not solve the
parallel scalability problem inherent in spatial domain decomposition:
we must find a way perform parallel calculations in the time domain.

machine learning.

The PhD position is part of the SciML-Scientific Computing & Machine
Learning project, a collaborative initiative between the Department of
Mathematics, UiO and Simula Research Laboratory. The initiative aims
to bridge numerical algorithms developed for solving partial
differential equations with recent techniques in machine learning, in
order to both increase the flexibility of traditional numerical
algorithms (such as finite element methods and multigrid techniques)
and also to increase robustness for neural networks. Applications in
focus are for example recent medical findings relating development of
Alzheimer's disease with the fluid dynamical clearance of metabolic
waste during sleep.
