It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract for the 3rd International Conference on Computational and Mathematical Biomedical Engineering (CMBE13), to be held between 16th and 18th December at City University of Hong Kong. The final deadline is 15 August 2013 (details at http://www.compbiomed.net/2013/abstract-submission-(general).htm). For invited speakers, mini-symposia and other information, please consult the conference website at http://www.compbiomed.net ------------------------------------------------------- From: Joseph Grcar [log in to unmask]<malito:[log in to unmask]> Date: July 31 2013 Subject: John Bolstad John Bolstad died at the age of 66 this July after a period of declining health. John graduated from the University of St Thomas in St Paul, and then he attended Stanford University on an NSF fellowship. As I understand the unwritten history of this subject, John belonged to the group of Stanford students with whom Joe Oliger pioneered the development of adaptive grid methods that really work. Most of John's career was spent at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the salad days when it was called LLL and run by UC. John had an amazing memory for mathematics, music, and opera, maybe in reverse order. I will miss him. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Danny Dunlavy [log in to unmask]<malito:[log in to unmask]> Date: August 01 2013 Subject: NA Digest submission process As was mentioned in the previous digest announcement, the submission process for NA Digest will be changing due to several issues with the old submission process.

It includes a tax free maintenance bursary of £13726 per year, plus a waiver of UK/EU fees for 3.5 years.The aim of the proposed project is to bridge the physical and economic/financial aspects of renewable energy (RE) production and to shed light on the interaction between its energy production process on the one hand and energy market price dynamics on the other. It would therefore take as its starting point the fundamental uncertainty both of RE production (subject as it is to variations in, for example, wind or sun) and of electricity prices. The complexity associated with the interaction of these two risks will be analysed in the project in a mathematically rigorous framework. The results will be complemented by computational simulations. Candidates should have a strong background in at least one of the areas of Finance, Stochastic Processes, Optimal Control and Numerical Analysis. It is foreseen that this project will be carried out with the active collaboration of a major international investment bank.If you have questions concerning the vacancy, please contact Dr Max Jensen ([log in to unmask]).

The position is part of the project "GeoScale: A framework for multiscale seismic modelling and inversion" funded under the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC). The PostDoc will work on a data management framework for the scalable parallel processing and measurement of large seismic waveform data sets directly on HPC systems.

The position is part of the project "EXA2CT — EXascale Algorithms and Advanced Computational Techniques" funded under the EU FP7-ICT programme. The successful applicant will work on the development of a code generation and autotuning framework for parallel stencil computations on modern microarchitectures. The project is conducted together with academic and industrial project partners from Europe. The EXA2CT project brings together experts at the cutting edge of the development of solvers, related algorithmic techniques, and HPC software architects for programming models and communication. It will take a revolutionary approach to exascale solvers and programming models, rather than the incremental approach of other projects. We will produce modular open source proto-applications that demonstrate the algorithms and programming techniques developed in the project, to help boot-strap the creation of genuine exascale codes. The goal of the subproject is to increase the arithmetic intensity of iterative stencil-type computations by reusing the data for the computation of subsequent time steps as soon as possible, thus maximizing the amount of reusable data and minimizing noncompulsory data transfers to the core-local memories. The successful candidate will extend the PATUS stencil framework and will collaborate with algorithmic and programming models partners within the EXA2CT project.Application: Your application should contain a motivational letter (2 pages maximum), a CV, copies of relevant degrees and two contacts for references.
