Due to many unforeseen issues, I have been unable to keep up with a regular schedule of issues of the digest. Starting with the current issue, the NA Digest will return to a weekly schedule. To help with this, an Associate Editor will be appointed soon to assist in the work involved in providing the digest to the community. I understand the timeliness of the material in the NA Digest to this community and will work to make sure this service to the community will continue on schedule. As a reminder, when submitting announcements, please use the web submission form and follow the instructions given on that form: https://icl.eecs.utk.edu/na-digest/websubmit.html I appreciate all of your patience and support. Best Regards, Danny Dunlavy NA Digest Editor ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jens Saak [log in to unmask] Date: March 07, 2014 Subject: FlexiBLAS v1.0.0 release It is our pleasure to announce the initial release of FlexiBLAS. We do not provide yet another BLAS implementation in itself, but rather present an easy to use method for switching between different BLAS implementations while debugging or benchmarking other codes. Feel free to check the current version at http://www.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/projects/flexiblas/ and drop us a line if you have any comments or requests about it. Further information on the realization can be found in LAWN 284: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawnspdf/lawn284.pdf The library is available under GPLv3. We have tested it in production environments on several platforms and hope you will find it useful for your research, as well.

Main improvements of librsb-1.1 are: - runtime autotuning of optimal threads / structure for sparse matrix-vector multiply and triangular solve; also available as an extension of the Sparse BLAS interface - Fortran ISO C Binding interface in rsb.F90/rsb.mod is now 100% compatible with the C one in rsb.h - slightly improved performance of matrix by vector / multi-vector multiplication - significantly improved documentation - collection of time spent in librsb routines now possible - better debug options (e.g.: max allocatable memory, verbose operation of rsb.h or Sparse BLAS routines on rebuild / request ) On a wide sample of matrices, the new autotuning feature has been observed to improve execution speed up between a few and a few hundred percent.

For this reason we feel the need to define a standard test set to compare the performance of different generic quadratic optimization software and to evaluate the computational performance of newly developed algorithms and solution techniques. We are looking for interesting and challenging problems from all fields of Global Optimization, Operations Research and Combinatorial Optimization, ideally those which have been built to model real life problems. We are interested in benchmarking instances with the following characteristics: Generic Quadratic objective function; Binary, integer and continuous variables; Generic Quadratic and/or linear constraints. Please submit by email to the following address: [log in to unmask] The submitted instances must be in one of the following formats: GAMS/AMPL/LP/MPS. The submission of instances should be accompanied by a few lines of description with the following information: - authors/institution/company providing the instance - references (optional) - optimum value or upper and lower bounds (optional) - any additional relevant information (optional) Please find the QPlib2014 web page here: http://www.lamsade.dauphine.fr/QPlib2014/ The submission deadline is: 1st May 2014. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Sven Hammarling [log in to unmask] Date: February 24, 2014 Subject: Nonlinear Optimization, UK, Mar 2014 We are holding a one day workshop on "New Directions in Nonlinear Optimization" at the University of Manchester, School of Mathematics on Wednesday 19th March 2014.

Conference themes include: (1) structured matrix computations that exploit analytic structure in discretized differential and integral equations; (2) new randomized methods for accelerating certain linear algebraic computations and reducing communication bottlenecks; and (3) the interplay between direct solvers and high-order discretization techniques that allow the solution of PDEs to ten digits of accuracy or more. Applications include materials modeling, wave scattering, and fluid flow. The conference will be anchored by 10 summer-school style lectures delivered by Per-Gunnar Martinsson (Univ. of Colorado), with hands-on tutorial afternoon coding sessions to explore the algorithms. Additional lectures will be given by Adrianna Gillman (Dartmouth), Alex Barnett (Dartmouth), Leslie Greengard (Simons Foundation and NYU), and Vladimir Rokhlin (Yale). The conference is funded by the NSF, and financial support (including lodging, meals, and some travel expenses) is available for up to 30 participants. Graduate students, junior researchers, and members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. The conference is followed by a weekend workshop on analysis-based fast solvers, June 28 - 29, at the same location.

Many mathematical scientists now use powerful symbolic, numeric and graphic (sometimes abbreviated "SNAG") computing environments in their research, in a remarkable departure from tradition. While these tools collectively are quite effective, challenges remain in numerous areas, including: (a) rapid, high-precision computation of special functions and their derivatives; (b) user- customizable symbolic computing; (c) graphical computing; (d) data-intensive computing; and (e) large-scale computing on parallel and GPU architectures (including algorithm and software design for such systems). This workshop will convene mathematical and computer scientists who create or exploit these tools, together with computational tool developers and commercial vendors of mathematical software, to exchange approaches and extend the state of the art in the field. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jose Castillo [log in to unmask] Date: March 07, 2014 Subject: Panam 2014, Colombia, Jul 2014 VIII Pan American Workshop in Applied and Computational Mathematics/Computational Science and Engineering July 21-25, 2014 Barranquilla, Colombia There is a growing interest in applied and computational mathematics in the Americas and a parallel growth in the use of mathematical and computer modeling to help solve both industrial and societal problems.

This principle gives rise to a web of conjectures called the Langlands program which continues to guide research in number theory to the present day. For example, an important first instance of the Langlands program is the modularity theorem for elliptic curves over the rational numbers, an essential ingredient in the proof of Fermat's last theorem. Despite its many successes, the Langlands program remains vague in many of its predictions, due in part to an absence of data to guide a precise formulation away from a few special cases. In this thematic program, we will experiment with and articulate refined conjectures relating arithmetic-geometric objects to automorphic forms, improve the computational infrastructure underpinning the Langlands program, and assemble additional supporting data. During the semester we will focus on three specific aspects of the Langlands program. First, we will look at elliptic curves over number fields and genus 2 curves over the rationals and will consider their relationship to modular forms. Second, we will consider computational aspects of modular forms in higher rank. Specifically, we will examine K3 surfaces and their connections to modular forms on orthogonal groups. Our third topic concerns analytic aspects of L-functions, building upon and complementing the algebraic, arithmetic, and geometric data. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Amaziane [log in to unmask] Date: March 10, 2014 Subject: NM2PorousMedia, Croatia, Sep-Oct 2014 International Conference on Numerical and Mathematical Modeling of Flow and Transport in Porous Media (NM2PorousMedia-2014 Dubrovnik, Croatia, 29 September-3 October 2014. http://nm2porousmedia.math.pmf.unizg.hr/ Deadline to submit an abstract: March 31, 2014.
