Over recent years, he has been increasingly afflicted by Parkinson's disease and was finally unable to cope with an infection. John had a distinguished career working in approximation theory, particularly using Chebyshev polynomials, admirably collected in his book with David Handscomb, published in 2002. He published over 100 papers, 9 other books, and supervised many students. John's career began at the University of Maryland (1965-1967) and the University of Toronto (1967-1972). Believing in living life to the full, a part-time activity was writing and performing in satirical revues. This was very successful and he decided in 1972 that he wanted to return to England and switch to the stage as his principal activity. For 18 months, he wrote for Week Ending on BBC Radio 4. He mounted a review at the 1976 Edinburgh Festival Fringe that among others featured Douglas Adams (later of Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and John Lloyd (later of Blackadder and Spitting Image). Most of John's career was at Shrivenham where he was promoted to Professor soon after the merger with Cranfield University. He was a very skilful subject leader, identifying opportunities to expand the range of mathematical and computational activities and fostering graduate students. He moved to the University of Huddersfield in 1994. There, too, he was very successful in building up the postgraduate programs. John may be remembered particularly for his brilliant after-dinner speeches. He applied all his revue-writing skills to the topic in hand. John is survived by his wife Moya, who has devotedly looked after him as his illness progressed, and his son Chad, who has inherited his father's taste for the stage. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Guntram Berti [log in to unmask] Date: September 28, 2016 Subject: Call for HPC-Cloud-based Application Experiments On the 21st of September 2016 the Fortissimo-2 consortium announced the launch of its Second Open Call for proposals. The Fortissimo-2 project (EU Horizon 2020 contract 680481) is funding a set of application experiments (sub-projects) to extend and demonstrate the business potential of an ecosystem for HPC-Cloud services, specifically for applications involving the simulation of coupled physical processes or high-performance data analytics for engineering or manufacturing. Experiments are at the core of Fortissimo-2 and its forerunner project Fortissimo. Additional application experiments are sought to complement the current set of nearly 80 experiments in both projects. These application experiments should be driven by requirements from the end-users (SMEs or mid-caps who are first-time HPC users) and bring together all actors in the value chain, from cycle providers to domain experts, leading to new and improved design processes, products or services. Up to 175000 EUR funding is available for each experiment selected. The call will close on December 7th, 2016. Detailed information on the call and the Fortissimo projects is given at http://www.fortissimo-project.eu/calls ------------------------------------------------------- From: Carol Woodward [log in to unmask] Date: September 29, 2016 Subject: New SUNDIALS Release, v 2.7.0 The SUNDIALS Team announces a new release, version 2.7.0, of the SUNDIALS suite of ODE, DAE and nonlinear integrator/solver software with sensitivity analysis. To access the code and further information, please go to: http://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials Summary of major changes in SUNDIALS v.2.7.0: - Two new NVECTOR modules added: for Hypre ParVector and PETSC. These can be used by users wishing to invoke a hypre or PETSc linear solver. Later SUNDIALS releases will include interfaces for accessing solvers from these libraries. - In vector API, added new required function, N_VGetVectorID. - Upgrades to sparse solver interfaces; now support CSR matrix type with KLU solver. - In all packages, fixed memory leak in banded preconditioner interface. - Additional example programs added throughout. - Numerous bug fixes throughout. - In IDA and IDAS: added optional input function IDASetMaxBacksIC to limit number of linesearch backtrack operations in IDACalcIC. User guides amended accordingly. - In ARKode: -- implicit predictor algorithms were updated: methods 2 and 3 were improved, a new predictor approach was added, and the default choice was modified. -- revised handling of integer codes for specifying built-in Butcher tables -- maximum number of Butcher table stages was increased from 8 to 15 to accommodate very high order methods, and an 8th-order adaptive ERK method was added. More details of changes for each package can be found at: http://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/release-history ------------------------------------------------------- From: Linda Petzold [log in to unmask] Date: October 03, 2016 Subject: StochSS Version 1.8 Release StochSS: Stochastic Simulation Service, is an integrated development environment for modeling and simulation of discrete stochastic biochemical systems. An easy to use GUI enables researchers to quickly develop and simulate biological models on a desktop or laptop, which can then be expanded or combined to incorporate increasing levels of complexity. As the demand for computational power increases, StochSS is able to seamlessly scale up by deploying cloud computing resources. The software currently supports simulation of ODE and well-mixed discrete stochastic models, parameter estimation of discrete stochastic models, and simulation of spatial stochastic models. New capabilities of Version 1.8 include: - Parameter Sweep tool facilitates 1D/2D parameter sweeps for all models - Integration of Jupyter Notebooks on job result pages for post-processing analysis - Status page updates for filtering and automatic forwarding of running->finished jobs For more details and instructions on how to obtain the code, visit us at http://www.StochSS.org.
