This is a major event for the mathematical community, and in particular for the algebraic geometers, and we are happy to share it with you. On the behalf of the direction of Alexander Grothendieck Institute in Montpellier. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Cédric Lachat [log in to unmask] Date: May 15, 2017 Subject: PaMPA v2.0.0, Distributed mesh management and remesher Release v2.0.0 of the PaMPA software is now available. PaMPA is a software library for handling unstructured meshes in parallel, on distributed memory architectures. PaMPA speeds-up and eases the writing of scientific solvers that implement compact schemes and models, by providing abstractions of mesh entities (e.g. elements, faces, edges, nodes, etc.) and their interrelations. The core library of PaMPA 2.0.0 (PaMPA-Core) is freely downloadable from https://gitlab.inria.fr/PaMPA/PaMPA-Core, under the GPL licence. The parallel remeshing extension module of PaMPA 2.0.0 (PaMPA-Remesh) is available at no cost under a proprietary, evaluation licence valid for 30 days. Please contact us in order to benefit from this offer. PaMPA-Remesh runs concurrently multiple sequential remeshing tasks to perform dynamic parallel remeshing and redistribution of very large unstructured meshes. E.g., it can remesh a tetrahedral mesh from 200 million elements to 1 billion elements in 10 minutes on 120 Broadwell procs, using the Mmg sequential tetrahedral remesher (mmgtools.org). This final mesh was used for an industrial simulation. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jiguang Sun [log in to unmask] Date: May 09, 2017 Subject: RIM: A novel eigensolver for (non-Hermitian) matrices RIM is a general eigensolver for computing all eigenvalues in a region on the complex plane. The method tests if a region contains eigenvalues using an indicator, which is based on approximate spectral projection. Regions that contain eigenvalues are subdivided and tested until eigenvalues are isolated with a specified precision. It needs no a priori spectral information and overcomes some difficulties of existing methods. RIM is highly parallel and scalable. A test version of the method in Matlab can be downloaded from the following website for free academic use: http://www.math.mtu.edu/~jiguangs/Homepage_of_Jiguang_Sun/RIM.html References: [1] J.

Applications Advances and Trends in Optimization with Engineering Applications Edited by Tamas Terlaky, Miguel F. Anjos, Shabbir Ahmed MOS-SIAM Series on Optimization 24 xxxiv + 696 pages / Hardcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-67-6 / List $99.00 / MOS/SIAM Member $69.30 / MO24 Optimization is of critical importance in engineering. Engineers constantly strive for the best possible solutions, the most economical use of limited resources, and the greatest efficiency. As system complexity increases, these goals mandate the use of state-of-the-art optimization techniques. In recent years, the theory and methodology of optimization have seen revolutionary improvements. Moreover, the exponential growth in computational power and the availability of multicore computing has fundamentally changed what engineers can do to optimize their designs. Advances and Trends in Optimization with Engineering Applications reviews 10 major areas of optimization and related engineering applications, providing a broad summary of state-of-the-art optimization techniques most important to engineering practice. Each part provides a clear overview of a specific area and discusses a range of real-world problems.

The objective of the 24-month position is to contribute to the upgrade of the conventional terrain-following vertical coordinate currently implemented in the CROCO oceanic model to make it more adequate to ensure mass conservation and more generally to allow more flexibility to handle wetting & drying and to reduce spurious sources of numerical mixing. The CROCO model is a free-surface terrain-following primitive equations ocean model (previously known as ROMS-Agrif) widely used within the scientific community for a wide range of applications from basin to regional scales. In order to extend the area of expertise of the model toward nearshore/coastal flows and Large Eddy Simulations, CROCO now includes an innovative non-hydrostatic non-Boussinesq (NH-NBQ) numerical kernel following the work of Auclair et al., 2017.
