Subject: New Fortran 95 package of parallel multilevel preconditioners
MLD2P4 - Multi-Level Domain Decomposition Parallel Preconditioners Package
based on PSBLAS, v. 1.0, has been released.
MLD2P4 implements various versions of one-level additive and of multi-level
additive and hybrid Schwarz preconditioners. In the multi-level case, an
algebraic approach based on smoothed aggregation is applied to generate
coarse-level corrections. The matrix is required to be square, real or
complex, with a symmetric sparsity pattern.
MLD2P4 has been designed to provide scalable and easy-to-use preconditioners
in the context of the PSBLAS (Parallel Sparse Basic Linear Algebra
Subprograms) computational framework and can be used in conjuction with the
Krylov solvers available in this framework. The package has been designed
employing object-oriented techniques, using Fortran 95, with interfaces to
additional third party libraries, that can be exploited in building multi-
level preconditioners. Single and double precision versions of MLD2P4 are
available for both the real and the complex case, that can be all used
through a single interface. The parallel implementation is based on a SPMD
paradigm for distributed-memory architectures; the inter-process data
communication is based on MPI and is managed mainly through PSBLAS.

Subject: Scotch 5.1 is out!
We announce the release, as libre/free software, of revision 5.1 of the
SCOTCH and PT-SCOTCH software package and library for sequential and
parallel graph partitioning, sequential mesh/hypergraph partitioning and
static mapping, and sequential and parallel sparse matrix block ordering.
IMPORTANT FEATURES: PT-Scotch now provides an interface for parallel
graph partitioning and static mapping. At the time being, target
architectures other than complete graphs, whether weighted or not, are
not taken into account, such that only parallel graph partitioning is
available, not full parallel static mapping. Parallel static mapping
will be available in a future release. Parallel graph partitioning is
performed to date by the means of recursive parallel graph
bipartitioning, not direct k-way partitioning. PT-Scotch is therefore
slower than direct parallel k-way partitioners, yet yields high
quality partitions.
WHAT IS SCOTCH: SCOTCH is a project carried out at the Laboratoire
Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI) of the Universite
Bordeaux I. It is part of project ScAlApplix of INRIA Bordeaux -
Sud-Ouest. Its goal is to apply graph theory, with a ``divide and
conquer'' approach, to scientific computing problems such as graph
partitioning, static mapping, and sparse matrix ordering.
HOW TO GET SCOTCH: Scotch can be freely downloaded, under the terms of
the CeCILL-C license. To ease the development, diffusion, and
circulation of information regarding the SCOTCH project, most of its
resources are now hosted on the InriaGforge platform provided by
INRIA. Please refer to the SCOTCH web page at :
http://www.labri.fr/~pelegrin/scotch/
for more information. People interested in the SCOTCH project are welcome to

Subject: New book, Tractability of Multivariate Problems
New book, Tractability of Multivariate Problems
Volume I: Linear Information, by Erich Novak and Henryk Wozniakowski
September 2008 / Approx. 400 pages / ISBN 978-3-03719-026-5
Hardcover 68 Euro, 98 USD, Eur. Math. Society
Multivariate problems occur in many applications. These problems are defined
on spaces of d-variate functions and d can be huge. Some high-dimensional
problems can be solved efficiently to within epsilon, i.e., the cost increases
polynomially in epsilon^{-1} and d. However, there are many multivariate
problems for which even the minimal cost increases exponentially in d.
This exponential dependence on d is called intractability or the curse of
dimensionality.
The book is of interest for researchers working in computational mathematics,
especially in approximation of high-dimensional problems. It may be also
suitable for graduate courses and seminars. The text concludes with a list
of 30 open problems that can be good candidates for future tractability research.
