I have downloaded a recent Tech. Report
Data Structures for Multilevel Adaptive Methods and Iterative Solvers
to the mgnet repository. The file 'data_struct.abstract' contains the
abstract, the file 'data_struct.ps.Z' contains the paper itself as compressed
postscript. I've used a new postscript converter that supposedly generates
better postscript. Please send me any problem reports.
The paper is 59 pages long. It discusses data structures of multilevel
algorithms including implementation aspects. I attempt to treat the data
structures from an abstract perspective and show how this can be exploited
with advanced programming concepts, like object oriented programming using
C++.

This paper is our contribution to the conference
"Physics Computing '92" in Prag, Czecheslovakia, August 24-18, 1992.
It will appear in a special section of the Int. J. Mod. Phys. C
ABSTRACT
We present evidence that multigrid works for wave equations in disordered
systems, e.g. in the presence of gauge fields, no matter how strong the
disorder, but one needs to introduce a "neural computations" point of view
into large scale simulations: First, the system must learn how to do the
simulations efficiently, then do the simulation (fast).
The method can also be used to provide smooth interpolation kernels which are
needed in multigrid Monte Carlo updates.

Following earlier conferences in 1981, 1985 and 1990 EMG'93, the fourth
European Multigrid Conference will be held in Amsterdam, July 6-9, 1993.
The conference aims at providing a forum for the presentation and
discussion of recent research in the general area of multilevel methods.
Participation is expected to be worldwide.
Themes of the conference will range from basic research to industrial
applications, including but not limited to the following subjects:
* computational fluid dynamics,
* reservoir engineering,
* semiconductor device modeling,
* statistical physics,
* parallel computing,
* adaptive computing,
* numerical analysis of multigrid methods.
PROGRAM
The program of the fourth European Multigrid Conference will consist of
invited lectures in plenary sessions and selected presentations in 2
parallel sessions. Members of the program committee are P.W. Hemker
(CWI/University of Amsterdam) and P. Wesseling (Delft University of
Technology)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Contributions to EMG'93 are solicited. Send 3 copies of an extended
abstract of no more than 2 pages to the conference administrator. The
deadline for submissions is 15 December 1992. Notifications of acceptance
will be mailed on 30 January 1993.
INVITED LECTURES
Invited lectures will be presented by:
* A. Brandt * C. Douglas
* L. Fuchs * W. Hackbush
* P. Lauwers * K. St\"uben
* S. van de Walle * C.H. Venner
* G. Wittum
PROCEEDINGS
Invited lectures and a number of selected presentations will be published
as full papers in conference proceedings, to be published by Birkhauser.
The other presentations will be published as full papers by CWI. A booklet
with abstracts of all presentations will be available at the conference.
CONFERENCE LOCATION: AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and well-known for its canals,
bridges, gabled houses and museums. Through the centuries, Amsterdam has
been characterized by its international orientation and its political and
religious tolerance. The city is considered a major international center of
commerce, banking, press and publishing and ranks high on the worldwide
list of cities favored with international conventions.
CONFERENCE FEE
The conference fee for EMG'93 will be NLG 400 for advance registration (to
be paid by 1 April 1993) and NLG 500 after 1 April 1993.
Costs for accommodation in Amsterdam will vary between NLG 80 and NLG 200
per night.

From: Dennis Duke
Subject: Announcement - Workshop on Cluster Computing
WORKSHOP ON CLUSTER COMPUTING
Supercomputer Computations Research Institute
Florida State University
Tallahassee, Florida 32306
Wednesday, December 2 - Friday, December 4, 1992
Organizers: Peter Dragovitsch (drago@scri.fsu.edu), SCRI, FSU
Dennis Duke (dduke@scri.fsu.edu), SCRI, FSU
Uli Hansmann (hansmann@scri.fsu.edu), SCRI, FSU
Neil Lincoln (nrl@nips.ssesco.com), SSESCO
Vaidy Sunderam (vss@mathcs.emory.edu), Emory University
The goal of the workshop is to bring together people who are interested in
the issues of using heterogeneous clusters of computers as computational
resources. This group of people would include:
- computational scientists or other end-users who desire to exploit
the power and capabilities of heterogeneous clusters as an
alternative to conventional supercomputers or MPP's
- software developers of queueing systems, parallel processing packages, and
other software tools
- system administrators interested in both the strategic and technical issues
of running clusters, including in general any kind of heterogeneous
collection of networked computers
- vendors who are developing products to serve this market:
(a) new generations of high performance workstations
(b) new forms of packaging of workstations
(c) new high speed networking products
(d) new products for addressing mass storage and other I/O needs
(e) any other applicable technology
- persons who would like to share their experiences, and especially give
critical advice on desired user requirements, shortcomings of present
hardware and software configurations, successes and failures to date,
overviews of planned projects, etc.
Although most practical implementations of clusters to date consist of
collections of RISC workstations, we are interested also in more general
configurations which might include any number of distinct architectures,
and a variety of new high-speed network interconnections.
The format of the workshop will be to fill the day with contributed and
invited talks, and to have informal evening gatherings designed to further
enhance the opportunity for information exchange. We especially encourage
contributions of a 'practical experience' nature, since this is likely to
be of the most use to the many people who are involved in cluster computing,
and will also be complimentary to the many conferences that stress more the
academic side of computing and computer/computational science research.
Please register for the workshop using the form attached below. We encourage
as many attendees as possible to plan to make a presentation at the workshop.
We do ask that speakers plan to address topics within the scope outlined
above. Please send us a short abstract describing your talk, so we can plan an
appropriate place in the schedule. An announcement of the schedule of
speakers will be distributed as soon as possible. Within the limits of
available time, we would like to accomodate as many speakers as practicable.
The 'proceedings' of the workshop will be published via anonymous ftp. We will
request each speaker to send us an approriate electronic version of his
talk (ascii, postscript, tex, latex, troff, etc.). These will then be placed
on the machine ftp.scri.fsu.edu for further distribution.
Any questions or requests can be sent via email to
cluster-workshop@scri.fsu.edu or to one of the organizers. SCRI can be
reached by phone at (904)-644-1010.
