Many people who attended went on vacation immediately afterwards so a sumary has not yet been forwarded here (hint: see you name in lights for a summary before I have to write one). Many thanks to the organizers for a very good conference. Both Piet Hemker's and Piet Wesseling's families deserve many thanks from all of us who attended. I have received a couple of papers that were submitted to Piet Hemker for inclusion in the proceedings of Fourth European Multigrid Conference. I have put them in a new directory, mgnet/EMG93. See the README.mgnet file in that directory for more information. If I do not hear of any more papers, I will print the abstracts next issue. Hopefully, Piet Hemker will look upon this as free disk space... ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1993 15:31:38 +0200 (MET DST) From: Stefan.Vandewalle@cs.kuleuven.ac.be (Stefan Vandewalle) Subject: Book Announcement I would like to announce the publication of the book: "Parallel Multigrid Waveform Relaxation for Parabolic Problems" by Stefan Vandewalle, in the series Teubner-Skripten zur Numerik, B.G. Teubner Stuttgart, Germany, 1993. (16.2x23.5 cm, 247 pages, DM 39.80, ISBN 3-519-02717-8) Abstract: Waveform relaxation is a highly parallel iterative method for solving very large systems of ordinary differential equations. Over the years this method has been applied almost exclusively for the systems that model VLSI electronic circuits. In the present work the author studies waveform relaxation methods for parabolic partial differential equations of initial boundary-value and time-periodic type. It is shown both theoretically and by numerical experimentation that waveform relaxation, when accelerated by using multigrid, is a highly effective algorithm. It combines a low serial complexity with a high parallel efficiency and it is easily vectorisable. The book starts with an introductory overview of the waveform relaxation theory and practice, and provides an in-depth analysis of multigrid waveform relaxation. It discusses the parallel implementation of classical time-stepping schemes and analyses the computational complexity of waveform relaxation methods. A large number of case- studies illustrate the performance of the methods for linear and nonlinear problems. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1993 15:31:38 +0200 (MET DST) From: Stefan.Vandewalle@cs.kuleuven.ac.be (Stefan Vandewalle) Subject: Vandewalle references @article{SVandewalle_RPiessens_92, author = "Vandewalle, S. and Piessens, R.", title = "Efficient parallel algorithms for solving initial-boundary value and time-periodic parabolic partial differential equations", journal= "SIAM J.

This paper describes an algorithm for the time-accurate solution of certain classes of parabolic partial differential equations that can be parallelized in both time and space. It has a serial complexity that is proportional to the serial complexities of the best known algorithms. The algorithm is a variant of the multigrid waveform relaxation method where the scalar ordinary differential equations that make up the kernel of computation are solved using a cyclic reduction type algorithm. Experimental results obtained on a massively parallel multiprocessor are presented.
