Could someone in your organanization work with me to adapt one for SPEC? Basically, SPEC seeks about a 128MB size program that runs for about 10 minutes on a Pentium Pro 200. The data and program should be something of interest to a number of users and developers. Many thanks.

I am looking for an algebraic multigrid code(s) (not theories) that is able to solve general sparse matrices (linear systems). There should be no reference to partial differential equations, no symmetry, no positive definiteness, no structural pattern. In other words, any good properties that one can imagine should not be assumed. Any pointer to such a (non-commercial) software would be highly appreciated. If such a general purpose code does not exist, comments on developing a similar software from algebraic multigriders are greatly appreciated.

I have received several e-mail messages this past month pointing out that the web page for the Copper Mountain Iterative Methods 1996 meeting had developed the wrong file permissions (600 in unix-speak). This has been fixed. For those of you who are wondering, these are the full length papers in this collection: J. M. Banoczi and C. T.

Zhang Multigrid Solution of the Convection-Diffusion Equation with High-Reynolds Number There are also some lengthy abstracts. As an added bonus, the file extension ".abs" is assumed to be an audio file on some (all?) recent versions of common browser systems. This means that I have to make a change in a lot of places in MGNet over the next month. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 13 Mar 1997 18:55:11 +0100 (MET) From: Maya Neytcheva Subject: PRISM'97 SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT Conference on Preconditioned Iterative Solution Methods for Large Scale Problems in Scientific Computations PRISM'97 May 27-29, 1997, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE preconditioned iterative solution methods for - second and fourth order elliptic scalar equations and systems of equations - mixed variable variational problems - nonselfadjoint problems and indefinite matrix problems - inner-outer iteration methods - parallel implementations, efficiency measures, scalability - robust implementations, i.e. convergence uniform with respect to meshsize parameter and singular perturbation parameters - applications for Navier's equations and Stokes problem - applications for nonlinear problems, such as electromagnetic field, plastic flow, Navier-Stokes, and Miscible displacement problems - Biomechanical applications; Helmholtz equation and applications in Computer Tomography.
