The NCSA CSM Group addresses the big problems of engineering and materials science. http://access.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Features/CSM/ Nug30 - Cracked on the Grid. Quadratic assignment problem had gone unsolved since 1968 when it was first proposed as a test problem in the area of applied mathematics known as location theory. http://access.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Headlines/00Headlines/000718.nug30.html EVENTS Ninth IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing co-located with the 4th Globus Retreat, Westin William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 1-4, 2000. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~hpdc/ Alliance Chautauqua 2000 at the University of Kansas, Budig Hall, Lawrence Campus, Lawrence, Kansas, August 1-3, 2000. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/chautauqua/ IBM SP Scientific Computing User Group (SCICOMP), San Diego Super- computing Center, La Jolla, California, August 13-16, 2000. http://www.spscicomp.org/ 18th AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, Denver Marriott Tech Center, Denver, Colorado, August 14-17. http://www.aiaa.org/calendar/aac00cfp.html MAPINT 2000, The 4th Symposium on Multidisciplinary Applications and Interoperable Computing, Dayton, Ohio, August 15-17, 2000. http://www.asc.hpc.mil/PET/MAPINT/MAPINT2000/ 7th International Conference on Numerical Grid Generation in Computational Field Simulations, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, September 25-28, 2000. http://www.isgg.org/Grid_Conf2000/ For a more complete listing of upcoming conferences, symposia and workshops, visit the NCSA CSM Events Calendar. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/EP/CSM/dsc/conferences.html TRAINING IMT Data Mining Workshop: Integration of T&E Data for Time Series Analysis and Visualization, ARL MSRC, HEAT Center, Aberdeen, Maryland, August 15-16, 2000. http://www.arl.hpc.mil/PET/training/IMT05.html Metacomp Technologies will present a training workshop on CFD++, a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics software suite, ASC MSRC, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, August 16-17, 2000. http://www.asc.hpc.mil/education/training/cfd22_16aug00.htm IBM Power3 SMP Parallelization Workshop, Developing and Optimizing Scientific Applications on IBM Power3 Systems, ERDC MSRC, Vicksburg, Mississippi, August 22-24, 2000. http://www.wes.hpc.mil/training/schedule/course_info/ibmsmp-1-00.htm OpenMP Language and KAP Pro Tools for OpenMP Workshop, NAVO MSRC, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, September 25-28, 2000. http://www.navo.hpc.mil/cgi-bin/pet/Scheds/Classes/96.cgi For a more complete listing of CSM and HPC training events, visit the NCSA Training Schedules and Distance Learning page. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/EP/CSM/courses/ RECENT GROUP PUBLICATIONS C.
