As Chip pointed out during the retreat, not everyone hears the same thing in a meeting; therefore, others may have heard more, less or different action items. I offer this as a starter list. Jim Meetings: Systems Meetings will perform a one month experiment alternating between planning and review meetings during January -- Dan. Courses: Need to investigate the CCO course offerings, especially the introductory courses for UNIX -- Karin. Booth Renovation: Current and projected future distribution among types of individuals -- Paul M. Level 1: Journal/Discussion Club: Start an informal journal/discussion club -- Alan. Level 2: CACR Luncheon Seminar: Collaborators (and others) pursuing topics of interest to CACR, Caltech and JPL staff -- Roy (John will brief Roy). Level 3: "CACR Colloquium": Organize a process to recruit distinguished speakers for a CACR Seminar -- Jim. "Tea on the Patio": 3:30 pm, Tu/Th, between Booth and Jorgenson, week of Dec 18 -- Karin/Mary. Recruiting: Prepare a one page description of available positions for distribution and display at Supercomputing 95 -- Paul M./Jim/Mary. CACR Web Pages: Revive the committee (Jim, Roy, Tina, Walker; add John, Karin, Heather) (Arrange tutorial on Netscape for non-users. Need to put more "administrative" information, e.g., travel policy/procedure, for CACR staff in the CACR web pages) -- Jim. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ``Make no little plans: They have no magic to stir men's blood.''

Regarding your two recent emails concerning the newly hired operator, I have these points to make: 1. The distribution list I used to introduce the new operator covered much more than the 5-10% of the staff you suggest. Historically, we used the operators' list to reach the operators as well as relevant staff. I am sorry you are no longer on this list, you once were. 2. Both your emails were sarcastic and I regard this type of conduct as unneeded and unwanted. Please refrain from making such unprofessional departmental communications. This is not an efficient or effective method of accomplishing these types of tasks.

Pool) Subject: Comments on CACR internal communications (Re: new hire) Cc: jpool@ccsf.caltech.edu Status: RO I usually avoid such discussions as this; however, following the retreat yesterday afternoon I am stimulated to make some comments. I guess I have a strange sense of humor (several folk have often made that comment), but I thought Chip's first message was actually funny! The second message revisited a comment I made on Friday afternoon. During the past two years, one month and 17 days that I have been at Caltech, I have thought it strange that there is so little use of newsgroups and email to make CCSF/CACR wide announcements such as, for example, the arrival of new staff. I have found the use of CACR-wide email distribution of the travel, vacation, and visitor information extremely useful. Independent of the current exchange, I really hope that the discussions on Friday will make everyone aware of the need to use both personal and computer-based communication to increase the flow of information among the CACR staff members.

I am so happy to tell you that finally after so many years, we got a full Internet access from Argentina (started in July 1994). I have seen that the book can be accessed since it is in HTML. That was a good idea but unfortunately it seems that my old papers from the C3P group can not be accessed that way. Please tell me if there is anything I can do to fix that problem. It was a pity I had no chance to talk with you during my visit to your group in April 1994 (you were in Alburquerque). However, I have sorted out things here so as to be able to have one month free between mid. Jan. and mid. Feb. '96. I would like to visit Caltech again during that period and reestablish the links with the CACR and work with other researchers and students interested in Combinatorial optimization and parallel computing. Genetic Algorithms Optimization problems in computational biology Space-filling curves and fractals Evolutionary Computation - Memetic Algorithms Parallel algorithms for combinatorial optimization Complexity problems in the areas of protein folding and DNA sequence analysis We are also interested in developing a general framework for combinatorial optimization metaheuristics to run under PVM on supercomputers and distributed systems composed of PCs and workstations. A more ambitious project involves the use of functional programming to develop heuristics for combinatorial optimization under a parallel computing environment. However, I am eager to learn more about the present activities of the CACR and I can incorporate myself to some other projects. I am currently a researcher of the Comision of Scientific Research of our State and a Professor at Universidad del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. In a few minutes I will complete a Curriculum Vitae in English for you to know about my past activities. Is there any chance I can have a position as Visiting Scientist for a month ? I can prepare lectures to give an introductory course to the kind of research I am interested in and to collaborate in present research activities. Please feel free to forward this message to some other interested researchers ? I heard there is an ``artificial life - genetic algoritms'' interested group at Caltech.

I need that letter of invitation even if you can not guarantee office space. You may ask the people at the Department of Computer Science, since I have already sent another message to Prof. Yaser Abu-Mostafa telling him about my interest in visiting Caltech again. Eventually I can use some of the machines at the labs which generally are not completely occupied and also ask Prof. Charles Ofria (at the Kellogs Radiation Lab., and possibly Prof. Koonin since I discussed some of the techniques we started to develop in the C3P and might be interested in hearing about the current status) who directs a group interested in Artificial Life techinques. I am sure somebody of that list would find a place where I can remotely login to my machine in Argentina. You can schedule some talks which I can give at your group during my stay.

Do say! How are you? Well, I hope. Thanksgiving good? I read a article by an English journalist saying that she thought the Brits could learn a lot from the American Thanksgiving day. She found it less artificial/more sincere than our Christmas, and more fun with less guilt as it's non-religious and all parties can partake. I think we should ban Christmas and go for a Thanksgiving-type day... I must talk about work... Please could you send me the Recieved date for article CPE 192 (C-257 Daniel) as it wasn't on the transmission form and I'm putting it in issue 8:1 - this is urgent: sorry I didn't notice before. Also, if you want me to update the Inside Front Cover (Editorial Board) you'll need to send any changes to me by fax more or less straight away, or it will have to wait until 8:2. As we print more of the first issue to use as a give-away when people request a free sample copy, it might be best if we could catch 8:1. I've been in the job 2 months now, and I've hardly had time to catch my breath. I still have too many journals running to be able to devote the time required to 'manage' - it's crazy. CPE will probably go in a couple of weeks to my colleague, Gareth Suggett (I probably mentioned this) who also runs Software; Practice and Experience. But no sooner have I found someone to take on one of mine, than our Editorial dept come up with new titles! It's getting silly! But I shouldn't moan - at least I'm one of the EMployed. Did the CIA approve your passport? Is the photo one to laugh about or cry over? Have you booked a plane ticket? You can arrive at either Gatwick or Heathrow as they are both convenient for the South. As I say, come around the 20th April if you can, or on a weekday earlier or later if it is cheaper. If you have choices but can't decide, give me a call at home or something and we'll talk about it (+44 1243 536 141) - I'm out on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Must go. Keep in touch. Simon.

Performance models for each algorithm are developed and compared with observed timings on the IBM SP-2 and Intel Paragon computers. There are a few minor ways in which the paper could be improved: \smallskip \item{1.} On page two it should perhaps also be mentioned that the recursive doubling method is unstable. \item{2.} The authors should say at the end of section 2.1 that matrix $Z$ is $2(p-1)\times 2(p-1)$. \item{3.} In step 4 on page 5 it says that ``$Z$ is a $2(p-1)$ dimensional tridiaginal matrix,'' but the $Z$ shown on page 6 is not tridiagonal. The authors need to make this clearer. \item{4.} On page 7 it says that step 5 of the PDD algorithm requires $4(n-1)$ sequential operations. It is not clear to me where these operations arise. \item{5.} The authors should say at the end of section 2.4 whether $j$ can be chosen automatically ina robust way. \item{6.} It is unfortunate that the authors did not have larger machines available to them so they could investigate the scalability of the algorithms more thoroughly. \vfill\eject \noindent {\bf G:\enskip Presentations Changes} \bigskip \line{\hbox to1.5truein{Paper number:\enskip C279 \hfil}\hfil\hbox to1.5truein{Referee Code:\enskip \hfil}} \medskip \noindent Title Changes: \smallskip \noindent Abstract Changes: \vskip 1.5truein \noindent Reference Changes/Additions: \smallskip\noindent \vskip 1.5truein \noindent Other Comments (Grammar, etc.): \smallskip\noindent English needs some improvement. \bye ------- End of Forwarded Message From gcf@boss.npac.syr.edu Fri Dec 8 08:56:51 1995 Received: from boss.npac.syr.edu (boss.npac.syr.edu [128.230.117.20]) by xipe-totec.ccsf.caltech.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id IAA18455 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 08:56:48 -0800 Received: from localhost (gcf@localhost) by boss.npac.syr.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id LAA05239 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 11:56:46 -0500 Message-Id: <199512081656.LAA05239@boss.npac.syr.edu> X-Authentication-Warning: boss.npac.syr.edu: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol Reply-to: gcf@spica-gw.npac.syr.edu To: kea@sampson.ccsf.caltech.edu Subject: C291 Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 11:56:46 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox Status: RO Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Phone 3154432163 (Npac central 3154431723) Fax 3154434741 ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 11:00:27 -0500 From: ranka@cis.ufl.edu To: gcf@nova.npac.syr.edu Subject: CPR Review CONCURRENCY Practice and Experience REFEREE'S REPORT A: General Information Please return to: Geoffrey C.

Referee: Sanjay Ranka Name: Address: email: Signature: Referee Recommendations: Reject the paper E: Referee's Comments (For Editor Only) Paper number: F: Referee's Comments (For Author and Editor) Paper Number: Positives: 1. The paper presents results for real applications on real machines. Negatives: 1. The paper is poorly written 2. Looking at the experimental results it seems to me that both the methods (global and local) parallelize reasonably similarly. The local method has a slight edge over the global method due to improved locality but suffers from coupling problems as well as problems with mapping when the number of processors is small (The algorithm for processor mapping given in section 4 assumes that each task is assigned to integral number of processors. However, as the results in Figure 10 show as the number of processors increase the ratio of the performance of the two methods is close to sequential work ratio for both models as given in Table 2. I would suggest the authors to revise the paper considerably in a form that the benefits and disdavantages of the different method are clear to the reader. In its current form there is lot of mathematical details which need to be presented more effectively. Also a table like Figure 10 is meaningless without absolute performance for each of the methods for different number of processors. May be it is not effectively to use 512 methods for any of the two methods.

The following changes need to be made for improving the overall presentation 1. The title, abstract and introduction should reflect on both communication and computation benchmarks rather than only the communication aspects. 2. The current Figure 5 would show a better distinction between different machines if a linear instead of a log scale is used. 3. Ideally one would like to have a figure with three coordinate axes: Latency, bandwidth and raw performance (say for Linpack 100) and a mapping of all the architectures. Since this cannot be easily achieved it may be worth having three graphs (latency-bandwidth, bandwidth-linpack 100 and latency-linpack 100) G: Presentations Changes Paper Number: Title Changes: Abstract Changes: Reference Changes/Additions: Other Comments (Grammar, etc.): ------- End of Forwarded Message From gcf@boss.npac.syr.edu Fri Dec 8 09:13:10 1995 Received: from boss.npac.syr.edu (boss.npac.syr.edu [128.230.117.20]) by xipe-totec.ccsf.caltech.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id JAA18608 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 09:13:07 -0800 Received: from localhost (gcf@localhost) by boss.npac.syr.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA05345 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 12:13:01 -0500 Message-Id: <199512081713.MAA05345@boss.npac.syr.edu> X-Authentication-Warning: boss.npac.syr.edu: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol Reply-to: gcf@spica-gw.npac.syr.edu To: kea@sampson.ccsf.caltech.edu Subject: C285 Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 12:13:01 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox Status: RO Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Phone 3154432163 (Npac central 3154431723) Fax 3154434741 ------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 07 Dec 1995 14:13:43 -0500 From: ranka@cis.ufl.edu To: gcf@nova.npac.syr.edu Subject: Review for CPE >From citlib@ccsf.caltech.edu Thu Dec 7 13:40:16 1995 Date: Thu, 7 Dec 1995 10:39:37 -0800 From: CITLIB Subject: send referee.scr for cpande Content-Length: 2494 This distribution comes WITH NO WARRANTY.

Although the experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of this method, I have several reservations which the authors should address in the final version 1. The authors have only compared their method with no load balancing. How does their method compare with a simple dimensional exchange. Are there any advantages? 2. The details for the thinning applications aer not presented. Are the authors using a dense array representation or a sparse array representation. The latter may be useful for load balancing but give up advantages of a dense array representation. I also feel that the computational cost per pixel for thinning is small enough that a remapping should deteroriate the performance significantly G: Presentations Changes Paper Number: Title Changes: Abstract Changes: Reference Changes/Additions: Other Comments (Grammar, etc.): ------- End of Forwarded Message From gcf@boss.npac.syr.edu Fri Dec 8 09:14:13 1995 Received: from boss.npac.syr.edu (boss.npac.syr.edu [128.230.117.20]) by xipe-totec.ccsf.caltech.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id JAA18633 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 09:14:10 -0800 Received: from localhost (gcf@localhost) by boss.npac.syr.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA05357 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 12:14:08 -0500 Message-Id: <199512081714.MAA05357@boss.npac.syr.edu> X-Authentication-Warning: boss.npac.syr.edu: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol Reply-to: gcf@spica-gw.npac.syr.edu To: kea@sampson.ccsf.caltech.edu Subject: C282 Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 12:14:08 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox Status: RO Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Phone 3154432163 (Npac central 3154431723) Fax 3154434741 ------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 07 Dec 1995 14:13:54 -0500 From: ranka@cis.ufl.edu To: gcf@nova.npac.syr.edu Subject: Review for CPE >From citlib@ccsf.caltech.edu Thu Dec 7 13:40:16 1995 Date: Thu, 7 Dec 1995 10:39:37 -0800 From: CITLIB Subject: send referee.scr for cpande Content-Length: 2494 This distribution comes WITH NO WARRANTY.

Many of these detailed simulation programs use the GEANT detector simulation package. To help users harness the power of many CPUs at once, I have parallelized GEANT. I did this at the (generally) coarse grain level of an event, utilising message passing in MPI. I will report on the task involved and the result. Another intensive area of computational work at CERN is the modeling of the motion of particle bunches in the accelerators. I will give an overview of the computing and turnaround time requirements of the several models used (to simulate at dif- ferent levels of detail). I will also talk about the different methods I am using to parallelize them, that include HPF and MPI. ----- End Included Message ----- From gcf@boss.npac.syr.edu Fri Dec 8 13:53:46 1995 Received: from boss.npac.syr.edu (boss.npac.syr.edu [128.230.117.20]) by xipe-totec.ccsf.caltech.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id NAA20940 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 13:53:41 -0800 Received: from localhost (gcf@localhost) by boss.npac.syr.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id QAA05924 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 16:53:35 -0500 Message-Id: <199512082153.QAA05924@boss.npac.syr.edu> X-Authentication-Warning: boss.npac.syr.edu: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol Reply-to: gcf@spica-gw.npac.syr.edu To: kea@sampson.ccsf.caltech.edu Subject: Review Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 16:53:34 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox Status: RO Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Phone 3154432163 (Npac central 3154431723) Fax 3154434741 ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 15:17:28 -0600 From: grout@csrd.uiuc.edu (John R. Grout) To: gcf@npac.syr.edu Subject: Review for Concurrency: Practice and Experience Paper # C296: "Interprocedural Array Side Effect Analysis", Paul Havlak, Ken Kennedy, and Hariklia Tsalapatas. Referee: email: j-grout@uiuc.edu smail: John R. Grout Center for Supercomputing Research and Development 1308 W. Main St. Urbana, IL 61801 Referee Recommendations: (2) Accept, provided changes suggested as made Referee Comments (For Editor Only) If the presentation changes suggested are made, it should be a reasonably good paper. However, I have _never_ seen as gross a format error as a duplicate section before this... and I'm left to wonder how involved the senior author(s) were with its preparation. Referee Comments (For Author and Editor): The paper seems sound... but there were many format errors, including a whole duplicate section (Section 4). In addition, Figure 8 appears to have been abstracted from a more detailed work, leaving it unusable with substantial modification. Dependence tests which handle symbolic constants need to know whether a symbolic constant multiplying a loop variable in an array subscript is positive or negative. Though Figure 4 introduces the standard Banerjee construct (superscript + and - forms) to deal with this, and Figure 9 points out that two corresponding symbolic constant boundaries must be comparable for an intersection of simple sections to be exact, it is unclear from the paper just how much support their technique (or its current or planned implementation) provides for symbolic constants (i.e., do they generate symbolic "min" and "max" operations... if so, when do they need to resolve them... if not, could positive and negative constants passed in from different call sites cause problems... would such problems be eliminated by cloning?) Section 9.2 is full of words, but vague on detail. More specific examples to explain what isn't being handled (e.g., showing snippets of code from poteng in mdg) would be helpful. Format Title Changes: None Abstract Changes: None Reference Changes/Additions: If work from elsewhere is used in the handling of symbolic constants, it should be cited... especially given the number of citations to Li and Yew's work using Parafrase-2, which deal with them _far_ less than more recent work at CSRD using Polaris (e.g., Blume and Eigenmann, Tu and Padua). Other Comments (Grammar, etc.) p. 5 The "3" in the words "dependence 3 and interprocedural transformation" is a typo. p. 9 For quite a while, I was confused by the use of the TeX equivalent of "+/-" in Definition 3.1. When I worked out an example, I realized that _both_ kinds of diagonal boundaries (x_i + x_j, x_i - x_j) may be used for the same pair of coordinate axes... I had thought it meant _either_ could be used. I would suggest replacing "x_i +/- x_j = c" with "x_i + x_j = c, x_i - x_j = c"... at least here... to make that clearer. p. 10 There's a stretch of words "Also it 2 redundancy information for each simple boundary" which contains a typo... there seems to be a missing word replaced by "2"... perhaps "computed". p. 11 (Figure 4) There's a fair amount of confusion in this figure. The layout for the "input" information is poor. BUILD_SIMPLE_SECTION Between the two different lines numbered "1" (was this intentional?), I still had trouble figuring out what was going on. Perhaps you could say something like "for each function \psi which appears in a simple boundary pair" instead. Line 4 has a typo (probably a missing backslash for the second psi). LBOUND Line 6 should be passing psi-prime, not psi. UBOUND Line 6 should be passing psi-prime, not psi. p. 12, Figure 5. This figure is good. For the example I worked out, the inequalities for each redundant boundary were all equalities... so the redundant boundaries were tight. However, I don't know if the converse is true... and I couldn't find such a statement, or any explanation of how to tighten a redundant boundary (see comments for Figure 12 on p. 19). p. 15, Figure 8. This figure has far too many calls to routines for which no explanation is given. Those calls should be rewritten as psuedo-code English which explain what is going on, pseudo-code should be given for the called routines (which seems like overkill), or the figure should be eliminated entirely (Figure 6 seems to indicate the ideas pretty well). p. 17. There is a typo "QSD" in the line just below Definition 3.9. On the last line, "sets the intersection 35 \bot", "35" seems to be in place of a missing word... perhaps "to". Section 4 (contained in p. 18 through p. 21, including Figure 13). This is a total duplication of the first part of Section 2. One of the two should be scrapped. In any case, Figures 11 and 12 (which are not from Section 4) should be kept. p. 19, Figure 12. Though the figure explains the iteration process to tighten all redundant boundaries for a simple section (presumably which has been created by intersection), it doesn't explain how an individual boundary is tightened... and, as far as I could tell, that isn't explained anywhere else either. p. 30 The display math figure is rather cramped in layout... I'd suggest using two different sizes of union and intersection (as Tex provides for). ------- End of Forwarded Message From gcf@boss.npac.syr.edu Fri Dec 8 13:54:18 1995 Received: from boss.npac.syr.edu (boss.npac.syr.edu [128.230.117.20]) by xipe-totec.ccsf.caltech.edu (8.6.12/8.6.4) with ESMTP id NAA20945 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 13:54:15 -0800 Received: from localhost (gcf@localhost) by boss.npac.syr.edu (940816.SGI.8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id QAA05935 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 16:54:13 -0500 Message-Id: <199512082154.QAA05935@boss.npac.syr.edu> X-Authentication-Warning: boss.npac.syr.edu: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol Reply-to: gcf@spica-gw.npac.syr.edu To: kea@sampson.ccsf.caltech.edu Subject: Cleanup addresses Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 16:54:12 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox Status: RO Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Phone 3154432163 (Npac central 3154431723) Fax 3154434741 ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 15:21:22 -0600 From: grout@csrd.uiuc.edu (John R.

PAUL -------------------------------------- Date: 12/1/95 11:19 AM From: John C. Toole As many of you may already know, the NCO will be physically moving to the NSF building on December 12th, the week after SC'95. Yes, it will take a little time to get settled, but a lot of people at both ends have been working hard to make it happen. I want to personally invite everyone to visit and interact with us as often as possible - we'll schedule an open house sometime in the future, but you are welcome anytime! Email and WWW addresses will remain exactly the same, and we will do everything to make the move as transparent as possible. We will be in Suites 665 and 690, and our telephone numbers will change, effective December 12th (see below). There will also be some support staff changes. Most notably, Jean Diehl and Shannon Uncango will not be able to move with us. As you know, both have done a great job for all the agencies at the NCO - they've been superb in making it all work! In addition, they are continuing to help us with the transition. Vicki Harris, a new employee of our support contractor, will be assuming many new responsibilities of the new office as the operation spins up. The NCO staff will be giving you periodic updates as some new people come on board as we get settled.
