<br />Subject: Tensorlab 3.0 Release

<br /><br />It is our pleasure to announce the release of Tensorlab 3.0.
<br />Tensorlab is a Matlab toolbox for tensor computations, structured data
<br />fusion and complex optimization.
<br />
<br />In Tensorlab 3.0, dedicated algorithms for the decomposition in
<br />multilinear rank-(Lr,Lr,1) terms have been added. The new release
<br />introduces a tensorization framework and offers increased support for
<br />handling large-scale and structured datasets. The performance,
<br />user-friendliness and capabilities of the domain specific language for
<br />structured data fusion have been enhanced, and a new tool has been
<br />developed for the visualization of tensors of arbitrary order.
<br />
<br />An extensive new online manual has been developed. A collection of
<br />demos illustrates how Tensorlab can be used in various
<br />applications. Code, manual, demos and detailed release notes are
<br />available from the renewed website http://www.tensorlab.net/.
<br />
<br />The toolbox is free to use for non-commercial research. We hope that
<br />you will find it useful in your research. We welcome all suggestions
<br />and feedback.

<br />Subject: European Trilinos User Group Meeting, Germany, Apr 2016

<br /><br />The 5th European Trilinos User Group Meeting (EuroTUG2016) will take
<br />place April 18-20 2016 in Garching near Munich at the Leibniz
<br />Rechenzentrum (LRZ), jointly hosted this year by LRZ and TU Munich.
<br />
<br />EuroTUG is an annual meeting that brings together researchers,
<br />developers and users of the open source scientific software collection
<br />'Trilinos' (http://www.trilinos.org) from Sandia National
<br />Laboratories, USA. The meeting is a platform for discussions and
<br />information on latest trends in HPC scientific software, massively
<br />parallel computing, efficient algorithms and HPC enabling
<br />technologies, with an emphasis on Trilinos usage.
<br />
<br />EuroTUG will supply an overview of the Trilinos software suit as well
<br />as beginners and advanced tutorials. One of this year-s focuses is on
<br />usage of Trilinos-Kokkos, a programming model for performance portable
<br />applications targeting all major platforms including Nvidia, Xeon Phi
<br />and manycore complex hardware node architectures.  Details can be
<br />found at: http://www.mhpc.mw.tum.de/index.php?id=38
<br />
<br />If you are interested in presenting your Trilinos-related work, please
<br />indicate so when registering or by email to eurotug2016@mhpc.mw.tum.de

<br />The research will be focused on the analysis and design of parallel
<br />multigrid methods in the context of Discontinuous Galerkin
<br />discretizations for unsteady compressible flows. The aim is to design

<br />About 20% of the working hours are for helping several research groups
<br />at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering on code
<br />optimization of their high performance computing applications.
<br />
<br />Teaching duties in numerical analysis of up to 20 % can be included in
<br />the job assignment.
<br />
<br />The candidate must have a PhD in Numerical Analysis or similar, not
<br />older than three years. Good knowledge of high performance computing
<br />is required. Good knowledge of high order discretizations for Partial
<br />Differential Equations (PDEs) and Discontinuous Galerkin methods
<br />specifically is desired. Knowledge of multigrid methods, numerical
<br />linear algebra and computational fluid dynamics is desired.
<br />
<br />Good programming skills in Fortran or C++ and demonstrable experience

<br />Subject: Postdoc/Researcher Position, Dynamism-aware HPC, NTNU, Norway

<br /><br />A postdoc/researcher position is available within the "Run-time
<br />Exploitation of Application Dynamism for Energy-efficient eXascale
<br />computing (READEX)" Horizon 2020 EU project at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
<br />with application deadline April 24 2016.
<br />
<br />The objective of the READEX project is to develop a design methodology
<br />and tool-suite that enables exploiting dynamic application behaviour
<br />in HPC systems for improved energy efficiency. The project will build
<br />on, combine and extend research results from system scenario based
<br />design in the embedded domain and HPC auto-tuning technology.
<br />
<br />The postdoctoral fellow/researcher will mainly contribute to the following
<br />tasks in collaboration with other researchers at NTNU:
<br />(a) Identify dynamic behaviour in HPC applications
<br />(b) Determine the performance and energy impact of changing platform
<br />    settings (e.g. voltages, clock frequencies, communication
<br />    algorithms, etc.)  for each application phase
<br />(c) Develop design time techniques that detect dynamic behaviour and
<br />    determine near-optimal platform settings for each application
<br />    phase
<br />(d) Develop low-overhead runtime techniques that select platform
<br />    settings for each phase based on information from the design time
<br />    analysis and additional dynamic measurements.

<br /><br />PhD/Doctorate Positions in High Performance Computing:
<br />An Exascale Hyperbolic PDE Engine - www.exahype.eu
<br />at Technical University of Munich and at Durham University
<br />
<br />ExaHyPE is a Horizon 2020 project (2015-2019) to develop a novel
<br />simulation engine for hyperbolic PDE problems at exascale. We
<br />especially tackle grand-challenge simulations in Seismology and
<br />Astrophysics. The underlying simulation engine will be based on
<br />high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretization on dynamically
<br />adaptive Cartesian grids. To strengthen our team, we're looking for a
<br />doctoral researcher who ideally should already have a strong
<br />background on HPC topics such as (but not restricted to) MPI
<br />programming, load balancing or performance optimization for multi- and
<br />manycore CPUs. Interest in the application areas is
<br />advantageous. However, we see the ability and passion to integrate and
<br />learn new techniques as your most important qualification.
