Subject: Timber Supply Modeling
The aim of spatially explicit timber supply modeling is to devise a harvest
schedule that maximizes the volume of timber cut by "optimizing" a harvest
flow profile subject to certain modeling choices and management constraints
(e.g., environmental limitations, economic thresholds, adjacency
restrictions, transportation access, and harvest shortfalls). The schedule
often extends for 200 years or more, specifying annual harvests in
spatially explicit form for a fixed geographic area (e.g., a large forested
region of British Columbia).
We have made reasonable progress to date in developing a prototype
spatially explicit timber supply modeling system, but there are two main
areas where we could benefit from suggestions for improvement. These are
detailed in http://www.barrodale.com/timber/index.html, along with a more
detailed statement of the problem.
We would be most grateful for any practical assistance that readers can offer.

Subject: WSMP Sparse Solvers Available for Non-AIX Platforms
We are pleased to announce that the Watson Sparse Matrix Package (WSMP)
is now available for platforms other than AIX on IBM RS6000. WSMP is
a robust, high-performance, easy-to-use serial and parallel software for
the direct solution of general and symmetric sparse linear systems.
Currently, it can solve symmetric sparse systems without partial pivoting
on serial or SMP workstations and on distributed-memory parallel
computers with serial or SMP nodes. In addition, it can solve general/
unsymmetric sparse systems with partial pivoting on serial or SMP
computers. Message-passing support for the unsymmetric solver will be
added shortly.
WSMP has always worked very well on sparse systems originating from
scientific computing problems. We have recently added support in the
unsymmetric solver that enables it to be used in conjunction with the
Simplex algorithm and other Linear Programming techniques. This includes
routines to factor a basis, update rows or columns of a previously
factored basis, obtain solutions with respect to the latest updated
basis and to obtain and refactor the current basis. The symmetric
solver also has features to support barrier methods for solving
LP problems. For instance, it provides users a variety of options to
work with small and negative pivots and the loss of rank.
Currently, WSMP is freely available. Please visit the WSMP web site for
documentation, related technical papers, and more details on obtaining
and using the software. Questions pertaining to WSMP, as well as
comments, bug reports, and errors/typos in the documentation may be
directed to anshul@watson.ibm.com.

be compared in a special session.
The objectives of the workshop are
* to improve the general understanding of the application of
AMR to practical problems;
* to provide a forum for interaction between AMR application areas,
including astrophysics, geophysics, climate modeling, aerospace, and
semiconductor device modeling
* to identify issues critical to efficient and effective
implementation on high performance computers;
* to stimulate the development of a community repository containing
tools for structured AMR, beginning with benchmark problems to assist
in the evaluation of algorithms and software and compiler technologies.
