infrastructure. The components include a scalable iterative solvers
library Lis, having a number of solvers, preconditioners, and matrix
storage formats that are flexibly combinable, a fast Fourier transform
library FFTSS for various superscalar architectures with SIMD
instructions, which outperforms some vendor-provided FFT libraries,
and a language- and computing environment-independent matrix
computation framework SILC. The latest version of the SSI Libraries
can be downloaded from the following URL:
* http://ssi.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
Supported Features
* Lis
1) Fast quadruple precision implementation using SIMD instructions,
combined with mixed-precision iterative solvers
2) Various preconditioners, including parallel algebraic multigrid
and user-defined preconditioners
3) Support for various architectures, including IBM Blue Gene, Cray XT3,
and the Earth Simulator (beta)

University seeks candidates for a faculty position in computational
evolutionary biology starting in Fall 2007. The successful applicant
will have joint appointments in the School of Computational Science
and a secondary department best suited to their research interests.
We seek candidates at the Assistant Professor level but exceptional
candidates at more senior levels will also be considered. We are
especially interested in applicants who are applying computational
phylogenetics to model evolutionary processes. This includes those
developing algorithms to estimate ancestral values for molecular/
morphological traits, population parameters, and selection/mutation
models, and those working to elucidate the evolution of protein
structure/function, gene-networks and morphological development. We
will also consider exceptional applicants whose research centers
around algorithm development for phylogenomics.
This hire builds on existing strengths in theoretical phylogenetics
and population genetics at FSU and comes at a time when the
university is expanding research in the life sciences through its
Pathways of Excellence Cluster hiring initiatives. The department of
Biological Science is currently recruiting a new cluster of faculty
to explore the mappings between molecular processes and resulting
phenotypes (http://pathways.fsu.edu/faculty/igp/). This expansion
will provide excellent opportunities for new collaborations between
the Computational Evolutionary Biology group and members of the
Department of Biological Science.
A Ph.D. in one of the sciences is required and multidisciplinary
postdoctoral experience is highly desired. The new faculty member
will be expected to participate in MS/PhD degree programs in both
Computational Science and their associated department, to have an
active research program and to be involved in teaching in both
departments.
Those interested in being considered for the position should apply
electronically to http://www.scs.fsu.edu/jobs.php. Applications
received by January 1, 2007 are assured of full consideration.
Applications require the electronic submission of a Curriculum Vita,
research and teaching statements (PDF files preferred) and the names
of four references. Inquires concerning the position should be sent

MIT’S GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMPUTATION FOR DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION
The MIT Master of Science degree program in Computation for Design and
Optimization (CDO) was recently established in response to the emerging
need to prepare tomorrow's engineers in advanced computational methods
and applications. This interdisciplinary, interdepartmental program
provides a strong foundation in computational approaches to the design
and operation of complex engineered and scientific systems.
The MIT CDO program offers a unique, unified treatment of computational
aspects of complex engineered systems. Through hands-on projects and a
master’s thesis, students develop and apply advanced computational
methods to a diverse range of applications, from aerospace to
nanotechnology, from Internet protocols to telecommunications system
design. Career opportunities for CDO graduates include companies and
research centers where systems modeling, numerical simulation, design
and optimization play a critical role.
The MIT CDO program is aimed at two audiences: (1) students seeking a
terminal professional master's degree before entering the technology
workforce, and (2) current or future doctoral students who will use the
content of the CDO curriculum in their research.

Graduate student assistantships available for
Ph.D. and M.S. degree programs in Computational Science
The School of Computational Science (SCS) at Florida State University
will institute an innovative new Ph.D. program in Computational
Science in Fall 2007. The School already has an active M.S. program
in Computational Science.
Over the last few decades, computations have joined theory and
experimentation to form the three pillars of scientific discovery and
technological design. Computational Science can be viewed as residing
at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, statistics,
engineering and the natural sciences. Examples of problems in
Computational Science that are common to these disciplines include
algorithm development and analysis, multiscale techniques, scientific
visualization, data mining, etc. Due to the interdisciplinary nature
of Computational Science, it is essential that a computational
scientist be trained in an interdisciplinary setting. The SCS is
uniquely positioned to offer such training because it has a truly
multidisciplinary faculty consisting of biochemists, biologists,
computer scientists, engineers, geophysicists, mathematicians, and
physicists, with an even broader spectrum of interests to be
represented in the future.
Students enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Computational Science can
choose several areas of specialization. In addition to the major
track, which trains students interested in computational algorithms
which can be applied to a wide range of disciplines, we offer tracks
in atmospheric science, biochemistry, biological science, geological
science, materials science and physics. Soon, we hope to add a track
in Validation and Verification. Students following these tracks gain
expertise in computational issues specifically related to the chosen
field.
The SCS maintains a large and diverse computing infrastructure in
support of research and education. Computing resources at the SCS
include supercomputers, a number of clusters and computational
servers, a laboratory for scientific visualization, a bioinformatics
server and more. The SCS Visualization Laboratory provides high-
powered visualization resources to the FSU community for research,
data analysis of large data collections, and education.
Florida State University is a national graduate research university
which has built a reputation as a strong center for research in the
sciences. It is located in Tallahassee, FL which is situated in the
Florida panhandle and is approximately two hours from some of the
most beautiful, uncrowded beaches in the United States.
Applications are being accepted now for Fall 2007. The SCS has a
number of assistantships available for qualified individuals.
Minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants should
hold a baccalaureate degree in computer science, mathematics,
statistics, engineering, or a natural science. The interested
applicant should submit an on-line application to the SCS
http://www.scs.fsu.edu/application.php
an application to the Florida State University
https://admissions.fsu.edu/gradapp
plus supporting materials which include GRE general test scores,
official transcripts, and three letters of recommendation.
