Subject: Generating and checking units of measure in Fortran
In NA Digest, October 23, Van Snyder appealed for support for the
addition to Fortran of features for checking units of measure. Dan
Nagle (Chairman of the US Fortran Committee) and I (Convener of the
ISO/IEC Fortran Committee) would like to explain the difficulties over
doing this at this time.
There are two costs involved in adding a feature to the Fortran
Standard. First, there is the cost in effort by the committees - as
the language gets bigger in response to requests, so it becomes more
difficult to find all the interactions between the features and avoid
ambiguities. Second, and more important, is the cost to compiler
vendors in implementation. Parameterized derived types (PDTs) are one
of the last features to be implemented by most compilers, due to the
cost of doing so. Compiler suppliers have estimated that units are
likely to be more expensive than PDTs to implement.
Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 have added many costly-to-implement
features to Fortran. Compilers are struggling to implement them all
-- those for which there is great demand and those for which the
demand is more modest. This impedes portability, as many developers
will use only the common subset. The International Fortran committee
has decided to allow only very modest new features into the next
revision of the Fortran standard; changes will be limited to the
removal of simple deficiencies in, and discrepancies between, existing
facilities. This is, at least in the main part, to allow compiler
suppliers time to implement all of Fortran 2008. Many compilers have
not yet completed their implementation of Fortran 2003. The value of
further major new features at this time, is unclear, to say the least.
The standards committees are already committed to creating two
Technical Specifications. These are mini standards for features that
are deemed to be too important to wait for the next revision of the
standard. The committees promise to add their features, apart from any
glitches found through use. The first extends Interoperability with C,
and is about to be published. Work has started in earnest on the
second, which extends Coarrays. There is support for doing this, even
if it will consume the committees' resources to define the features,
and the compiler suppliers' resources to implement them. Following
publication the compiler suppliers must implement the features
described by the TSs before applications programmers will see the
benefits. Note that the facilities described are not available by
using features of the current standard.

Subject: Postdoc Position, LIX, Ecole Polytechnique
Postdoctoral fellowship on the topic "Optimality for Tough
Combinatorial Hydro Valley Problems" CALL RENEWAL due to some
bureaucracy delays
A postdoctoral position for 12 months, financed by the Fondation
mathematique Jacques Hadamard through the Gaspard Monge Program for
Optimization and Operation Research (see,
http://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/PGMO ) will open at LIX, the
Laboratory for Computer Science at the Ecole Polytechnique (France),
from January 2013 (the position will be open until it is filled). The
project will also involve some researchers from EDF R&D.
In Energy Management, the Unit commitment problem aims at computing
the optimal production schedule for a hydro-thermal energy mix. This
schedule is then executed to meet customer demand in real time the
next day. As such, feasibility of the schedule is a key
requirement. In order to solve the unit-commitment problem efficiently
in finite time, decomposition methods based on Lagrangian relaxation
are employed. These methods then require that various smaller
sub-problems are resolved quickly. One such a sub-problem is
optimization of a hydro valley (on a price signal). When continuous,
such a problem is easily solved to optimality by any current LP
solver. However, the introduction of combinatorial elements as a
result of the quest for feasible schedules, leads to far tougher hydro
valley problems. This is especially true for some of the larger
French Hydro valleys. Indeed, solving some of these up to several % of
optimality might already require several minutes. Multiplying this
with the number of iterations of the global decomposition schedule,
one ends up with too much computation time for the optimization
software to be of operational use. It therefore becomes apparent that
efficient reformulations, or further decomposition should be looked
into. This is exactly the objective of the current post-doc program.
For more details on the project and updates on the position, please
refer to the project web site:
http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~dambrosio/PGMO.php
The project involves people from the academia and from EDF:
- Wim van Ackooij, OSIRIS, EDF Research and Development (France)
- Claudia D'Ambrosio, CNRS-LIX, Ecole Polytechnique (France)
- Grace Doukopoulos, OSIRIS, EDF Research and Development (France) -
Antonio Frangioni, DI, University of Pisa (Italy)
- Claudio Gentile, IASI, CNR (Italy)
- Frederic Roupin, LIPN, Paris 13 (France)
- Tomas Simovic, OSIRIS, EDF Research and Development (France)
The candidate should preferably have: a PhD in Operations Research,
Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering with experience in
mathematical programming, and large-scale mixed integer linear
problems; experience in using and implementing through the most common
OR tools (mathematical programming languages (AMPL/OPL), commercial
and open-source optimization solvers, C/C++ language).
The postdoctoral fellow will work at LIX, Ecole Polytechnique
(www.lix.polytechnique.fr) within the SYSMO team
(http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/sysmo/) and will interact and
collaborate with all the people involved within the project.
The precise salary is difficult to evaluate. We know the gross salary,
but this also pays for benefits, taxes on the employer's side, taxes
on the employee's side, and revenue tax, which depends on the
individual situation. Experience tells us that the worst case for the
net salary, after all tax, is in the range 1800-2200EUR/month. The
contract comes with funds for buying PCs and for travels.
Please contact Claudia D'Ambrosio (dambrosio@lix.polytechnique.fr) for
questions and to apply for the position.
The required documents (in pdf format) are:
- Detailed CV including a complete list of publications.
- PhD thesis.
- Motivation letter.

Subject: PhD Position, Eindhoven Univ of Technology
The Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) department of
Mechanical Engineering, seeks a qualified applicant for the position
of a PhD candidate in the field of Computational Mathematics &
Mechanics for the project:
"Phase-field modeling of hydraulic fracturing using isogeometric
analysis".
The PhD position is available in the Multiscale Engineering Fluid
Dynamics group lead by Prof.dr.ir. E.H. van Brummelen. This group is
part of the department of Mechanical Engineering as well as the Centre
for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA) in the
department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
The PhD project focuses on the development of a reliable and versatile
numerical tool for the simulation of hydraulic fracturing. In
hydraulic fracturing the narrow shale layers deep below the earth
surface are perforated to retrieve natural gas. The fractures are
characterized by a complex geometry and topology . Recent advancements
in computational fracture mechanics have indicated that phase-field
models can be used to mimic such fractures. The goal of this project
is to develop a phase-field model to describe the hydraulic fracturing
process. The development of a numerical strategy to robustly solve
this model is an important goal in the project.
The position is funded for four years. Candidates must have an MSc
degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computational science,
physics or equivalent, and have a strong interest in applied sciences.
