University of Sydney - Job Announcement
by Abel Orellana 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hello from Sydney, My name is Abel Orellana and I work for the University of Sydney. I sit in our research team within the recruitment division and I am partnering with the School of Civil Engineering in the effort to locate suitable candidates for the appointment of a Postdoctoral Research Associate - Computational Mechanics. When doing some preliminary research I found this listserv and thought it would be a great place to ask for assistance from some professionals already in the field. Given the focus of the role will be around research of quasi-brittle fractures in computational mechanics using MPI, I wanted to get in contact with members of this list to see if you were able to point me in the right direction and possibly provide some advice on the best avenues through which to get a communication out to individuals who may be interested in a new challenge (and a move to the sunny shores of Sydney!). I am really looking for some advice on potential advertising mediums, such as journals, forums and associations and potentially any other listserv/mailing list which may be helpful in spreading the word... A little more about the position: As Postdoctoral Research Associate you will be working in a project funded by the Australian Research Council on the study of quasi-brittle fracture. The project aims at understanding fracture and fragmentation processes in quasi-brittle materials, which is critical to improved mining operations and the prediction of natural catastrophes and structural failures. You will contribute to the goals of the project by developing constitutive models and computational algorithms for the analysis of quasi-brittle fracture across the scales. The formulation of constitutive models at continuum scale will be supported by meso-mechanical analysis to quantify the nonlocal effects due to microcrack interactions. The Material Point Method will be employed for the numerical analyses of quasi-brittle fracture at both macro and meso scales. This project is an integrated activity of the newly established Particles and Grains Lab within the School of Civil Engineering. To succeed, you will have a strong background in computational mechanics along with experiences in nonlinear numerical analysis and computer programming. Experience in constitutive modelling, large strain finite elements and parallel programming/computing using MPI will be viewed favourably. Remuneration package: $83k - $90k p.a. (which includes a base salary $70k - $76k p.a., leave loading and 17% employer's contribution to superannuation). More specific information relating to the role can be found here: Postdoctoral Research Associate <http://usyd.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?event=jobs.checkJobDetailsNewApplic ation&returnToEvent=jobs.processJobSearch&jobid=198bfabc-7673-7880-26db- 5b23c1173970&jobsListKey=a68e0fa1-c599-48a1-9c3e-fe181982d9c5&persistVar iables=jobsListKey> .

Re: [Mpi-forum] MPI Forum Survey Question
by Dave Goodell 05 Mar '10

My recollection was that the Survey Monkey website did have a histogram of sorts for these results, but it was terrible in one or more ways. I think we primarily were looking for you to take the raw data and run it through a program that doesn't distort the data so heavily by default. Gnuplot or similar should do the job. For example, it may have been too big to it on one screen with the projector we had in Atlanta. Also, I think that "0" was shown as "1" on the plots for some reason. There may have been more, but w/o having that website in front of me again I'm not sure that I can recall any details. -Dave On Mar 5, 2010, at 4:37 PM, Josh Hursey wrote: > Jeff and I were looking through the survey notes from the last MPI > Forum meeting and were a bit confused by the following: > * Create a compressed version of the histograms for Q.10 to make it > easier to analyze. > > Q.10 was: > How much are each of the following sets of MPI functionality used in > your MPI applications? > - Point-to-point communications > - Collective communications > - Derived / complex datatypes > - Communicators other than MPI_COMM_WORLD > - Graph or Cartesian process topologies > - Error handlers other than the default MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL > - Dynamic MPI processes (spawn, connect/accept, join) > - One-sided communication > - Generalized requests > - Parallel I/O > - "PMPI" profiling interface > - MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE (multiple threads simultaneously using MPI) > - Multiple threads, but only one in MPI at a time > > Unfortunately my notes are woefully sparse on what was requested. > Can anyone shed some light on this particular statement? > > Thanks, > Josh > _______________________________________________ > mpi-forum mailing list > mpi-forum(a)lists.mpi-forum.org > http://lists.mpi-forum.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mpi-forum

I was just reminded that this area of San Jose has extensive Light Rail. It goes pretty much right in front of Cisco Building 9; it's very walkable from the LR station to building 9. Check Google maps -- you can take the light rail from SJC to building 9 (click the "public transit" icon to get directions on the LR).

The SJC airport is also a bit far to walk (5+ miles).

I can't quite parse your question... The designated hotel is a bit far from Cisco building 9; it's a bit far to walk (5+ miles). The SJC airport is also a bit far to walk (5+ miles). If you want to see if you can walk to Cisco building 9 from your hotel, check google maps to the like -- the maps in those areas are fairly accurate.

Is the area between the airport and the meeting one where people can walk or do you need to be in armor on wheels (a taxi)? I will have some time before and after meeting and I am not in the designated hotel.

MPI Forum Survey Question
by Josh Hursey 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Jeff and I were looking through the survey notes from the last MPI Forum meeting and were a bit confused by the following: * Create a compressed version of the histograms for Q.10 to make it easier to analyze. Q.10 was: How much are each of the following sets of MPI functionality used in your MPI applications? - Point-to-point communications - Collective communications - Derived / complex datatypes - Communicators other than MPI_COMM_WORLD - Graph or Cartesian process topologies - Error handlers other than the default MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL - Dynamic MPI processes (spawn, connect/accept, join) - One-sided communication - Generalized requests - Parallel I/O - "PMPI" profiling interface - MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE (multiple threads simultaneously using MPI) - Multiple threads, but only one in MPI at a time Unfortunately my notes are woefully sparse on what was requested. Can anyone shed some light on this particular statement? Thanks, Josh

If you take a cab to Cisco, be sure to ask to go to ***BUILDING 9***. The specific address is: 260 East Tasman Drive San Jose, California 95134, USA This Google map has the marker right on the front door of Cisco building 9: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=260+East+Tasman… There is *plenty* of free parking. Additionally, you should have just received an email from cisco.com with your wifi access code for next week. Please bring this info with you next week. Let me know if you didn't get it. I can re-register you on the spot next week, but there's a small service fee of $1,000,000.00 for doing so (cashier's checks only; thanks). See you in San Jose! -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres(a)cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
