Bring-Your-Own-Code Workshops on the Portable Parallel Solution of PDEs

                        December 11-13, 1996
         ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton VA

                         April 14-16, 1997
       Cornell Theory Center, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

  The workshops are designed for computational engineers and scientists
with interests in distributed computation for large-scale problems in
PDEs.  Participants will be introduced to PETSc, the Portable,
Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation.  The workshops will
consist of a day of presentations by PETSc developers and users, and
two days of "hands-on" coaching in the port to parallel machines of
codes brought by participants.

If your computational problems involve
   * numerical solution of PDEs,
   * implicit or semi-implicit solution methods for stencil-type 
     discretizations,
   * large systems of (sparse) nonlinear or linear equations, or
     unconstrained minimization
and you are
   * currently developing parallel code,
   * want to develop parallel code, or
   * wish to solve larger problems than you currently can solve,
then these workshops may be for you.

  Both workshops will be limited in size, with preference going to
groups whose applications seem most immediately suited to and
supported by PETSc.  

  Because of its location within the LaRC security area, the ICASE/LaRC
workshop is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
