                      NSF-CBMS Regional Conference in the
	                    Mathematical Sciences:

                Numerical Linear Algebra on Parallel Processors

                          University of San Francisco
                               June 12-16, 1995

There will be an NSF-CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences 
at the University of San Francisco, June 12-16, 1995.  The topic of the 
conference will be Numerical Linear Algebra on Parallel Processors.  The 
principal lecturer will be Professor James Demmel of the University of 
California, Berkeley.

Professor Demmel will deliver ten one-hour lectures during the conference.
Topics may include but are not limited to the following. 
    1. Parallel architectures and parallel software. 
    2. Parallel algorithms for dense matrices:  matrix multiplication, 
       Gaussian elimination, least squares problems, and eigenvalues 
       and eigenvectors. 
    3. Parallel algorithms for sparse matrices:  matrix partitioning 
       algorithms, direct methods, and iterative methods.
Professor Demmel's lectures will be supplemented by lectures by several other 
specialists in the field.  These supplementary lectures will cover selected 
related topics such as multifrontal methods for matrix factorization, domain 
decomposition methods, parallel finite elements, graph partitioning, and 
applications.

The NSF will provide support for thirty participants covering transportation, 
lodging and meals.  Lodging and meals will be on the campus of the University 
of San Francisco.

The conference is intended for researchers and those wishing to begin 
research in numerical linear algebra on parallel processors. To apply, 
send a message indicating your interest to Peter Pacheco, Department of 
Mathematics, University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton Street, San Francisco,

full consideration.  Members of traditionally underrepresented groups are 
especially encouraged to apply.
