Report from Infosys Consulting and HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management highlights disruption created by blockchain pilot projects
Infosys Consulting, in partnership with HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, has today published its latest white paper, Blockchain Technology and the Financial Services Market: State-of-the-art Analysis.
An increasing number of banks are realizing the urgency of the blockchain technology and are exploring ways of using it. Drawing from a broad range of statements from experts from both Infosys Consulting and institutions from various sectors of the industry, the new white paper provides a high-level business-case viewpoint on the potentials and limitations of the blockchain technology for various areas of the financial services industry. Key findings include:
- Blockchain may decrease costs, increase security, transparency and efficiency in various financial markets. Most promising use cases were identiifed in cross-border payment transactions, trade finance and in the Over the Counter (OTC) market
- Trusted third parties and clearing houses could face strong competition due to the advantages of distributed ledgers over existing centralised ones
- Despite a lack of regulation, blockchain will become widespread in financial services in the next 5-10 years with 47 per cent of financial institutions evaluating it
- Collaboration between banks and the fintech sector is essential for improving and popularising blockchain
Jun.-Prof.Dr.Vivek K. Velamur, HHL's Schumpeter Junior Professor for Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer:
"Blockchain can reduce the cost, increase the speed, and improve the security of transactions in many industries and contexts. For example, it is being used to authenticate the source of minerals by tracking diamonds from mines to jewellery stores. Another project in Sweden is looking at how blockchain can be used to reduce errors and improve security of the land-title registry. We are only just beginning to explore the potential of blockchain. It is not surprising that many believe it may be the most important IT invention of the century."
Dr. Eric Günter' Krause, Partner, Infosys Consulting:
"The research shows that the financial services industry has woken up to the value and importance of blockchain. We are certain that the pace of blockchain development will only grow in the near future. However, going forward it is vital that banks, businesses and regulators work together to evaluate and properly integrate the technology in the regulatory frameworks. Only then can blockchain achieve its maximum spread and capability."
The whitepaper research was based on outreach to 81 experts in the banking and fintech sectors. In total, 33 interviews were conducted with experts from the banking and fintech industries.

War and Peace
- $1.99
- $1.99
Publisher Description
Leo Tolstoy's grand masterpiece—a timeless saga of family, love, and loss in Russia surrounding the War of 1812.
"The greatest of all novelists...what else can we call the author of War and Peace?" asked Virginia Woolf rhetorically—and literary luminaries the world over have agreed with her. The saga stands alone in its vast scope and minute detail, its immense diversity and final unity. Set in the years leading up to and culminating in Napoleon's disastrous Russian invasion, the novel focuses upon an entire society torn by conflict and change. Here is humanity in all its innocence and corruption, wisdom and folly, painful defeats and enduring triumphs. Here is the seemingly effortless artistry of a master capable of portraying with equal power the clash of armies and the solitary anguish of the heart. Here, finally, is a view of history and personal destiny that is perpetually modern.
Complete and Unabridged
Translated by Ann Dunnigan
Includes an Introduction by Pat Conroy
And an Afterword by John Hockenberry
Customer ReviewsSee All
The free version is a different translation. This translation is both more accessible and truer to Tolstoy's original work. How a book is translated is crucial. This is worth buying.
No reason to pay
There is a free version of this same title and author
A great edition of a life-changing book!
My only issue is that this edition has a surprising number of typos.
I have been reading this both with the physical copy and on iBooks, and it works great!

Helen M. Fentiman
1922 – 2018
Rock Port, MO
Helen M. Fentiman, the daughter of Guy Andrew and Georgia Era (VanDyke) Long, was born August 9, 1922, in Gallatin, Missouri. She attended Gallatin Elementary School and Tarkio High School, Tarkio, Missouri, graduating in 1940.
On June 14, 1941, Helen was united in marriage to Dwane Clifton Fentiman at the Tarkio Methodist Church parsonage. They made their home in Maryville, Missouri, until Dwane was called to military service. Helen then moved to Parsons, Kansas, to work at an ammunition plant.
Upon Dwane's return from the service, they moved to Rock Port, Missouri, and Helen was employed at George Simons. They became the parents of two children, Richard and James, and Helen stayed at home to raise and care for her two children. In 1953, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri.

The Freedonia Group has recently conducted a study on the $12.3 billion global magnet market that revealed that hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs) is projected to be the fastest developing segment of the global automotive magnets market through 2023.
Additionally, the automotive market has the highest Magnet Value Demand (2018-2023) compared to electronics, industrial and other markets.
According to the study, the accelerating massive demand for HEVs has been a significant boost to the demand in neodymium and other rare earth magnets.
However, the Global Magnets study also shows that the key factors impacting the global magnet market are the rising emphasis on renewable energies and the supply and production of the raw materials.
It should be noted that these same rare earth metals are also used in the production of renewable energy and that the sales and production of electric vehicles are greatly dependent on government-issued subsidies and other incentives. Notably, some governments, including the United States, China, and the U.K., are reducing these subsidies which could adversely affect its sales in the near future.

Can computer pray for the benefit of all living beings? Praying with JavaScript and WebGL
You probably noticed that last 2 years I was not that active writing on the blog. Sorry, I was busy with this study. Let`s make an agreement straight away – this is not your ordinary tech article demonstrating technical solutions (although you will find some interesting implementation details here). This is a study to prove that new technologies don't tear the fabric of time and things that seem incompatible, located in unimaginably distant cultural coordinates can still be touched and the touch is beautiful. For me personally, this study is especially significant. The story began ten years ago when a Buddhist friend proposed making a mobile prayer application. This raised a huge number of questions to be answered before the main one could be: "Can a computer pray for the benefit of all living beings?". Or at least help a prayer.
Prayer… What could be more distanced from the technology? According to most of the religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, prayer is an execution of customs in order to communicate to deities and request something from them. However, Buddhism sets getting rid of suffering and reaching enlightenment as a primary goal and what is very interesting a praying one (not deity) produces benefits for all living beings around. Compassion, assistance, care, good wishes – these are what Buddhist customs are designed to produce. And if other religions could be compared to client/server architecture then Buddhism assumes decentralized medium where benefits produced by every praying human being and not only…
Machines for praying now and then
Prayer of a computer? "A strange, cyberpunk idea," you think. However, in Tibetan Buddhism for many centuries there are several types of prayer machines. The most famous of them is a prayer wheel, which is widely distributed in modern China, Nepal, India, Bhutan. Their time and place of occurrence is not known for certain. Legend has it that the prayer wheels were brought to the world of people by the master Nagarjuna from his journey into the underwater world of dragon-like creatures – the naga.
Picture of a naga on the wall of Chusan village, Upper Mustang, Nepal
Some researchers consider the drums to be a legacy of the ancient pre-Buddhist Bon religion that existed in Tibet since the beginning of our era. Others refer to the first written records of prayer wheels found in the scriptures of monasteries on the border of India and Nepal and dating back to the 11th century. AD, when these machines were already an established tradition. Professor Gregory Schopin translated one of these texts written by a monk under the name Vipulashrimitra who lived in the 11th century at the Buddhist University of Nalanda (according to legend, Nagarjuna studied there)
From continuous effort the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra constantly revolves in the great temple of the Avalokiteshvara, by means of the book case constructed by Vipulashrimitra, and he installed four images in the alms-houses on the holidays.
A typical prayer wheel is a metal or wooden hollow cylinder mounted on an axis. On the outside of the wheel, there is an engraved 6-syllable mantra of the compassion Buddha: "Om ma ni pad me hum", and inside there is a roll with the same mantra printed or handwritten. It could be a hundred of mantras inside of a little handheld wheel and many millions in stationary ones built in monasteries.
Using a prayer wheel is considered to be a powerful purifying practice and one revolution of a wheel to produce the same benefits for all living beings as would the oral utterance of the number of mantras that are located inside the drum. Here what Buddhist leaders and lamas say about the wheel:
Ancient Tibetan Buddhist text entitled "Mani Kabum." 17 c. – The prayer wheel is like a precious jewel: whatever you wish for, it will accomplish all the supreme and ordinary attainments.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche (Dalai Lama student, the head of Mahayana traditions preservation) – installing a prayer wheel has the capacity to completely transform a place, which becomes peaceful, pleasant, and conducive to the mind.
His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen (head of Tibetan monastery of Seattle) – Spinning a prayer wheel purifies our body, spirit, and mind.
Gautama Buddha (in the sutra entitled the Great River) – The benefit of turning the Dharma wheel is that negative karma and disturbing thought obscurations accumulated over beginning-less rebirths are purified without effort. Even other mantras are without doubt completed.
There are a few kinds of Prayer Wheels: spin by a human or propelled by the power of wind, water, and even fire.
An old man makes use of a prayer wheel at the main square of Lomanthang, the capital of Upper Mustang
Stationery prayer wheel in the wall of Kagbeni monastery, Upper Mustang
Water propelled prayer wheel in the Muktinath temple, Nepal
Prayer wheels – a practice used and believed by hundreds of millions, an inanimate object, machine which is able to convert the mechanical energy of spinning into transcendental energy of a prayer which brings a good wish and benefits to all living beings. Could it be done the same way with a digital machine, with a computer? Can computers transform energy into a spiritual message transforming the world?
Prayer wheel was the only hook I had in the research so it was important to understand how the practice works. I started by reading thematic literature. Surprisingly but such an interesting phenomenon is described poorly by Western authors. First book got to me was written in 1896 by Englishman William Simpson based on his experiences traveling to Tibet and Nepal.
This is a voluminous work about circular movements in religion and rites, which is not easy to read because of Victorian English, but it is interesting to observe the author's amazement from the cultural phenomena of Buddhism just discovered by Western researchers. This is exactly Simpson who coined the term «praying machine» apparently being influenced by the industrial revolution just ended at his motherland and the abundance of machines that appeared there. The book depicts all kinds of prayer wheels in detail: propelled by human muscles, wind, water, fire. Unfortunately, Simpson's work has little to do with the spiritual aspect of using wheels and there are no translations of the original Tibetan texts at all. Another work, written by our contemporary Lorne Ladner, who lives in Washington, came to the rescue.
The goal of his work is to popularise practice and describe the spiritual component. It is actually interesting how, using the example of these two books, the path traversed by Buddhism in Western culture over the past 100 years is traced… From an exotic curiosity to a religion that is fully accepted by the society which invests in Buddhism popularisation. Lorne`s book became a great find as it describes how the practice works and contains texts of ancient lamas allowing to make some conclusions on the topic. By the time of reading, I already had a little experience using the wheel, and the method I intuitively found was pretty much similar to that described in Tibetan texts. From them, an important aspect became clear – if water or wind-propelled prayer wheels work on their own and are considered artifacts that purify space – then the wheels rotated by man are a spiritual practice in which the prayer spins the drum, asking for mercy and compassion for all living beings, desiring for happiness, freedom, and deliverance from suffering for everyone. The prayer wheel is the ritual, spiritual activity aiming to transform the world for better and here the wheel itself is a visualization and a focal point.
Visualization? I can do it with JavaScript!
Visualization? I can do it in javascript! Moreover, His Holiness the Dalai Lama announced that the mantra on the computer screen works the same as the traditional one, and from a technical point of view, I was completely sure of success after several years of developing React + WebGL applications.
When traveling in Asia, I saw many prayer wheels, specifically noted the materials used and aesthetics required, so I knew exactly what I would need to create an open-source WebGL wheel that would be a worthy visualization of the practice.
I needed physically based rendering and a good 3D artist who, as usual in developing 3d applications, is 70% responsible for great graphics. Fortunately for me, PBR was at hand – in Babylon.js there is an excellent implementation out of the box, and a few weeks later an experienced artist from Moscow was found, regularly wintering in Asia and not by hearsay familiar with prayer wheels. This was an important requirement – the artist should know the details of the design of the prayer wheels because authenticity is important as if nothing more than a spectacular look.
State management
To manage the state of the application, I decided not to use heavyweight Redux / MobX, but to use that "all over on the blogs" ContextAPI. This I had to regret at first because of the need to write a significant amount of useless low-level code, and then rejoice at developing small cool wrapper for the ContextAPI that allows you to change data in the application state as simple as changing properties of JS object. And make this with nearly zero boilerplate added to an app. As a result, it is a concise and very simple solution for the managing state in small projects. Please, feel free to check out the easy way of managing ContextAPI state.
An interesting and very important task was the absolutely realistic rotation of the wheel in response to user actions. The first problem I encountered was the difference in the rotation of the wheel while dragging by the central part and by the edge. After all, the center of the cylinder is closer to the axis and its extreme point from the axis is located at different angles to the projection of the screen. This means that dragging, say, 10 pixels in the center of the wheel, we will rotate it at a smaller angle than after dragging by the same 10 pixels closer to the edge. This may seem like an insignificant detail at first glance, but in practice, it is a critical nuance for having that full realism of a touch rotation.
The angle A is almost half the angle B with the same projection onto the screen plane.
To solve the problem, we use fairly simple trigonometry.
If when touching the center of the cylinder touchPosition = 0, and when touching the edge touchPosition = 1, then the angle from the center to the point of a touch is acos(touchPosition) , respectively, knowing the angle of contact on the previous frame, you can calculate the rotation speed oldTouchAngle – newTouchAngle. Then repeat it on every frame.
In addition to correctly calculating the angular velocity transmitted by passing a finger over the surface, realistic physics is also needed. The wheel has mass and friction, for the implementation of which current speed is multiplied by the magnitude of the friction on every frame. In addition, we cannot immediately transmit the speed of rotation obtained from the energy applied by the finger, because the wheel has mass, friction and the adhesion of the finger and the prayer wheel is not perfect. Here linear interpolation or the LERP technique comes to the rescue. So the current wheel speed does not work out straight from the speed of the finger, and each frame changes tending to be equal.
Where 0.2 determines the adhesion quality and when replacing 0.2 by 1, the speed will be transmitted from the finger to the prayer wheel instantly. After putting in place the correct calculation of the rotation speed with LERP and friction, we got a realistic and detailed physical model.
From the visual side, we got affected by the artist's lack of experience creating models for Babylon.js. So multiple details as shiness and reflections of materials we had to sort out together. But it was worthy as the result matched the expectations. especially materials and reflections. Meet – the world's first Web-technology based prayer wheel . Plus it is open source. Every accepted pull request is deployed to the app automatically. Want to add a side settings menu, a choice of background image or traditional Tibetan music? You are welcome!
You do not have to be a Buddhist to use the wheel, but there is a prerequisite – you may rotate it only with a pure thought for the benefit of loved ones and all living beings. The wheel perfectly helps in moments of anxiety, calms, and tunes in for a constructive manner. Try using it before an important meeting.
This could be stopped with wheels, but curiosity pushed to test the application on real users. And who can be a more relevant focus group than the inhabitants of the Tibetan Highlands practicing prayer with the help of wheels for centuries? Who can be more authoritative in the matter of Buddhism than a Tibetan monk practicing for decades? I decided to go to the Himalayas. In the process of planning the expedition, the choice was made to go to the Lo kingdom – the protected area of Nepal, bordering Tibet.
Due to the need to obtain permission from the government of Nepal and the King of the Upper Mustang, only 600-800 tourists visit the region annually, which is less than what reaches every year the peak of Everest! And it is the place where the pristine Tibetan way of life was preserved and Buddhist monasteries founded in the 8th-10th centuries still are in service. Let's listen to what the monks of the Lomantang Monastery say about prayer wheels, and what they think about the prayer wheel developed in JavaScript.
Millions of people in the world use prayer machines – prayer wheels, both driven by the physical strength of a person and working without his participation. Can a computer be a prayer machine? Since His Holiness the Dalai Lama has declared the power of the mantra on the computer screen equivalent to the power of the traditional mantra, you can pray using an application written in JavaScript, and what is important – computer displaying a spinning wheel would purify the place sending a goodwill for the benefit of all living beings around purifying their karma which could be considered to be a prayer.
While working on the study, I was many times visited by the idea that programming is very similar to spiritual practices in terms of focus, subtility of the outcome and the desire to transform the world. So if development is the practice that resonates with you, and if you do the practice correctly, then the process brings satisfaction and calm. But is it always like that? Of course, it is not! Perhaps everyone felt at least once that he was engaged in a project which was not resonating with and the written code does not add any good to the world. And this is our, developers, great concern and responsibility – to strive to carry out the practice correctly, with a pure heart, to work on projects for the benefit of all living beings.

The most frequent computations that arise here are high-precision (typically several-hundred-digit accuracy) evaluations of integrals and series, together with integer relation detections using the ``PSLQ'' algorithm. Some recent highlights in this arena include: (2) the discovery of ``BBP'-type formulas for various mathematical constants, including pi and log(2); (3) the discovery of analytic evaluations for several classes of multivariate zeta sums; (4) the discovery of Apery-like formulas for the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments; and (5) the discovery of analytic evaluations and linear relations among certain classes of definite integrals that arise in mathematical physics. The talk will include a live demo of the ``experimental mathematician's toolkit''.16}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}171819\par\noindent{\large \bf Bradshaw: {\em\sf Loosely Dependent Parallel Processes}}\vspace{1ex}\newline20{\em Robert Bradshaw - University of Washington}\vspace{1ex}\newline21\email@example.com}\vspace{1ex}\newline22{23Many parallel computational algorithms involve dividing the problem into several smaller tasks and running each task in isolation in parallel. Often these tasks are the same procedure over a set of varying parameters. Inter-process communication might not be needed, but the results of one task may influence what subsequent tasks need to be performed. I will discuss the concept of job generators, or custom-written tasks that generate other tasks and process their feedback. I would discuss this specifically in the context of integer factorization.24}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}252627\par\noindent{\large \bf Cohn: {\em\sf Parallel Computation Tools for Research: A Wishlist}}\vspace{1ex}\newline28{\em Henry Cohn - Microsoft Research}\vspace{1ex}\newline29\url{http://research.microsoft.com/~cohn/}\vspace{1ex}\newline30{}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}313233\par\noindent{\large \bf Cooperman: {\em\sf Disk-Based Parallel Computing: A New Paradigm}}\vspace{1ex}\newline34{\em Gene Cooperman - Northeastern University}\vspace{1ex}\newline35\url{http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/gene/}\vspace{1ex}\newline36{37One observes that 100 local commodity disks of an array have approximately the same streaming bandwidth as a single RAM subsystem. Hence, it is proposed to treat a cluster as if it were a single computer with tens of terabytes of data, and with RAM serving as cache for disk. This makes feasible the solution of truly large problems that are currently space-limited. We also briefly summarize other recent activities of our working group: lessons from supporting ParGAP and ParGCL; progress toward showing that 20 moves suffice to solve Rubik's cube; lessons about marshalling from support of ParGeant4 (parallelization of a million-line program at CERN); and experiences at the SCIEnce workshop (symbolic-computing.org), part of a 5-year, 3.2 million euro, European Union project.

All this is49through a client/server interface. Other clients such as Python or R could50be possible. The MATLAB, Python, or R becomes the "browser." Parallel51computing remains challenging, compared to serial coding but it is now that52much easier compared to solutions such as MPI. Users of MPI can plug in53their previously written codes and libraries and continue forward in Star-P.5455Numerical computing is challenging enough in a parallel environment,56symbolic computing will require even more research and more challenging57problems to be solved.

However, these systems have one critical weakness:70they are not designed to take advantage of parallel computing71hardware such as multi-core CPUs, clusters and supercomputers.72Thus, researchers usually turn to non-interactive compiled73languages, such as C/C++/Fortran when parallelism is needed.7475In this talk I will describe recent work on the IPython project76to implement a software architecture that allows parallel77applications to be developed, debugged, tested, executed and78monitored in a fully interactive manner using the Python79programming language. This system is fully functional and allows80many types of parallelism to be expressed, including message81passing (using MPI), task farming, shared memory, and custom user82defined approaches. I will describe the architecture, provide an83overview of its basic usage and then provide more sophisticated84examples of how it can be used in the development of new parallel85algorithms. Because IPython is one of the components of the SAGE86system, I will also discuss how IPython's parallel computing87capabilities can be used in that context.88}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}899091\par\noindent{\large \bf Harrison: {\em\sf Science at the petascale: tools in the tool box}}\vspace{1ex}\newline92{\em Robert Harrison - Oak Ridge National Lab}\vspace{1ex}\newline93\url{http://www.csm.ornl.gov/ccsg/html/staff/harrison.html}\vspace{1ex}\newline94{95Petascale computing will require coordinating the actions of 100,000+96processors, and directing the flow of data between up to six levels97of memory hierarchy and along channels that differ by over a factor of98100 in bandwidth. Amdahl's law requires that petascale applications99have less than 0.001% sequential or replicated work in order to100be at least 50% efficient. These are profound challenges for all but101the most regular or embarrassingly parallel applications, yet we also102demand that not just bigger and better, but fundamentally new science.103In this presentation I will discuss how we are attempting to confront104simultaneously the complexities of petascale computation while105increasing our scientific productivity.

One can find numerous154algorithms that address the data replication problem (DRP) each contributing in155its own way. These range from the traditional mathematical optimization156techniques, such as, linear programming, dynamic programming, etc. to the157biologically inspired meta-heuristics. We aim to introduce game theory as a new158oracle to tackle the data replication problem. The beauty of the game theory159lies in its flexibility and distributed architecture, which is well-suited to160address the DRP. We will specifically use action theory (a special branch of161game theory) to identify techniques that will effectively and efficiently solve162the DRP. Game theory and its necessary properties are briefly introduced,163followed by a through and detailed mapping of the possible game theoretical164techniques and DRP. As an example, we derive a game theoretical algorithm for165the DRP, and propose several extensions of it. An elaborate experimental setup166is also detailed, where the derived algorithm is comprehensively evaluated167against three conventional techniques, branch and bound, greedy and genetic168algorithms.169}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}170171172\par\noindent{\large \bf Kotsireas: {\em\sf Combinatorial Designs: constructions, algorithms and new results}}\vspace{1ex}\newline173{\em Ilias Kotsireas - Laurier University, Canada}\vspace{1ex}\newline174\firstname.lastname@example.com}\vspace{1ex}\newline175{176We plan to describe recent progress in the search for combinatorial designs of177high order. This progress has been achieved via some algorithmic concepts, such178as the periodic autocorrelation function, the discrete Fourier transform and179the power spectral density criterion, in conjunction with heuristic180observations on plausible patterns for the locations of zero elements. The181discovery of such patterns is done using meta-programming and automatic code182generation (and perhaps very soon data mining algorithms) and reveals the183remarkable phenomenon of crystalization, which does not yet possess a184satisfactory explanation. The resulting algorithms are amenable to parallelism185and we have implemented them on supercomputers, typically as implicit parallel186algorithms.187}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}188189190\par\noindent{\large \bf Leykin: {\em\sf Parallel computation of Grobner bases in the Weyl algebra}}\vspace{1ex}\newline191{\em Anton Leykin - IMA (Minessota)}\vspace{1ex}\newline192\firstname.lastname@example.com}\vspace{1ex}\newline193{194The usual machinery of Grobner bases can be applied to non-commutative algebras195of the so-called solvable type. One of them, the Weyl algebra, plays the196central role in the computations with $D$-modules. The practical complexity of197the Grobner bases computation in the Weyl algebra is much higher than in the198(commutative) polynomial rings, therefore, calling naturally for parallel199computation. We have developed an algorithm to perform such computation200employing the master-slave paradigm. Our implementation, which has been carried201out in C++ using MPI, draws ideas from both Buchberger algorithm and202Faugere's $F_4$. It exhibits better speedups for the Weyl algebra in203comparison to polynomial problems of the similar size.204}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}205206207\par\noindent{\large \bf Martin: {\em\sf MPMPLAPACK: The Massively Parallel Multi-Precision Linear Algebra Package}}\vspace{1ex}\newline208{\em Jason Martin - James Madison University}\vspace{1ex}\newline209\url{http://www.math.jmu.edu/~martin/}\vspace{1ex}\newline210{211For several decades, researchers in the applied fields have had access212to powerful linear algebra packages designed to run on massively213parallel systems. Libraries such as ScaLAPACK and PLAPACK provide a214rich set of functions (usually based on BLAS) for performing linear215algebra over single or double precision real or complex data.216However, such libraries are of limited use to researchers in discrete217mathematics who often need to compute with multi-precision data types.218219This talk will cover a massively parallel multi-precision linear220algebra package that I am attempting to write. The goal of this C/MPI221library is to provide drop-in parallel functionality to existing222number theory and algebraic geometry programs (such as Pari, Sage, and223Macaulay2) while preserving enough flexibility to eventually become a224full multi-precision version of PLAPACK.

We introduce a component-level parallelism for which the number of processors in use depends on the geometry of the solution set of the input system. Our long term goal is to achieve an efficient multi-level parallelism: coarse grained (component) level for tasks computing geometric objects in the solution sets, and medium/fine grained level for polynomial arithmetic such as GCD/resultant computation within each task.236237Component-level parallelism belongs to the class of dynamic irregular parallel applications, which leads us to address the following questions: How to discover and use geometrical information, at an early stage of the solving process, that would be favorable to component-level parallel execution and load balancing? How to use this level of parallel execution to effectively eliminate unnecessary computations? What implementation mechanisms are feasible?238239We report on the effectiveness of the approaches that we have applied, including ``modular methods'', ``solving by decreasing order of dimension'', ``task cost estimation for guided scheduling''. We have realized a preliminary implementation on a SMP using multiprocessed parallelism in Aldor and shared memory segments for data communication. Our experimentation shows promising speedups for some well-know problems. We expect that this speedup would add a multiple factor to the speedup of medium/fine grained level parallelization as parallel GCD/resultant computations.240}\mbox{}\vspace{6ex}241242243\par\noindent{\large \bf Noel: {\em\sf Structure and Representations of Real Reductive Lie Groups: A Computational Approach}}\vspace{1ex}\newline244{\em Alfred Noel - UMass Boston / MIT}\vspace{1ex}\newline245\url{http://www.math.umb.edu/~anoel/}\vspace{1ex}\newline246{247I work with David Vogan (MIT) on the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations.

Of particular importance is the problem of the unitary dual: classifying all of the irreducible unitary representations of a given Lie group.248249I will present some of the main ideas behind the current and very preliminary version of the software. I will provide some examples also. Currently, we are developing sequential algorithms that are implemented in C++. However, because of time and space complexity we are slowly moving in the direction of parallel computation. For example, David Vogan is experimenting with multi-threads in the K-L polynomials computation module.250251This talk is in memory of Fokko du Cloux, the French mathematician who, until a few months ago, was the lead developer.

If reduction based on an ordering is replaced by343reduction to minimize the number of terms of an equation through another344equation then on the downside the resulting (shorter) system does depend on the345order of pairing of equations for shortening but on the upside there are number346of advantages that makes this procedure a perfect addition/companion to the347Groebner Basis computation. Such features are:348349\begin{itemize}\item In contrast to Groebner Basis computations, this algorithm is safe in the sense that it does not need any significant amount of memory, even not temporarily.350\item It is self-enforcing, i.e. the shorter equations become, the more useful for shortening other equations they potentially get.351\item Equations in a sparse system are less coupled and a cost effective elimination strategy (ordering) is much easier to spot (for humans and computers) than for a dense system.352\item Statistical tests show that the probability of random polynomials to factorize increases drastically the fewer terms a polynomial has.353\item By experience the shortening of partial differential equations increases their chance to become ordinary differential equations which are usually easier to solve explicitly.354\item The likelihood of shortenings to be possible is especially high for large overdetermined systems. This is because the number of pairings goes quadratically with the number of equations but for overdetermined systems, more equations does not automatically mean more unknowns to occur which potentially obstruct shortening by introducing terms that can not cancel.355\item The algorithm offers a fine grain parallelization in the computation to shorten one equation with another one and a coarse grain parallelization in that any pair of two equations of a larger system can be processed in parallel.
