Computing Approximate Eigensystems (CApE) The Computing Approximate Eigensystems (CApE) project has the goal of developing efficient methods for approximating, within specified accuracy, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of symmetric matrices, especially those matrices with the property that the magnitudes of their matrix elements rapidly decrease when moving away from the diagonal. Such algorithms will be immediately applicable to non-linear eigenvalue problems with inner-outer iteration, such as the self-consistent-field method in quantum chemistry, and to the development of preconditioners for many other applications. This project is supported by a subcontract from the California Institute of Technology as part of the Academic Strategic Alliances Program of the DOE Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (DOE ASCI/ASAP). Scalable Intracampus Research Grid (SInRG) The Scalable Intracampus Research Grid (SInRG) project will deploy a research infrastructure on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus that mirrors the underlying technologies and the interdisciplinary research collaborations that are characteristic of the emerging national technology grid. SInRG's primary purpose is to provide a technological and organizational microcosm in which key research challenges underlying grid-based computing can be attacked with better communication and control than wide-area environments usually permit. The project is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Householder XIII Pictures Pictures from the Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra held June 17-21, 1996 at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina, Switzerland. This meeting was the thirteenth in a series, previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia. The name honors Alston S. Householder, one of the pioneers in numerical linear algebra and organizer of the first four meetings.
