        The Impact of Algorithms on Semiconductor Device Simulation

                                 or
      Semiconductor Device Simulation as a Scientific Computing Problem

 
Semiconductor device simulation requires the solution of highly
nonlinear systems of partial differential equations in two and three
space dimensions.  A hierarchy of algorithms is used; algorithmic
improvement at each level during the past two decades has made
predictive modeling possible.  Scientific visualization is critical for
understanding the behavior of complex devices.  A video illustrating
some recent simulations and techniques will be shown.

Large Scalable Parallel Libraries and the Connection Machine system CM-5

Scalable Scientific Software Libraries are essential to the success of
massively parallel architectures for the solution of large scale scientific
and engineering problems.  Scalable libraries make the machine size 
transparent to the user.  The Connection Machine Scientific Software Library, 
CMSSL, is designed to support the solution of large scale scientific problems
on the Connection Machine family of systems.  We will review some of the 
software techniques used to achieve efficiency in computation and scalability,
and report on some of the experiences in using the CMSSL in fluid and solid 
mechanics applications.  
Applications using structured as well as unstructured grids will be discussed.
We will also report on some experiences in using static and dynamic particle 
based methods for the solution of partial differential equations.

Frankly, I don't know how all the people who insist upon taking their own cars
into work can afford it.  Sure there are people such as couriers and sales reps
that need to move about alot during the day, but this is Washington DC - the
capital of the United States.  The largest employers here are the Federal
Government, and the various consulting firms that support it, not Fuller Brush.

If I had used my car to go to and from the office daily, I would spend about
$1.50 each day for gasoline, and another $1.00 for tolls.  Over the year, I
would then spend roughly $550 for the privilege of having my car sit idle in the
parking lot while I worked.  By commuting into work with two others, I can save
around $400.  I have better uses for $400, plus the extra money I would spend in
insurance cost, repair costs (due to extra wear and tear on the car) than
padding the coffers of the oil companies, the insurace companies, and the state
and county governments, not to mention the intangible damage to the atmosphere
from dumping hydrocarbons into it.

I disagree with your analysis.  The incentive in retail is the
low price, the bargain.  The lower the price, the greater the
incentive.  The incentive to carpool is the
fast commute time.  You lower the
incentive when you increase the commute time, which is what
would happen if you allowed the large increase in cars
which you claim would be in the HOV lane if it was HOV-2.

However, we are not using facts here, so we won't reach
any conclusions.  I won't respond (do I hear lots of cheers?),

There was an application named "AtomClock" that would
use you modem to dial a number in DC that once belonged
to the US Naval Observatory in NW DC.  Their number
would answer the phone with a 1200 or 2400 baud modem
transmitting the exact time according to the Earth Clock.

The application would capture this time, and reset your
computer's system clock to the exact time.

Overkill? Perhaps.  Fun? definitely.
Does anyone know if this service is still being provided?
If so what number do we have to ring?
I have lost the application that did this little wonder.

I am also curious about using a similar technique to
get the date from port 13 of a TCP/IP box (if there is
one hooked up to the Earth Clock).... how would I
find out the IP address to connect to?

	Well, if you are interested in HAM stuff, that is fine.  I was at
a HAMfest a couple of months ago, and there was definitely a lot less computer
stuff than I have seen at some of the computer shows.

	It does get fairly crowded at the place in Tysons, that much is for
certain.  I have been to shows at Tysons twice.  One was fairly large, and the
second one was roughly 1/3 the size of the previous one.  I do not know why
this was the case, except perhaps there was some other show out there
somewhere that was drawing away a lot of the dealers.

Hi everyone,

A while ago I saw a recommendation on here to use Spring Auto Service as a
good place to get repair/maintenance work done. I'm in the market for a
used car and I want to get some things done on my current car before I
trade it/sell it. One of the things is to replace the trunk lock which was
unfortunately broken when some scumbag in DC broke into the trunk. I called
them up and they said to buy the lock at a dealer and they would install it
for free! I also asked about having them inspect a car I'm considering
buying. Again, they said bring it in and they would check it out for free.
I've never been to these guys before. Are they for real? Do they rely on
word of mouth and keep a customer happy and they will come back again and 
again? I'd like to hear from someone who's actually used their services.

If you can somehow demonstrate that the majority of folks on the toll road are

I can't speak for everyone, but I can tell you why I live 16 miles
from work.  It's called housing expense.  The distance from work
was mandated if I wanted to be able to afford housing.  As you
should know, the price of housing decreases as you head out from
the beltway.  I would also guess that a lot of people live further
out for that reason also.
