Jean, Thanks for getting things moving as I asked. Have you received an invite to review with the url and id as you mention below? I don't see anything in my inbox yet. Shaun ________________________________ From: org-ad-workshop-bounces(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de on behalf of Jean Utke Sent: Fri 16/12/2005 18:02 Cc: org-ad-workshop(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de Subject: [Org-ad-workshop] reviews etc Hi, AFAICT the only way to access the individual reviewer pages is via the link sent in the e-mail I mentioned in my mass mailing and the crucial bit the "authid" string which differs for each reviewer. I.e. if somebody can't find their e-mail I think I cannot give them the "authid" string we use for the organizers page because that allows to view everything. So, in that case I would have to forward that to the webmasters or recreate the reviewer's entry. Am I missing something? jean -- Jean Utke Argonne National Lab./MCS utke(a)mcs.anl.gov phone: 630 252 4552 cell: 630 363 5753 _______________________________________________ Org-ad-workshop mailing list Org-ad-workshop(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/org-ad-workshop <https://secure.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/org-ad-workshop> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cranfield MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Jean, Just got back to my desk now. I made sure I could check things today and get out my referees instructions but I wasn't around this morning. We are running the risk of missing referees going on leave for Xmas TODAY. Please ask Mike to submit what he has NOW (this minute) and as soon as it appears on the server then flick the switch. Ask him to email you an updated version by the time you agreed with him which you can email to the assigned referees and see if you can add it to the web site. Please warn the referees that they will get an update to the paper withing 24 hours. We really must get the referees going this side of the weekend.

TIA --------------- Fagan Title+Abstract for ICCS 2006 Submission --------- Title: Derivatives by address for Fortran 77 Abstract: Automatic differentiation tools use 1 of 2 strategies to access derivative values. These strategies are: 1) By-address 2) By-name The by-address method is typically implemented by introducing structured types for each active scalar type. For example, scalar type 'real' will have an associated structure type 'active-real'. Using this strategy, all active variables types are changed to the associated structured type. On the other hand, the by-name method introduces an associated new variable for each active variable. For example, the derivatives associated with 'pressure' would be 'd_pressure'. Since the by-address strategy employs structured types, AD tools for Fortran 77 have not employed that strategy. In this paper, we show how to use array access to implement the by-address strategy for Fortran 77. We discuss the canonicalization issues, outline our Adifor3.0 implementation of this technique, and give a few sample performance comparisons of the by-address vs the standard Adifor3.0 by-name. -- Prof. Christian Bischof, Ph.D. Institute for Scientific Computing and Center for Computing and Communications RWTH Aachen University Seffenter Weg 23, 52074 Aachen, Germany Tel. +49-241-8029110, Fax +49-241-8022241 bischof(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:bischof@rz.rwth-aachen.de> , www.sc.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.sc.rwth-aachen.de/> , www.rz.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.rz.rwth-aachen.de/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cranfield MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Automatic Differentiation is the process of translating one program that computes a function $f$ and generating a different program that computes the derivative of that function, $f'$. Activity analysis is important for AD. Our results show that a dynamic activity analysis, checking at run-time, incurs an average overhead of 27\% when all independent variable are active. When as few as half of the independent variables are active, dynamic activity analysis enables an average speedup of 28\%. We investigate static activity analysis combined with dynamic activity analysis as a technique for reducing the overhead of dynamic activity analysis. Jean's familiar with this project, so he can be a good arbiter of who would be appropriate referees.

Schedule
by Forth Dr Shaun 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Chris, Jean, Uwe According to http://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2006/important-dates.html we are aiming for the following targets. Notification of acceptance of papers January 31, 2006 Camera ready papers February 10, 2006 Early registration March 30, 2006 Note that there is only a very small (week and a half) gap between acceptance and final paper submission. This would make it difficult for an author to make little other than trivial changes in response to referee's remarks unless given in advance of that date. Can I suggest the following schedule: 1) We get papers to referees this week, say the 16th Dec. Each paper will be assigned to one of us, as Assigned Organiser, and 2 others. The Assigned Organiser is responsible for chasing referee's reports. 2) Referees should complete a report recommending one of: strong acceptance, weak acceptance, weak rejection or strong rejection; together with any required or recommended corrections to achieve weak or strong acceptance state by Thur 19th January 2006. This gives us a little time to chase late referees and, if we can feedback to authors quickly, hopefully time for authors to improve their papers. 3) By Jan 31st we can formally accept, or accept subject to corrections to be approved by the assigned organiser, each paper. 4) Camera ready submitted on Feb 10th. I'm seeking clarification on number of reviewers required from the conference.
