Research activities in computer science and numerical analysis carried out within the Computation and Information Services Directorate of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are highlighted. A technical introduction to current areas of study is given, and recent progress is reported. Current research features a heavy emphasis on multiprocessing, which plays a major role in nearly every proposed new supercomputer system. In addition to multiprocessing, strong efforts continue in some of the more traditional areas of computer science, particularly numerical methods. Specific content of the report includes chapters on numerical algorithms, software interfaces, architectures and networks, future directions, project funding, and project contacts. (DWL)
