In response to a Project Solicitation, the Cornell Theory Center submitted a proposal to conduct a Supercomputer Summer Institute in 1987. This proposal and eight others were evaluated by a review panel. Cornell has proposed a two week Institute for 25 young researchers from June 29 to July 10, 1987. Students will be reimbursed for travel, accomodations, meals, and some incidental expenses. In addition to detailed training on the use of the IBM 3090/400 vector supercomputer and FPS attached array processors, students will be exposed to seminars from experts in the computationally intensive areas of statistical mechanics, solutions of coupled multi-dimensional equations, protein structure calculations, and quantum physics. The review panel found this to be a strong proposal, and found favor with the emphasis on hands-on access to the Cornell computer system. Students will be expected to bring a working Fortran program for optimization during the Institute. The variety and numbers of terminals/workstations for student access was noted. Training will also emphasize the various methods and kinds of digital network access to the Cornell facility. While the initial costs were high, negotiation has succeeded in reducing the cost from $104,200 to $68,672, without reducing the quality of the Institute. In addition, Cornell has identified an undergraduate component of $7000. The Theory Center ran a successful Supercomputer Summer Institute in 1986, and can be expected to do so again in 1987. The Centers Program recommends support in the amount of $75,672.

作为对项目征集的回应，康奈尔理论中心在1987年提交了一份举办超级计算机暑期学院的提案。该提案和其他八项提案由一个审查小组进行了评估。康奈尔大学提出了一个为期两周的研究所，从1987年6月29日到7月10日，招收25名年轻的研究人员。学生的交通费、住宿费、餐费和一些杂费将得到报销。除了使用IBM 3090/400矢量超级计算机和FPS附加阵列处理器的详细培训外，学生还将接触到统计力学、耦合多维方程的解、蛋白质结构计算和量子物理等计算密集型领域专家的研讨会。审查小组认为这是一个强有力的提议，并认为该提议强调学生可以亲自使用康奈尔大学的计算机系统。学生将被要求带一个工作的Fortran程序进行优化。注意到供学生使用的终端/工作站的种类和数量。培训还将强调各种方法和种类的数字网络访问康奈尔大学的设施。虽然最初的费用很高，但谈判已成功地将费用从104 200美元减少到68 672美元，而没有降低研训所的质量。此外，康奈尔大学还确定了7000美元的本科生部分。理论中心在1986年成功地举办了一个超级计算机暑期学院，并有望在1987年再次这样做。中心计划建议支持金额为75,672美元。
