NCSA requests funding to conduct a two-week Supercomputer Summer Institute in June 1988 for 33 young scientists and engineers. The supercomputer manufacturer, Cray Research Inc., will pay for three of these students, while eight will be employees of NCSA's industrial partners. NSF will thus support the remaining 22 students. Selection will be made by a panel of NCSA academic staff researchers. The NCSA facilities will be open 24 hours per day and include advanced workstations and graphics engines and an Apple Macintosh for each student. Access wil be provided to the Center's current supercomputer, the Cray XMP-48, with remote access to a Cray 2 supercomputer with a very large main memory. Students will be taught the mechanics of using a vector supercomputer and will also be exposed to lectures from computational scientists and engineers in a variety of disciplines to broaden the students' research horizons. An award to NCSA for a 1988 Supercomputer Summer Institute is recommended in the amount of $42,062.

NCSA 请求资助，于 1988 年 6 月为 33 名年轻科学家和工程师举办为期两周的超级计算机夏季学院。 超级计算机制造商 Cray Research Inc. 将支付其中三名学生的费用，另外八名学生将是 NCSA 工业合作伙伴的员工。 因此，NSF 将支持其余 22 名学生。 选拔将由 NCSA 学术人员研究人员小组进行。 NCSA 设施将每天 24 小时开放，包括先进的工作站和图形引擎以及为每位学生配备的 Apple Macintosh。 将提供对该中心当前的超级计算机 Cray XMP-48 的访问，并可远程访问具有超大主内存的 Cray 2 超级计算机。 学生将学习使用矢量超级计算机的原理，还将接受各个学科的计算科学家和工程师的讲座，以拓宽学生的研究视野。 建议向 NCSA 颁发 1988 年超级计算机夏季学院奖金 42,062 美元。
