9322321 Guckenheimer The National Science Foundation's initiative in high performance computing has had a tremendous impact on scientific opportunities for the national research community. The Theory Center's Supercomputing Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) complements this initiative by extending the opportunities of computational research to undergraduate students. By providing students with an early research experience, this program is an effective mean of motivating students to pursue careers and graduate education in mathematics, science, and engineering. Through this program, undergraduate students will investigate problems in an area of computational science research under the joint guidance of a Cornell University faculty member and a member of the Cornell Theory Center's scientific and technical staff. While working on their research projects, the students will not only participate in scientific research but will also learn about computational methods and receive training in high performance computing techniques. The research projects will take advantage of the advanced computational tools of the Theory Center, including the use of scalable parallel processing and visualization tools. The research experience will be enhanced by the interaction among students from diverse institutions with multidisciplinary backgrounds and research projects. Building on longstanding relationships, the Center will aggressively recruit from historically black colleges and women's colleges and also target thoseinstitutions which lack a strong research orientation. Students at colleges and universities with otherwise limited computational research resources will thus have the opportunity to undertake significant research projects as part of their undergraduate education.

9322321 Guckenheimer 美国国家科学基金会在高性能计算方面的举措对国家研究界的科学机会产生了巨大影响。理论中心的本科生研究超级计算计划 (SPUR) 通过向本科生提供计算研究的机会来补充这一举措。通过为学生提供早期研究经验，该项目是激励学生追求数学、科学和工程方面的职业和研究生教育的有效手段。 通过该项目，本科生将在康奈尔大学教职员工和康奈尔理论中心科学技术人员的联合指导下研究计算科学研究领域的问题。在开展研究项目时，学生不仅将参与科学研究，还将学习计算方法并接受高性能计算技术的培训。研究项目将利用理论中心的先进计算工具，包括使用可扩展的并行处理和可视化工具。 来自具有多学科背景和研究项目的不同机构的学生之间的互动将增强研究经验。在长期合作关系的基础上，该中心将积极从历史悠久的黑人大学和女子学院招募人才，并瞄准那些缺乏强有力的研究方向的机构。因此，计算研究资源有限的学院和大学的学生将有机会承担重要的研究项目，作为本科教育的一部分。
