IGERT Full Proposal: Interdisciplinary Traineeship in High Performance Computing Applications

9987598威廉·哈斯-韦恩州立大学IGERT：高性能计算应用的跨学科培训这一综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖支持建立一个多学科的高性能计算教育和研究研究生培训计划。这个项目将把我们新的科学计算研究所正在进行的跨学科研究工作整合到一个合作培训计划中。该计划将建立在现有的高性能计算相关项目的基础上，其中许多项目与行业合作，以在科学计算领域形成协调一致的推动力，这是韦恩州立大学日益增长的研究实力。计算机密集型、数据密集型和实时计算方面的活跃项目将形成核心研究，这将成为新的跨学科硕士/博士课程的标志。课程将包括由大学和工业界参与者开发的一系列关于科学计算的综合实践(讲座和实验室)课程和研讨会。毕业论文培训将以团队合作为基础，学生们在一个主要的跨学科项目的不同组成部分上单独工作。(I)医学、遗传学和生物化学，(Ii)化学、物理和材料科学，以及(Iii)汽车和航空航天系统。这一研究教育计划得到了业界的积极支持，特别是福特、IBM、SGI、SUN和CFD Research，他们将提供大量资源作为启动该计划的匹配，并将参加该项目的讲座、研究培训和监督/评估。韦恩州立大学将承诺超过2,320,000美元的资源来支持这一计划。为了确保这一培训计划的成功，并在科学计算领域的众多机会中保持竞争力，韦恩州立大学正在补充毕业生津贴，每年发放总计23,266美元的津贴。有了这笔津贴和培训计划的力量，我们将能够招收优秀的学生。IGERT是一个NSF范围的计划，旨在应对培养具有多学科背景的博士科学家和工程师的挑战，以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能。该项目旨在通过建立新的、创新的研究生教育和培训模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第三年，19个机构被授予奖项，这些项目共同涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。这一具体奖项的知识焦点位于计算机和信息科学与工程、数学和物理科学、工程、生物科学以及教育和人力资源理事会。

9987598William Hase - Wayne State UniversityIGERT: Interdisciplinary Traineeship in High Performance Computing ApplicationsThis Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research in high performance computing. This project will integrate ongoing interdisciplinary research efforts in our new Institute for Scientific Computing into a cooperative traineeship program. The program will build upon existing high-performance computing related projects, many with industrial collaboration, to develop a concerted thrust in the area of scientific computing, a growing research strength at Wayne State University. Active programs in computer intensive, data intensive, and real-time computing will form the core research that will be the hallmark of a new interdisciplinary Masters/Ph.D. curriculum. The curriculum will consist of an integrated series of hands-on (lecture and laboratory) courses and seminars on scientific computing developed by university and industrial participants. Graduate thesis training will be based on teaming where students work individually on different components of a major interdisciplinary project. Programs using high performance computing in the following strategically important areas are envisioned: (i) Medicine, Genetics, and Biochemistry, (ii) Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science, and (iii) Automotive and Aerospace Systems. This research-educational initiative has the active support of industry, particularly Ford, IBM, SGI, SUN, and CFD Research, who will provide substantial resources as a match to initiate this program and who will participate in lectures, research training, and oversight/assessment of the project. Wayne State University will commit more than $2,320,000 in resources to support this program. To ensure the success of this training program and to be competitive with the many opportunities in scientific computing, Wayne State University is supplementing the graduate stipends to give a total stipend of $23,266/year. With this stipend and the strength of the training program, we will be able to recruit outstanding students.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Education and Human Resources.
