The Computational Science for Undergraduate Research Experience (CSURE) REU Site project will allow a group of undergraduate students to explore and apply computational science models and techniques to an array of data- and computation-intensive scientific questions, using the supercomputers at the National Institute for Computational Sciences (NICS). This project will prepare the participating students for the demanding task of running scientific codes on a scale beyond thousands of processing units. To ensure cutting-edge science, CSURE will partner with teams of scientists at the UT/ORNL Joint Institute for Computational Sciences, who are working at the forefront of computational research in the areas of mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. To broaden participation, CSURE will partner with smaller regional colleges and with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), to recruit students who would benefit from access to computational resources beyond the capacities of their home campuses.The CSURE program focuses on five different scientific domains: chemistry and material sciences, systems biology, engineering mechanics, atmospheric sciences, and parallel solvers on emergent platforms. The program for each summer will start with a two-week intensive introduction to the supercomputing environment and to the core computational methods and tools in that summer's focus area. Each student will then be assigned a project appropriate for his or her background and skill level, and will be encouraged to work on the project's salient computational modeling problems, under the supervision of a team of mentors and advisors. Activities will include individual and collaborative computational analysis, meetings and discussions with project personnel, group presentations and feedback sessions, attendance at research seminars, and a final report and public presentation.CSURE will provide scientific adventure and discovery to undergraduates from a range of science domains, unified by a coherent intellectual focus on scientific computing. Integrating the expertise of faculty researchers and scientific computing specialists, this program will enable each undergraduate to conduct meaningful original research, through the use of supercomputing tools to investigate current significant research problems. The key mission of this program is to convey the importance of computational science and supercomputer infrasatructure for scientific discovery and innovation.

本科生研究经验计算科学（CSURE）REU网站项目将允许一组本科生使用国家计算科学研究所（NICS）的超级计算机，探索并将计算科学模型和技术应用于一系列数据和计算密集型科学问题。该项目将为参与的学生准备在超过数千个处理单元的规模上运行科学代码的苛刻任务。为了确保尖端科学，CSURE将与UT/ORNL计算科学联合研究所的科学家团队合作，他们在数学，化学，生物学，物理学和工程领域的计算研究前沿工作。 为了扩大参与度，CSURE将与规模较小的地区性学院和历史黑人学院和大学（HBCU）合作，招收那些能够从获得超出其所在学校能力的计算资源中受益的学生。CSURE计划侧重于五个不同的科学领域：化学和材料科学，系统生物学，工程力学，大气科学，以及紧急平台上的并行求解器。该计划每年夏天将开始与两个星期的密集介绍超级计算环境和核心计算方法和工具，在夏季的重点领域。然后，每个学生将被分配一个适合他或她的背景和技能水平的项目，并将被鼓励在导师和顾问团队的监督下研究项目的突出计算建模问题。活动将包括个人和合作计算分析，会议和讨论与项目人员，小组演示和反馈会议，参加研究研讨会，并最终报告和公开演示。CSURE将提供科学冒险和发现，从一系列科学领域的本科生，统一的科学计算的一致的智力重点。整合教师研究人员和科学计算专家的专业知识，该计划将使每个本科生进行有意义的原创性研究，通过使用超级计算工具来调查当前的重大研究问题。该计划的关键使命是传达计算科学和超级计算机基础结构对科学发现和创新的重要性。
