The project is a renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) EXERCISE (Explore Emerging Computing in Science and Engineering) site at Salisbury University (SU) for the next three years. The goal of the project is to offer student participants, particularly those from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), a valuable research experience in parallel computing¬. The project consists of two components: an online pre-program workshop each spring and an on-site research program every summer. The spring workshop will prepare students with background knowledge in parallel computing and help them develop interest in research projects to be conducted in the summer. In the summer research program, students will work with their faculty mentors to carry out well-designed undergraduate research projects via a comprehensive approach that combines theory, algorithm, implementation, analysis, simulation, and experiment. A dedicated computing research lab is reserved for the summer program. Field trips, social activities, and graduate school application information sessions are planned. The host institution SU will collaborate with University of Maryland Eastern Shore, a historically black college and university (HBCU), and the University of Maryland College Park for multi-disciplinary faculty expertise and summer activities. The EXERCISE project will continue to promote “parallel thinking,” an important computational thinking skill, and further contribute parallel computing resources to education and research communities, including PUIs with limited high performance computing facilities and curricula. The PI, together with a group of faculty mentors from diverse backgrounds, will encourage student researchers to explore parallel computing through parallel algorithms, concurrent software, and multi-core architectures. They will tackle data and compute intensive problems in the selected science and engineering application areas such as public health and global epidemics, sustainable aquaculture farming, human activity recognition, topological data analysis, and computational fluid dynamics. Students will have opportunities to solve real-world problems with emerging parallel computing paradigms such as MapReduce and GPU computing. The renewal REU site plans to prioritize recruiting under-represented and female students, and attract students from local HBCUs, PUIs, and community colleges on Maryland’s Eastern Shore into computational science and engineering majors and the general Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目是索尔兹伯里大学（SU）未来三年本科生研究经验（REU）EXERCISE（探索科学和工程中的新兴计算）网站的更新。该项目的目标是为学生参与者，特别是那些主要来自本科院校（PUI），在并行计算的宝贵的研究经验。该项目由两部分组成：每年春季的在线预计划研讨会和每年夏季的现场研究计划。春季研讨会将为学生提供并行计算的背景知识，并帮助他们培养对夏季进行的研究项目的兴趣。在夏季研究计划中，学生将与他们的教师导师合作，通过理论，算法，实施，分析，模拟和实验相结合的综合方法进行精心设计的本科研究项目。一个专门的计算研究实验室是为夏季计划保留的。计划进行实地考察，社交活动和研究生院申请信息会议。主办机构SU将与马里兰州海岸大学，一个历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），以及马里兰州大学公园合作，为多学科教师的专业知识和夏季活动。EXERCISE项目将继续促进“并行思维”，这是一种重要的计算思维技能，并进一步为教育和研究界提供并行计算资源，包括具有有限高性能计算设施和课程的PUI。PI与一群来自不同背景的教师导师一起，将鼓励学生研究人员通过并行算法，并发软件和多核架构探索并行计算。他们将解决选定的科学和工程应用领域的数据和计算密集型问题，如公共卫生和全球流行病，可持续水产养殖，人类活动识别，拓扑数据分析和计算流体动力学。学生将有机会解决现实世界的问题与新兴的并行计算范例，如MapReduce和GPU计算。更新REU网站计划优先招收代表性不足的学生和女学生，并吸引来自马里兰州东海岸当地HBCU，PUI和社区学院的学生进入计算科学和工程专业以及普通科学，技术，工程，数学（STEM）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。
