San Diego Supercomputer Center Summer Institute 1987

作为对项目征集的回应，代表圣地亚哥超级计算机中心的GA技术公司提交了一份提案，要求在1987年举办一个超级计算机暑期学院。该提案和其他八项提案由一个审查小组进行了评估。SDSC计划于8月10日至21日为50名学生举办为期两周的研修班。学生的交通费和生活费将得到报销。除了使用SDSC计算机（Cray XMP-48和SCS-40）的实践经验和培训外，学生还将接触到关于计算化学、计算工程、线性代数、数学软件包、网络访问和矢量化的深入介绍。1986年为40名学生举办了研修课程。他们的最终报告和DASC工作人员与学生的个人接触表明，这是一个非常成功的项目。审查小组认为，1987年的SDSC研究所将提供高质量的培训经验，有经验丰富的教员，但50名学生可能太多，无法得到必要的个别关注。为了解决这一问题，并降低成本，学生人数已降至35人。根据小组的建议，谈判已将其他几个领域（设备采购和劳工）的费用减少到新的总额68 000美元。此外，还提议为本科生研究提供$7000。该中心计划建议支持1987年在圣地亚哥超级计算机中心举办的暑期学院，金额为75,000美元。

In response to a Project Solicitation, GA Technologies, representing the San Diego Supercomputer Center, submitted a proposal to conduct a Supercomputer Summer Institute in 1987. This proposal and eight others were evaluated by a review panel. SDSC proposed a two week Institute for 50 students from August 10-21. Students would be reimbused for travel and living expenses.In addition to hands-on experience and training with the SDSC computers (Cray XMP-48 and SCS-40), students will be exposed to in-depth presentations on computational chemistry, computational engineering, linear algebra, mathematical software packages, network access, and vectorization. The SDSC conducted an Institute in 1986 for 40 students. Their final report and personal contact of DASC staff with the students indicate that this was a highly successful project. The review panel felt that the 1987 SDSC Institute would be a high-quality training experience with experienced instructors, but that 50 students could be too many to receive the individual attention necessary. To address this concern, and to reduce costs, the number of students has been dropped to 35. Negotiation has reduced the costs in several other areas (equipment purchase and labor) in line with the panel's recommendations to a new total of $68,000. In addition, an undergraduate research component of $7000 has been proposed. The Centers Program recommends support of a Summer Institute in 1987 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in the amount of $75,000.00.
