NCSA 1987 Summer Institute at the Interdisiciplinary Research Center

作为对项目征集的回应，国家超级计算机应用中心代表伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校提交了一份建议书，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。NCSA为30名年轻研究人员提议了一个为期两周的研究所。学生在此期间的交通费和生活费将得到报销。NCSA已经在该中心的Cray XMP/48超级计算机和相关设备上开发了一系列培训模块。这将为学生提供矢量超级计算机使用的基础知识。此外，还将举办关于应用于大气科学、化学、物理、图形学和计算机科学的先进计算的讨论会。每个学生将在克雷得到五个服务单元。所有的审稿人都认为这是一个坚实的、强有力的提案，在实践工作和讲座之间取得了平衡。NCSA设施将提供每天24小时，每周7天，工作站/个人电脑专用于每个学生。学员将保留研习期间未使用的服务单位，以备日后使用。通过使用NCSA专业人员和伊利诺伊大学及其他当地机构的研究人员的讲师来控制成本。NCSA提议的费用为90 489美元。通过削减旅费、发言人酬金和有关的间接费用，总费用已减至68 000美元。NCSA还确定了7000美元的本科生研究部分。该中心计划建议在国家超级计算机应用中心支持一个超级计算机暑期学院，金额为75,000美元。

In response to a Project Solicitation, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, representing the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, submitted a proposal to conduct a Supercomputer Summer Institute in 1987. This proposal and eight others were evaluated by a review panel. NCSA has proposed a two week Institute for 30 young researchers. Students will be reimbursed for the costs of travel and living expenses during their stay. NCSA has developed a series of training modules on the Center's Cray XMP/48 supercomputer and associated equipment. This will provide the students with a grounding in the basics of vector supercomputer usage. In addition, seminars will be conducted in advanced computing as applied to the atmospheric sciences, chemistry, physics, graphics, and computer science. Each student will be given five service units on the Cray. All reviewers found this to be a solid, strong proposal with a balance between hands-on work and lectures. The NCSA facilities will be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with a workstation/personal computer dedicated to each student. Students will retain the service units which are not used during the Institute to be used later. The costs have been controlled by using lecturers from the NCSA professional staff and researchers at the University of Illinois and other local institutions. NCSA has proposed a cost of $90,489. By cutting travel costs, speaker honoraria and associated overhead costs, the overall costs have been reduced to $68,000. NCSA has also identified an undergraduate research component of $7000. The Centers Program recommends support of a Supercomputer Summer Institute at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in the amount of $75,000.
