NSF Supercomputing Summer Institute: Vector Methods in Science and Engineering

科罗拉多州立大学应项目招标 提交了一份建议，以进行超级计算机暑期研究所， 1987. 该提案和其他八项提案由五名审查员审查 在一个小组会议上。 CSU建议为25名学生提供为期两周的研究所。 导师将 主要来自CSU的研究人员社区， 在校园里使用赛博205超级计算机已经好几年了 在 除了涵盖高效超级计算机的“螺母和螺栓”之外， 使用，将有两个特别强调会议;一半的类 将出席每届会议，会议将同时举行。 一 一节课将讨论数值方法，另一节课将强调 生物和量子物理领域的建模。 在三项提供有关数码205的培训的建议中， 超级计算机，小组认为CSU的建议是最强的。 该研究所提供了足够的实践经验， 其余为同种材料。 各种先进的计算 建筑将被覆盖。 小组成员对 CSU在网络领域的计划，包括访问其他 NSFNET上的超级计算机。 谈判已将预算减少到63，000美元，这是一个非常合理的预算。 价格 此外，CSU还提议将一些本科生纳入其中， 在研究所下的本科生科研经验 项目，费用7000元。 CSU将提供Cyber 205资源 价值五万美元 这是一个强有力的建议，预计将导致 为与会者提供宝贵的教育经验。 一个奖项在 建议提供70 000美元。

In response to a Project Solicitation, Colorado State University submitted a proposal to conduct a Supercomputer Summer Institute in 1987. This proposal and eight others were reviewed by five reviewers at a panel meeting. CSU proposes a two week Institute for 25 students. Instructors will come primarily from the community of researchers at CSU who have been using the Cyber 205 supercomputer on campus for several years. In addition to covering the "nuts and bolts" of effective supercomputer usage, there will be two special emphasis sessions; half of the class will attend each session, which will be conducted in parallel. One session will cover numerical methods, while the other will emphasize modelling in the biological and quantum physics areas. Of the three proposals which offered training on a Cyber 205 supercomputer, the panel felt the CSU proposal was the strongest. This Institute offered adequate honds-on experience with a good balance of intellecual material. A variety of advanced computing architectures will be covered. The panelists were impressed with CSU's plans in the networking area, including access to other supercomputers over the NSFNET. Negotiation has reduced the budget to $63,000, a very reasonable price. In addition, CSU has proposed to include some undergraduates in the Institute under the Research Experience for Undergraduates program, at a cost of $7000. CSU will contribute Cyber 205 resources valued at $50,0000. This is a strong proposal which can be expected to result in a valuable educational experience for the attendees. An award in the amount of $70,000 is recommended.
