1988 Summer Institute, National Center for Supercomputing Applications

NCSA要求提供资金，以便在1988年6月为33名年轻科学家和工程师举办为期两周的超级计算机夏季研究所。超级计算机制造商克雷研究公司(Cray Research Inc.)将支付其中三名学生的费用，而八名学生将是NCSA工业合作伙伴的员工。因此，国家科学基金会将资助剩下的22名学生。选拔将由NCSA学术人员研究人员组成的小组进行。NCSA的设施将每天24小时开放，包括先进的工作站和图形引擎，以及为每个学生提供的Apple Macintosh。中心目前的超级计算机Cray XMP-48将提供访问权限，远程访问具有非常大主存的Cray 2超级计算机。学生将学习使用向量超级计算机的机械原理，还将听取不同学科的计算科学家和工程师的讲座，以拓宽学生的研究视野。建议将1988年超级计算机夏季研究所的奖金授予NCSA，金额为42,062美元。

NCSA requests funding to conduct a two-week Supercomputer Summer Institute in June 1988 for 33 young scientists and engineers. The supercomputer manufacturer, Cray Research Inc., will pay for three of these students, while eight will be employees of NCSA's industrial partners. NSF will thus support the remaining 22 students. Selection will be made by a panel of NCSA academic staff researchers. The NCSA facilities will be open 24 hours per day and include advanced workstations and graphics engines and an Apple Macintosh for each student. Access wil be provided to the Center's current supercomputer, the Cray XMP-48, with remote access to a Cray 2 supercomputer with a very large main memory. Students will be taught the mechanics of using a vector supercomputer and will also be exposed to lectures from computational scientists and engineers in a variety of disciplines to broaden the students' research horizons. An award to NCSA for a 1988 Supercomputer Summer Institute is recommended in the amount of $42,062.
