MRI: Minority Internships in Parallel Computing

该奖项支持一名来自少数族裔机构的教员在并行计算领域实习一年。目的是让参与者有机会掌握技术并进行并行计算研究。与并行计算专家计算机科学家密切合作，学员将了解可用于并行程序的各种调试工具和性能测量技术，学习用于对多处理器编程的语言，并致力于利用并行性的算法设计。然后，将鼓励参与者审查在多处理器上执行的各种应用程序，并提出自己的新应用程序并进行相关工作。最后，学员将亲身体验各种不同的高级计算机体系结构。拟议的实习将为教员提供一个在并行计算领域获得知识和经验的绝佳机会。目前的实习计划吸引了希望跟上新技术的高素质教职员工。我们相信，拟议的计划将同样成功。

This award supports a one year internship in parallel computing for a faculty member from a minority institution. The objective is to give the participant the opportunity to master techniques and to conduct research in parallel computing. Working closely with computer scientists who are experts in parallel computing, the participant will learn about various debugging tools and performance measurement techniques available for parallel programs, study languages used to program multiprocessors, and work on the design of algorithms to exploit parallelism. The participant will then be encouraged to review the wide range of applications being carried out on multiprocessors, and to propose and work on his own new applications. Finally, the participant will have hands-on experience with a variety of different advanced-computer architectures. The proposed internship will provide an excellent opportunity for a faculty member to acquire knowledge and experience in the area of parallel computing. The current internship program has attracted highly qualified faculty members who wish to keep abreast of new technologies. We are confident that the proposed program will be equally successful.
