Superquest 1991-1994

该奖项授予康奈尔国家超级计算机设施（CNSF）与国家超级计算应用中心（NCSA）和亨茨维尔阿拉巴马大学合作的1991-1994年超级探索计划。这是一个为期三年的持续性奖项，旨在支持将计算科学及其工具整合到高中科学和数学课程中。举行了全国中学生和教师比赛。这些学生提出一个科学问题的调查和它的解决方案使用超级计算资源。评判依据是内容的科学性、计算方法的有效性、创造性和清晰度。这些提案是参加CNSF的11个获奖团队；NCSA的球队和阿拉巴马大学的三支球队。每队将由3 - 4名学生和1名老师组成。提议的主题范围从恐龙灭绝到交通堵塞的研究，再到低温保存器官。SuperQuest团队将接受基本超级计算机使用、编程语言、计算机图形学和基本数值方法方面的培训。他们将得到超级计算机专家的帮助，在中心的超级计算机上开发和实施他们的程序。学校将获捐赠电脑工作站，而胜出的队伍将获技术支援，以建立远端电脑站。学生们将在专业的科学会议上就他们的项目发表科学演讲。

This award is to the Cornell National Supercomputer Facility (CNSF) in collaboration with the NAtional Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the University of Alabama at Huntsville for the 1991-1994 SuperQuest Program. This is a three year continuing award to support the integration of computational science and its tools into the high school science and mathematics curriculum. A national competition for high school students and teachers was held. These students proposed the investigation of a scientific problem and its solution using supercomputing resources. Judging was based on scientific content, effectiveness of computational approach, creativity and clarity. The proposals were eleven winning teams attending CNSF; for teams at NCSA and three teams at the University of Alabama. Each team will consist of three-four students and a teacher. The proposed topics range from the extinction of the dinosaurs to a study of traffic jams to preserving organs at low temperatures. The SuperQuest teams will receive training in basic supercomputer usage, programming languages, computer graphics and basic numerical methods. They will be aided by supercomputer experts in developing and implementing their programs on the centers' supercomputers. Workstations will be donated to the schools and the winning teams will receive technical assistance in setting up the remote computing sites. The students will deliver scientific talks on their projects at professional scientific meetings.
