REU Site: Supercomputing Undergraduate Program in Maine (SuperMe)

这个奖项，为一个新的研究经验的本科生（REU）网站，建立了一个超级计算本科课程在缅因州（SuperMe）。这个新网站提供了为期十周的夏季研究经验，在缅因州（U缅因州）的大学每年为十名本科生三年。凭借来自计算机系统和领域应用的十名教师研究人员的综合专业知识，SuperMe允许每个本科生进行有意义的研究，例如开发超级计算技术和工具，并通过并行计算和科学可视化解决前沿研究问题。除了积极参与研究小组，学生参加由教师导师每周研讨会，正式报告和介绍他们的研究经验和成果，进行实地考察，并与ITEST，RET和GK-12参与者互动。SuperMe提供从工程到科学的科学探索，并以超级计算为核心。它包括四个计算机系统项目，旨在提高网格计算，并行I/O数据访问，高分辨率科学可视化和信息安全技术，以及五个计算机建模项目，利用世界一流的超级计算和可视化设施，在缅因大学进行大型，复杂的模拟实验和不同科学领域的数据分析。SuperMe为来自代表性不足的群体或来自研究机会有限的农村地区大学的学生提供多种尖端研究机会。通过直接与UMaine现有项目的参与者互动，包括ITEST，RET和GK-12，REU学生将他们的研究成果和经验传播给初中和高中学生和教师。该网站由国防部与NSF REU网站计划共同资助。

This award, for a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site, builds a Supercomputing Undergraduate Program in Maine (SuperMe). This new site provides ten-week summer research experiences at the University of Maine (UMaine) for ten undergraduates each year for three years. With integrated expertise of ten faculty researchers from both computer systems and domain applications, SuperMe allows each undergraduate to conduct meaningful research, such as developing supercomputing techniques and tools, and solving cutting-edge research problems through parallel computing and scientific visualization. Besides being actively involved in research groups, students attend weekly seminars given by faculty mentors, formally report and present their research experiences and results, conduct field trips, and interact with ITEST, RET and GK-12 participants. SuperMe provides scientific exploration ranging from engineering to sciences with a coherent intellectual focus on supercomputing. It consists of four computer systems projects that aim to improve techniques in grid computing, parallel I/O data accesses, high-resolution scientific visualization and information security, and five computer modeling projects that utilize world-class supercomputing and visualization facilities housed at UMaine to perform large, complex simulation experiments and data analysis in different science domains. SuperMe provides a diversity of cutting-edge research opportunities to students from under-represented groups or from universities in rural areas with limited research opportunities. Through interacting directly with the participant of existing programs at UMaine, including ITEST, RET and GK-12, REU students disseminates their research results and experiences to middle and high school students and teachers. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU Site program.
