RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATES IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

Students are invited to apply to the 1995 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in High-Performance Computing at the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University. The program introduces promising students to opportunities for research careers in applications of high-performance computing and provides a formative research experience modeled on the requirements of graduate study. Participants in the program receive:

training in parallel architecture computing
supervision of an independent research project
training and experience in technical writing and speaking
university housing and meals
a $2,500 stipend

Applications are welcomed from students in all disciplines, including computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, communications, education, and economics. No previous experience in high-performance computing is required. Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students, who expect to graduate no earlier than December 1995. Participation in the program is restricted to US citizens and permanent residents. Women and members of ethnic/racial groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.

The program lasts from June 4 to August 11, 1995. For full consideration, completed applications must be received by March 15, 1995. Applications should include:

resume
academic transcript
letters of recommendation from two faculty members
autobiographical essay, which should include brief descriptions of previous computing experience, areas of current academic interest, areas of possible research projects (if known) and tentative career plans.

Notification of intent to apply can be sent electronically to reu-info@npac.syr.edu. Applications should be sent to: REU Program 1995, NPAC, 3-217 CST, 111 College Place, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244

For more information on the program, including examples of undergraduate research projects, see the REU World Wide Web home page at http://old-npac.ucs.indiana.edu/REU . Questions should be addressed to reu-info@npac.syr.edu. Phone inquires can be made to Paul Coddington at 315-443-4883 or Nancy McCracken at 315-443-4687.
