Dear Colleagues,
It gives us great pleasure to announce our NSF-funded REU Site:
Interdisciplinary Program in High Performance Computing for Summer 2011.
The program is an innovative combination of learning scientific, parallel,
and statistical computing skills and applying them in an interdisciplinary
research context. The webpage
http://www.umbc.edu/hpcreu
has complete details of the 2011 program as well as special events and a
photo album of the 2010 program; monitor the webpage for a link to a video
in the near future! Below is a brief overview of the program.
Please forward this message to any student who might be interested in a
summer research experience with focus on applied mathematics, numerical
analysis, statistics, and scientific and parallel computing, and their
applications. Also we welcome you to forward to anyone else who might be
interested, such as faculty at other colleges and universities. If you
received this mail by forwarding and would like to be added to the mailing
list, send e-mail to [log in to unmask]
The REU Site: Interdisciplinary Program in High Performance Computing is
located in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMBC in the
heart of the Baltimore-Washington corridor of industry and government. The
program is comprised of learning scientific, parallel, and statistical
computing and of project work on interdisciplinary applications. All
activities of the program are conducted by teams of students, closely
supported by graduate teaching and research assistants as well as the
faculty of the program.
