Everybody in Canada who is interested in the Object-Oriented Programming
(OOP) and/or in the Behavioral Design Research as related to the
development of human-machine interfaces (however remotely connected to
these subjects) - please reply to my e-mail address.  The long-term
objective - organization of a corresponding Canadian bulletin board.

Greetings and thanks.

          John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center
                       1988 Summer Institute
 "An Intensive Introduction to Vector and Parallel Supercomputing"
                         August 1-12, 1988


 Objectives
   The John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center (JvNC)  will
   hold its third annual Summer Institute during August 1-12, 1988
   at the JvNC in Princeton, New Jersey.  The principal  goals  of
   the  Institute  are  to  teach  the  participants  how  to  use
   supercomputers  effectively  and  to   provide   an   intensive
   mini-course in computational scientific research.

 Facilities
   The JvNC operates the first production Class VII supercomputer,
   the  ETA  10, installed at the JvNC in March, 1988.  The ETA 10
   is presently configured with 128 million words of shared memory
   and four  Central  Processing  Units (CPUs) each  equipped with
   four million words of local memory.  The JvNC also operates two
   CYBER  205  supercomputers, configured  with four million words
   of memory.   All supercomputers are accesssed from the DEC 8600
   front-end computers  at  the JvNC operating under VMS or Ultrix
   (UNIX).  The PEP software, a  series of  user-friendly, command
   driven interactive procedures, allows users to execute programs
   on the ETA 10 and  CYBER  205  without  the  need  for learning
   the supercomputer's operating system.  The  JvNC  Visualization
   Facility includes  two Silicon  Graphics  Iris  4D workstations
   and  two Sun 3/160  workstations  with  presentation  and draft
   quality color hardcopy.

 Operation
   The Summer  Institute  will  be  equally  divided  between  the
   classroom  and  the  laboratory.   The  classroom  portion will
   include lectures by JvNC staff on  the  overall  JvNC  computer
   environment,  vector  computing,  parallel  computing, advanced
   performance programming,  communications  and  networking,  and
   graphics.   In  addition,  there  will  be  invited lectures on
   computational  chemistry,  algorithms  for  parallel  machines,
   computational    fluid    dynamics,    plasma    physics,   and
   visualization.  The laboratory portion  will  include  detailed
   consulting by User Services on program optimization for the ETA
   10 and CYBER 205, and utilization  of  the  JvNC  Visualization
   Facility.   The  participants shall be awarded an allocation of
   supercomputer time for their research projects.

 Participants
   Postdoctoral, graduate and advanced undergraduate  students  at
   U.S.   universities  and colleges are eligible to apply for the
   Summer Institute.  Knowledge  of  Fortran  is  a  prerequisite.
   Experience   with   vectorization  and  supercomputers  is  not
   required.  Each participant is expected  to  be  engaged  in  a
   computational research project and bring an operational Fortran
   code for further development and  production  runs  during  the
   Institute.

 Financial Support
   The JvNC will provide reimbursement for travel,  accommodations
   and  meals  up  to  $1500  per  participant  according  to  NSF
   policies.   Air  travel  shall  be  economy  class  and   local
   accommodations  will be organized through the JvNC.  Meals will
   be reimbursed up to a maximum per diem.  There is  no  separate
   stipend.

 Application
   Interested persons should submit the following information:

    - Curriculum   vitae,   indicating   university   or   college
      affiliation,  courses  of  study, undergraduate and graduate
      transcript (as appropriate), address and  telephone  (office
      and home)

    - Two letters  of  recommendation  from  faculty  advisors  or
      instructors

    - Description of computational research project

   The information should be  submitted  by  24  June  1988.   All
   applications should be sent to:

           John von Neumann National Supercomputer Center
                          Summer Institute
                            P.O. Box 3717
                        Princeton, NJ  08543
