Supercomputer Course for Undergraduates Slated to Begin

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At a time when state and federal governments are
looking to improve math and science education, a new course has been
developed to teach undergraduates the ropes of supercomputing.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center announced today that they will begin
instructing a course on supercomputing for junior and senior level
undergraduates in math, engineering, computers and the sciences.

According to the Center, the non-credit course, funded by the
National Science Foundation, will provide students with research
experience in order to prepare them for graduate school or the
workplace.  Computational researchers from the Center and The Ohio
State University will teach usage of a CRAY Y-MP supercomputer, the
UNIX operating system, FORTRAN and C compilers, fluid dynamics
applications, and scientific visualization.  In addition to the CRAY,
students will use computers from Digital, NeXT, Silicon Graphics, and
Apple.  Students will receive hands-on experience in grid generation,
computer simulation of two- and three-dimensional fluid flow and
heat transfer, and computer visualization of flows using graphics
hardware and software.

The ten-week course, "Research Experience for Undergraduates to
Enhance Computation, Science and Research," is slated to begin in
June at the Ohio Supercomputer Center in Columbus.  It is open to
any junior or senior level undergraduate in the northeastern United
States.  There is no charge for tuition, room and board.  Applications
can be requested by calling (614)292-6082, e-mailing nitta@osc.edu, or
writing the Ohio Supercomputer Center, 1224 Kinnear Road, Columbus,
OH 43212. Deadline for application is May 17, 1991.

The Ohio Supercomputer Center is a state-funded facility that
provides training, consultation and use of a CRAY Y-MP supercomputer
and a state-of-the-art visualization laboratory.
