                Los Alamos Computational Science Workshop
                          Call For Participants
                           Spring 1993 Session 



The Advanced Computing Laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites 
scientists and engineers to participate in the spring session of the 1993
Los Alamos Computational Science Workshop. The Workshop provides an enriched 
environment that allows professionals to explore the application of high 
performance computing to current scientific problems.

Los Alamos National Laboratory offers a research environment designed to 
foster high performance computing methodologies and innovative multi-
disciplinary collaborations. Los Alamos has always been a leader in high
performance computing; many of the nation's scientific "grand challenge"
problems -- fundamental problems with broad economic and scientific 
impact -- are being addressed by researchers at the Laboratory. 
Collaboration between participants and these scientists is encouraged 
through the Workshop's seminar series and a mentorship program, as well 
as through the Laboratory's numerous technical colloquia.

The Workshop will offer participants three levels of participation 
ranging from an intensive one week overview, starting February 22, to a 
full twelve weeks of extended research and professional development.  
The centerpiece of the Workshop is a seminar series on high performance 
computational methods, environments and tools. The series will begin with 
a one week intensive overview presenting the technologies, the methodologies 
and the applications of high performance computing.  Emphasis will be placed 
on enabling participants to effectively pursue their specific areas of 
interest through applied research and collaboration. 

Specific topics that will be addressed will include:

 * Advanced Architectures		* Distributed Computing 
 * Scientific Visualization		* Parallel Numerical Methodologies 
 * Performance Analysis and Optimization		
 * "Grand Challenge" Applications

Following this initial overview, participants will continue the study of 
high performance architectures with a two week hands-on tutorial focusing 
on high performance computing platforms from Cray Research, Inc. and 
Thinking Machines Corp.  Enrollment in the hands-on tutorial is limited.

Fifteen researchers will be able to remain at the Laboratory for up to nine 
additional weeks to further their own research and attend additional 
Workshop seminars.  The extended seminars will provide detailed 
descriptions of innovative architectures, highlight selected visualization 
tools such as AVS and Khoros, contrast several language paradigms, and 
provide in-depth coverage of debugging, optimizing, and executing parallel 
codes on specific parallel architectures.  This seminar series constitutes 
a significant time commitment. Thus high motivation, self discipline and 
initiative are critical for a participant to obtain benefit from the 
extended program at the Workshop.

The Workshop offers an excellent computing environment.  Through the 
Advanced Computing Laboratory, participants will have access to high 
performance workstations and innovative computer architectures including 
leading technologies from Thinking Machines, Intel, IBM, Cray, SGI, and 
Motorola.

Prerequisites are:
	* FORTRAN or C programming experience or coursework
	* familiarity with UNIX
	* a strong foundation in physical or engineering sciences

Application Process:

In addition to completing the attached application, the process requires 
a short statement of research interests. Three letters of reference and
a curriculum vitae are required. Students should include current transcripts.  

INCOMPLETE APPLICATION PACKAGES WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

Participants will be selected from industry, academia and government. 
Participation in the one-week intensive seminar is limited to 50 participants.  
The two week hands-on tutorial is open to 24 of the original 50 participants.  
Finally, 15 participants will be invited to continue their involvement 
through the extended workshop which will run for an additional nine weeks.  
Researchers remaining for the extended workshop will be afforded time and 
resources to dedicate to research and computing activities.  

There are no tuition fees associated with the workshop or the workshop 
facilities.
