		Summer Workshop for Faculty
	   High-Performance Scientific Computing 
         University of Colorado, June 7 - 18, 1993

This residential workshop is designed for college faculty 
members interested in teaching scientific computing to 
undergraduate students. Its objectives are to present 
an early draft of course material we have developed to 
potential instructors, to critique it, and to
discuss ways of incorporating it into a college curriculum.
This material was developed for an undergraduate course in 
"High-Performance Scientific Computing" under a grant from the 
National Science Foundation.

Students in our course learn to use high-performance 
workstations and supercomputers through laboratory exercises 
representative of scientific applications.
The exercises include numerical computation, scientific visualization,
and performance measurement. Our laboratory is equipped with 
DEC 5000 and SGI Indigo workstations and Xterminals; we access
supercomputers over a network.

Approximately 60% of the workshop time will be devoted to
laboratory sessions. The remainder will be devoted to tutorials on
the course material and to discussions of 
how to teach this subject to undergraduates, including
practical matters of hardware and software
requirements, teaching methodology, and breadth and depth of the
subject matter.

Participants will reside in Crosman Residence Hall on the campus.
Classes and laboratory sessions will be held in the Engineering Center
located nearby. Residence expenses (room and board) will be paid by
a grant from the National Science Foundation. Transportation expenses will
not be covered.

Attendance will be limited to sixteen participants, selected according to
these criteria:

	Statement of interest. This statement describes the applicant's 
	interest in participating in this workshop and relevant academic 
	experience.

	Satisfying the prerequisites. The prerequisites are experience with 
	the Unix operating system and C or Fortran, 
	knowledge of undergraduate numerical analysis.

Faculty members from four-year colleges are especially encouraged to apply.

Some course materials are available by anonymous FTP from cs.colorado.edu
in directory /pub/cs/HPSC.
