Subject: Forum for High Performance Computing
National Partnership in Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI)
Thousands of HPC users around the country and the world are attempting to
use the latest hardware and software to solve the biggest problems in
science. Such leading-edge users sometimes face problems that their prior
experience never anticipated, their colleagues never addressed, and
possibly even the experts at the national centers are unfamiliar with.
To address these problems, NPACI has established HPC Forum to enable the
HPC user community to ask questions and discuss issues regarding any and all
HPC topics. The purpose of HPC Forum is to enable and accelerate the
efforts of HPC users by providing a venue for users to ask questions and
discuss problems. Experts from the NPACI staff will read HPC Forum (and ask
questions themselves as well as answer them!), but we hope everyone using
HPC techniques, including researchers, staff from other centers,
applications developers, and hardware vendors, will look to HPC Forum as a
valuable resource for finding answers and developing solutions. We will
actively recruit the participation of the entire HPC community in this
endeavor.
HPC Forum is open to everyone and is provided by NPACI as a public service.
We hope that it provides you with a valuable source of information and that
you will in turn contribute your own expertise and experiences to help the
community.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please use the
'Submit Questions/Comments' link on the HPC Forum main page:

Subject: Web Site, Discovering Wavelets
A new web site has been established to be a center of activity for
incorporating wavelets into the undergraduate curriculum. Currently
on the site are:
1. A report on a project for undergraduates on image processing using
the Haar wavelets.
2. A prospectus for the book Discovering Wavelets, by Edward
Aboufadel and Steven Schlicker of Grand Valley State University (which
is in Michigan).
3. An excerpt from the book featuring a lesson on Daubechies wavelets
and an associated Maple file.
4. Links to other web sites on wavelets that are accessible to
undergraduates.
Also coming soon is image processsing software that uses wavelets that
was designed by a sophomore in a first-semester linear algebra course.
If you have contributions for the site, please contact
aboufade@gvsu.edu.

Subject: Graduate Fellowships at Old Dominion University
Graduate Students Recruited for GAANN Fellowships at ODU
Since 1995, Old Dominion University and the U.S. Department of Education
have been sponsoring a High Performance Computing and Communication track
within the Department of Computer Science at ODU. The Department of
Education support comes in the form of Graduate Assistantships in Areas of
National Need (GAANN) and has just been renewed through 2001. At ODU,
the GAANN fellowship program is modeled after the multi-institution
Virginia/ICASE/LaRC Program in HPCC. Successful applicants will fulfill
doctoral degree course requirements while being co-mentored, according to
their interest, in their thesis research by a scientist at the nearby NASA
Langley Research Center (LaRC) and/or its Institute for Computer
Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE).
U.S. citizens with strong academic records in CS, science, or
engineering, particularly from groups underrepresented among computer
science doctoral graduates, are encouraged to apply. Under the terms of
the federal sponsorship, such students will be given preference among
equally academically qualified applicants. Highly qualified applicants
will also be considered from outside these groups. GAANN Fellows will
receive a stipend of $15,000 per year for 1998-99 (adjusted to keep pace
with the stipend of NSF Graduate Fellowships), as well as a full tuition
waiver and educational and professional travel allowances. The cost of
living is relatively inexpensive in the Greater Norfolk area, stretching
the stipend considerably. Consult http://www.cs.odu.edu/~hpcc/gaann or
mail gaann@cs.odu.edu for further information.
