“…For more advanced and intensive instruction in supercomputing, the campus has a workshop program called the UIC Workshop Program on Scientific Supercomputing [36], for which the author is a founding co-sponsor. Graduate students accepted in the workshop must have a research or thesis problem in need of supercomputing optimization, must spend full time for one quarter in the workshop and are rewarded with a research assistantship.…”

An introductory graduate course on supercomputing for computer science, applied science, and engineering majors is described. The interests of the students cover a broad range, from training as engineering or scientific supercomputer users to computer scientists interested an algorithmic, architectural, and statistical issues. An essential feature of this course is the w e of real supercomputer time on several machines of advanced architecture. Remote supercomputer access is obtained from the national supercomputing centers. The students do several small group research projects on supercomputers, concerning performance, algorithm design and applications. A number of techniques are wed to enhance the learning environment, such as local user guides, preparation for access dificulties, and appropriate beginning problems.
