<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The
parallel computing workshop will focus on using parallel and cluster computing
in an educational setting, as well as teaching issues in parallel computing.
Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented and source code will be
made available. Further examples using publicly available research codes will be
used. Cluster installation tools designed for educational institutions will be
presented. Participants will get an introduction to programming using the

participants will have the opportunity to review with NCSI staff how they have
been able to implement results from the last workshop into curriculum and to
continue curriculum development. Paul Gray and David Joiner will be the lead
instructors, with local coordination from Henry
Neeman.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">To offset the costs of the class and to help decrease
no-shows, there will be a $100 registration fee this year, which can be refunded
if the participant withdraws before the cutoff date. There are scholarships
available for the registration fee if a need exists. Participants are
responsible for their own travel, but NCSI will take care of accommodations,
provide a daily per diem for meals, as well as provide all training and
materials free of charge. For more information and to register <A
