The purpose of this workshop is to prepare undergraduate faculty for
teaching parallel computing in the undergraduate curriculum, either in
separate courses or by adding topics to standard courses.  The
workshop will include hands-on work with the 32-node PowerXplorer
parallel system at Colgate.  Participants will be introduced to SIMD
parallel computing using Parallaxis and Distributed Memory MIMD
parallel computing with the standard libraries MPI or PVM.
Participants will be prepared to develop their own courses or units on
parallel computing.  There will be a follow-up meeting in January or
February, 1998.  Room and Board and all costs of the workshop except
travel are covered by the NSF funding.

To apply, send a letter to Chris Nevison at the address given below.
Please include your home institution, your background in computer
science, and your plans for developing a course or units on parallel
computing at your home institution.  There are limited funds for
partial support for travel.  Please indicate if you want to be
considered for travel support.

Applications due April 1.
