{\bf OVERVIEW: } 
Students in all majors are invited to apply to the Research Experiences 
for Undergraduates (REU) Program in High-Performance Computing to 
be conducted during Summer 1995 at the Northeast Parallel Architectures 
Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University (contingent on renewal of funding
from the National Science Foundation). 
Participants in the program receive:

\smallskip
\indent $\bullet$ training in parallel architecture computing
\\
\indent $\bullet$ supervision of an independent research project
\\
\indent $\bullet$ training and experience in technical writing and speaking
\\
\indent $\bullet$ university housing and meals
\\
\indent $\bullet$ a stipend of \$2,500

\smallskip
\noindent
The program begins Sunday, June 4, 1995 and ends Friday, August 11, 1995.
To guarantee full consideration, completed applications must be 
received by March 15, 1995.  

\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf ELIGIBILITY: } 
Applications are welcome from students in all disciplines, 
including computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, communications, 
education, and economics.  No previous experience in high-performance 
computing is required.  Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students, 
who expect to graduate no earlier than December 1995.  Participation in the 
program is restricted to US citizens and permanent residents.
Women and members of 
ethnic/racial groups that traditionally have been under-represented in 
engineering, mathematics and the sciences are strongly encouraged to apply. 

\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf BACKGROUND INFORMATION: }
The Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse 
University was established in 1987 to study the application of a new 
generation of computing technology to problems in science and industry. 
Prof. Geoffrey C. Fox, a pioneer in the development and application 
of parallel architecture computers, joined NPAC as its Director in 1990.  
Prof. Fox has established an ambitious program that includes basic research, 
industrial applications, and educational opportunities for undergraduate and 
graduate students.
Participants have access to all NPAC facilities, 
including a Connection Machine CM-5, IBM SP-2, DEC Alpha cluster, 
DECmpp 12000, Intel iPSC/860, nCUBE2, and a digital multimedia lab,
as well as numerous workstations. 

\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf TYPICAL PROJECTS: } 
Advisors are available to supervise student projects in a 
variety of areas, including 
parallel algorithms and languages, computational physics,
computational fluid dynamics, optimization, digital multimedia,
education, financial modeling, symbolic processing,
scientific visualization, computer graphics and virtual reality.

\bigskip
\noindent
{\bf FURTHER INFORMATION: }
