SUPERCOMPUTER SUMMER INSTITUTE- at the Cornell Theory Center
July 28 - August 15, 1986
Sponsored by:
Cornell Theory Center,
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
and the National Science Foundation
The Center for Theory and Simulation in Science and Engineering (Theory Center)
at Cornell University, supported by the National Science Foundation, is pleased to announce a Supercomputer Summer Institute
for 1986 that will open new horizons to researchers at the graduate and
post-doc level. The Theory Center's programs emphasize interdisciplinary
research, advanced graphics development, and pursuit of the advancement of
research through highly parallel supercomputing.
Since the Summer Institute is participant-driven, students are requested to
bring with them a project, written in Fortran, as a working tool specific to
their own research. Lectures will be confined to morning and early afternoon
sessions in order to leave the bulk of the afternoon and evening devoted to
actual work using the supercomputer.
A 2-day Tutorial will be held for those students who are
unfamiliar with CMS.
Program

August 7-15
- Applications workshops
Finite element analysis
Quantum mechanics/Monte Carlo techniques
Numerical techniques
Renormalization techniques
Particle codes
Fluid codes
Optimization
Quantum chemistry
Each application (8 in all) will begin with morning lectures,
run in parallel. These general lectures will describe
what the application is and what can be done with it. Several of these
workshops will overlap (e.g., Optimization and Quantum Chemistry).
Workshops will then focus in to specific areas, with students breaking into
smaller groups to work on projects. Afternoons will be devoted to actual
work on student projects.
Speakers/Instructors include:
Kenneth G. Wilson
James A. Weeks Professor of Physical Science, Cornell University
Ravindra Sudan
IBM Professor of Engineering, Cornell University
William Buzbee
Deputy Leader, Computing & Communications
Division, Los Alamos Nat. Lab.
Jacques Denavit
Research physicist in Laser Fusion program, Lawrence Livermore Nat. Lab.
Jay Boris
Supervisory Research Physicist and Chief Scientist, Lab. for Computational
Physics, Naval Research Lab.
David Pensak
Manager of Computer Science Research, Dupont
Daniel Kilgore

Facility Information
The primary resource used will be the Theory Center Production
Supercomputer Facility (PSF) which consists of an IBM 3084 QX with four
FPS 264 attached scientific processors plus two FPS 164's and one FPS 164/MAX.
This facility is scheduled to be upgraded to an IBM 3090-400 with vector
facilities and students will be instructed in the use of these vector
facilities as well as in the use of scientific processors.
