DARPA SPONSORED
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS IN PARALLEL PROCESSING
The University of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and
Center for Automation Research are soliciting applications from qualified
graduate students for research asistantships in parallel processing. These
assistantships are made available by funds provided by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Information Science Technology Office
through a contract from NASA Ames Research Center. Proposals can address
either fundamental issues in parallel processing (e.g. architectures,
algorithms, programming languages, performance evaluation, etc.) or
significant applications of parallel processing. Research proposals that
have an experimental component will be given highest consideration for funding.
Awards will be made for one year of support, with possible extension to a
second year based on progress made during the first year. Funds will be
provided as part of the award to the student's university for salary,
tuition, and benefits. The University of Maryland will provide direct
travel support to an annual workshop held in conjunction with the program
at which students will deliver papers describing their research and interact
with leading scientists and engineers in parallel processing. If requested,
students will be provided with free access to the University of Maryland's
Connection Machine II.
Applications are solicited for June1991 funding. Only one student per
department will be funded.
Who Can Apply
- -------------
