Sorry this is comes so long after the quesiton. Somehow my original posting got lost.

We have two 32K connection machines (a CM1 and a CM2); an Encore Multimax running Unix and another Multimax running MACH; and an Alliant FX/80. For a resource allocation packet, send a request with your USPS mail address to npac@cmx.npac.syr.edu. The allocation packet will ask you to write a short proposal of the research you wish to do. It is not required that you wish to do research *in* parallel computing per se, all that is necessary is that your research involve parallel computation. That includes, for instance, using our Alliant to run Fortran programs that have been automatically parallelized by the compiler. Of course, research on the subject of parallel computation itself is welcome. Besides supporting various parallel architectures, NPAC has a full range of support services, including high-level consulting, workshops, etc. Generally you are eligible to apply if you are a researcher at a university (including graduate students). Industry and government researchers are welcome to inquire at npac@cmx.npac.syr.edu as well. We are accessible via the internet.
