Intel-letter

Dr. Stephen Wheat, Director
HPC Platform Office
Intel, USA

Dr. Henry Neeman suggested that we write and describe our work in computational science education and our near-term needs. He thought there might be synergy between our goals and Intel's. We teach parallel and distributed programming workshops for the National Computational Science Institute (http://www.computationalscience.org). Recently we have been tasked by the SuperComputing conference series to design and implement the education program for the SC07-SC09 conferences.

A significant portion of our work involves designing and implementing software and hardware platforms optimized for teaching parallel and distributed programming and computational science generally. As you know the overwhelming majority of HPC resources are dedicated to research rather than education. This situation

Thank-you for your time.
