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.

As you know the overwhelming majority of HPC resources are dedicated to research rather than education. This situation has put our group in a position where we spend a significant portion of our time designing and implementing software and hardware solutions to support teaching parallel and distributed programming and computational science. The Bootable Cluster CD (http://bccd.cs.uni.edu) and Little-Fe (http://cluster.earlham.edu/
