Application for an Intel/EAPF LittleFe

Notes:

  • Flavors of application:
    • Assembled unit delivered to your institution.
    • Attend the Intermediate Parallel Programming and Cluster Computing workshop at OU on XXX
    • Attend the Build-out hosted by the SC Education Program at SC11 in Seattle
  • Items the three application types have in common:
    • Individual and institutional commitment as shown with a letter outlining their commitment to incorporating the LittleFe/BCCD into their curriculum and to the development of new parallel programming or cluster computing curriculum modules. On institutional letterhead signed by someone(s) with the authority to make those commitments.
    • Take-back clause, that is after one year of quarterly check-ins if the plans outlined in the letter have not been met we can recall the unit.
  • Items that are different for each application:
    • The build-it-yourself options require that a team of two people (faculty and student or two faculty) apply.
