I will ask each RT department leader to share this information with all RT users in your area. If any of these folks need, or desire, access to the RT myUMBC group please contact me and I can get them added asap.

Again I would encourage everyone to take a look at the newer version (4.2.11) prior to the upgrade date and share any questions, concerns, or issues asap.

Thank you for all your efforts in this matter.

UMBC's unique undergraduate research summer program in high performance computing just hit a new record: enrolling 33 students from across the nation with funding over $350,000. Supported by the NSF, NSA, and DoD—in response to national needs—this eight-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program combines training in scientific, statistical, and parallel computing with research in math and statistics applications. 

Matthias Gobbert, mathematics, and Nagaraj Neerchal, statistics, serve as program directors, with Bradford Peercy, mathematics, and Kofi Adragni, as co-PIs.

The program began in summer 2010 with eight participating students. This summer's participants include eight Meyerhoff Scholars from UMBC, plus students from universities like George Washington, UNC Chapel Hill, Bucknell, Penn State, Rutgers and Washington University in St. Louis.


Students work in teams on projects brought in by high caliber researchers from academia and industry, including clients like the University of Maryland School of Medicine, NIH, U.S. Census Bureau, and ParaTools, Inc. Their work includes using a 240-node supercomputer worth $1.5 million. ]]> UMBC's unique undergraduate research summer program in high performance computing just hit a new record: enrolling 33 students from across the nation with funding over $350,000.

Let me turn up my HoloLens up It is an obvious statement that technology is accelerating at an exponential rate. A little less obvious is that as technological advancement increases the cost of hardware decreases generally at the same exponential rate.
