Application period is over.
Computational Science Workshop for Underrepresented Groups 2009 is the 7th annual workshop for undergraduate students from underrepresented groups. The workshop provides the participants hands on experience in parallel computing, grid computing and immersive and interactive visualization. At the workshop, student and faculty participants build a parallel computer from components and then use it to perform a number of parallel computing exercises. In addition experts give presentations on emerging opportunities for research and education in computational sciences.

Vision
Follow the advances in computing technologies from teraflop to petaflop 
(hardware, software, and algorithms) to:
- Perform realistic simulations of nanosystems and devices
- Demonstrate the feasibility of simulating systems not yet attempted
- Incorporate simulation and parallel computing & visualization in physical sciences and engineering education
The Info/Bio/Nano Interface: High-Performance Computing & Visualization
Within Reach,
- At the nano-scale (?100nm)~ 10 million -10 billion atom Nanosystems (inorganic, organic, biochemical) can be simulated & visualized while maintaining their atomistic nature
- At micro-to meso-scales (0.1mm to mms)–Seamless transition from discrete to continuum model via connection to finite element approaches–Allows examination of systems such as NEMS
