A consortium to promote distributed computing

We have been funded by the University of North Carolina Office of the President [1] to establish a consortium to promote high performance computing at comprehensive universities throughout the state [2]. Seven courses were offered twice each over a two year period; students attended remotely via the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN). Local clusters of eight or more computers were established at the twelve universities in the consortium. A prime focus was to promote undergraduate research. In this paper we report on the outcomes of these efforts. Categories and Subject Descriptors K.3 [Computing Milieux]: Computer and Education
