ITHACA, N.Y. -- Fifteen undergraduate students from across the country arrived in Ithaca, N.Y., on June 2 to begin a summer of research at the Cornell Theory Center (CTC). The Supercomputing Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), in its seventh year, is offering students the opportunity to pursue a computational science research project at Cornell University. SPUR is funded by the National Science Foundation through its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Through a competitive process, these students were selected from colleges and universities across the nation to come to Cornell during the summer to work on a specific research project under the guidance of a Cornell faculty or staff member. CTC staff members are teaching the students how to use CTC's high-performance computing resources, and they are providing consulting assistance throughout the program. spurs.ltb.html
