High Performance Computing Ph.D. Fellowship Applications due Sept. 8

The ACM/IEEE Computer Society High Performance Computing (HPC)Ph.D.
Fellowship Program is now accepting nominations for its second annual
competition at https://submissions.supercomputing.org. The deadline
for submissions is Friday, September 8, 2008..

The ACM/IEEE-CS HPC Ph.D. Fellowship Program honors exceptional Ph.D.
students throughout the world with the focus areas of High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. HPC covers the areas of
computational sciences, computational engineering, and computer
science using the most powerful computers available at a given time.
The ACM/IEEE-CS HPC Ph.D. Fellowship Program also supports the
sponsors’ long-standing commitment to workforce diversity and
encourages nominations of women, minorities and all who contribute to
diversity.

ACM/IEEE-CS HPC Ph.D. Fellowships are awarded with a certificate and a
stipend of at least $5,000 (US) for one academic year. All ACM/IEEE-CS
HPC Ph.D. Fellows are invited to attend at least one SC conference
(usually the one after one year of receiving the award). Furthermore,
the SC Steering Committee and other conference volunteers are willing
to facilitate, where possible, internships for Fellows at HPC research
or development sites. Interns are paid by their host site and will be
subject to the prevailing terms and conditions of the internship
program at that site. ACM/IEEE-CS HPC Ph.D. Fellowships are awarded
annually but previous awardees may compete annually to be renewed for
up to two additional years (three total), based on the Award
Recipient’s continued exceptional academic standing, progress,
achievement, and sustained interaction with the HPC technical
community. All Fellowship Recipients pursuing an award renewal must be
re-nominated to compete for an award renewal. A maximum of one
nomination per academic department will be considered in addition to
any renewal nominations from that department.

Students must be nominated by a full time faculty member at a PhD
granting institution .

Nominees must be enrolled in a full-time Ph. D program, and they
should have completed at least one year of study in their doctoral
program at the time of their nomination. Fellowship recipients will
be selected based on:
? Their overall potential for research excellence,
? The degree to which their technical interests align with those of
the HPC community,
? Their academic progress to-date, as evidenced by publications and
endorsements from their faculty advisor and department head as well as
a plan of study to enhance HPC related skills
? The demonstration of their current and/or anticipated use of HPC
resources.
All applicants must meet minimum scholarship requirements at the
institution where they are or will be registered.
