\section*{Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre}
For the past eight years, the Centre has been running a 
Summer Scholarship Program.
This program involves between 15
and 20 undergraduate and graduate 
students from all over the globe (including USA,
Germany, Netherlands, Scotland, England, Bulgaris and Pakistan).

The course begins with a week of practicals, lectures and
tutorials on the following subjects: C, Fortran, SIMD, MIMD, local
software for message passing (CHIMP) and parallel utilities (PUL),
presentation skills, documentation skills, 2D graphics, 3D graphics and
EPCC work in general. The students then work on individual projects for
up to eight weeks and then a final report is written which goes through
a review cycle. 

The students are treated as active
members of EPCC and as such, are expected to present their skills and
work during the summer to each other and the staff.
