"Superkids," participants in tlie High- 

 School Science Students Honors 

 Program, with the National Education 

 Supercomputer at NERSC. Each sum- 

 mer this program brings one student 

 from each state, the District of 

 Columbia. Puerto Rico. American 

 Samoa, the DOD Dependents Schools, 

 and eight foreign students to Lawrence 

 Livermore National Laboratory. 



2 Training technical personnel in the use of informa- 

 tion technologies. 



3 Providing energy related information to citizens. 



□ DOE initiatives for energy efficient manufacturing 

 and materials processing. 



In FY 1994 a candidate DOE activity is to begin devel- 

 oping prototype applications to demonstrate national 

 scale applications and use of the Nil in selected energy- 

 related areas. It would work closely with corresponding 

 programs of other agencies in these efforts.

DOE supports several educational programs including 

 the National Education Supercomputer Program (NESP) 

 at NERSC; the Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute in 

 which 30 Native Americans participate; and workshops 

 to train teachers in HPCC technology and use, and to 

 conduct such workshops themselves. FY 1993 high- 

 lights include: 



-I The NESP completed its eighth High School 

 Science Students Honors in Supercomputing and 

 an associated teachers curriculum development 

 workshop, and operated the National Education 

 Supercomputer (NES), a Cray X-MP/18 donated 

 by Cray Research, Inc. This program was recog- 

 nized in a DOE Public Service Award to the 

 NERSC Education Coordinator. 



□ A syllabus for teaching computational science at 

 the graduate level has been developed and made 

 available on the Internet. This work involved 24 

 authors from 10 disciplines. It incorporates graph- 

 ics using Apple Macintosh and IBM RS 6000 tech- 

 nologies and allows the user to execute examples 

 on Cray Research, IBM, Intel, Kendall Square, 

 and Thinking Machines systems. The syllabus is 

 maintained at Vanderbilt University. 



□ A Computational Science Graduate Fellowship 

 Program was begun in FY 1992. The fellowships 

 are awarded on one-year renewable terms to sup- 

 port full-time graduate study and thesis research 

 in the U.S. The fellowships are in the applied sci- 

 ence and engineering disciplines with applications 

 in high performance computing. In FY 1993 the
