ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the following:

The instructors of the Supercomputing Challenge Teacher Training Session of June 1999: David Kratzer, Gina Fisk, Chris Karr, Karin Wiburg Ph.D., and Sharon Benson, who have made this report possible.

Nolan Gray, Mike Fisk, and Shaun Cooper for their support in not only judging these presentations, but also being available to answer our questions.

New Mexico State University and Los Alamos National Laboratories for providing the venue, the computer labs, and funding to increase our knowledge of the Supercomputing Challenge.

Lastly, all the little people (students) who will have to be subjected to this intense situation in the years to come. Without their creation of coding to find the solutions to the problems of the next generation, all of us would have more difficult lives.
