SIParCS is off to a great start!
We are excited to host thirteen talented students in the Summer Internships in Parallel Computational Sciences (SIParCS) program this summer. Chosen from a pool of 91 applicants, this year's students represent schools from across the United States including Bucknell University, Florida International University, and New Mexico State University.
