Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre is coordinating an EC-funded
project to bring European researchers for short visits to associated
departments in Edinburgh to collaborate on projects involving High
Performance Computing (HPC). The TRACS programme is funded by the
Comission of the European Communities under the Training and Mobility 
of Researchers Programme (TMR).

TRACS provides:

  * opportunities to visit and work in Edinburgh 

  * access to a wide range of HPC systems, including 

        + Cray T3D (512 alphas)
	+ Cray J90 (10 processors)
	+ Cray T3E (240 alphas)
        + Sun/SGI Workstation cluster

  * training, support and consultancy on parallel computing

  * accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses

TRACS is open to both academic and industrial researchers who are
nationals of, and working in, an EC member state or an Associated State
(Norway, Israel, Iceland and Liechenstein).  Applications will be 
reviewed by a selection panel and will be approved on the basis of 
scientific merit.

are available both in electronic (dvi/ps) and paper formats and can be
