| Project Title | Curriculum Developer |
| Summary | This intern will work under the guidance of the mentor to take a working curriculum module (How Many People Does it Take to...: A Parallel Approach to the Party Problem) and update it to make it more useful to the Blue Waters hardware. While the original module was set to be applicable to Blue Waters and other hardware, it was developed before Blue Waters was accessible. Therefore, the module should be updated to compile and run on Blue Waters and the activities should be updated so that there is performance information relevant to Blue Waters. |
