[Clusterusers] grant report time -- please let me know about cluster use

[Lee Spector]

As the title says, it's once again time for the report to the NSF on  
our cluster, which they funded.

IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I would like anyone who has used the  
cluster in the last year to send me your name and a couple of  
sentences saying what you used it for. Don't worry about your prose  
or about lots of details -- I'll summarize anyway, and I'll ask you  
if I need more details. More important is just to send me something  
brief/quick in the next couple of days. If you've published anything  
that depended on the cluster in any way then definitely let me know  
about that too, and also if it supported your teaching or course  
work, or a Div II or III, or an animation that was later shown  
somewhere, etc. Everything I can list will help the NSF to see that  
we're putting the equipment to good use.

Josiah: I'd also appreciate a quick rundown of the recent and planned  
hardware and software upgrades -- again brief and quick is best.

Thanks,

  -Lee
