Dear Colleague,
Clark State Community College (Springfield, Ohio), and its research partner Avetec, Inc., are undertaking a summer research project focusing on high performance computing (HPC) security. The research project involves a group of eight undergraduate student interns and three faculty members working as a geographically-dispersed team. This research project is funded by a National Science Foundation DUE Grant # 0903228.
A portion of this research project incorporates a survey of HPC administrators/managers. For this reason, we are requesting your assistance in two areas: 1) completing a short survey (if appropriate), and/or 2) identifying others involved in HPC administration/management that might complete the survey. The survey consists of 12 basic questions and is estimated to take between 5-15 minutes to complete

Thank you for supporting this research and participating in the survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous. All reporting of results will be summarized and averaged and no attempt will be made to identify specific persons or entities.
