Be a super(computing) fellow

Budget surplus: there's a phrase you don't hear much these days. Even rarer: they want to know whether they should give some of it to you.

The Steering Committee of the ACM/IEEE SC (supercomputing, that is) conference have decided to steer the surplus funds from their '05 conference to PhD fellowships in high-performance computing.

Pointing out that the National Research Council study on Supercomputing recommends "[f]unding models that encourage and support the education of the next generation, as well as those that provide the supercomputing infrastructure needed for their education," the ACM and IEEE Computer Society has set up a fellowship program, and are looking for candidates right now.

The deadline for applying for the 2007 award is the end of this month (the 30th, actually), so if you're in a PhD program and interested in HPC, you might want to jump on this.
