NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
AiS Challenge Addresses
National Need for Scientists
Opportunities for NM
13
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
NASA’s Administrator recently stated that 30 – 50% of NASA scientists could retire in the next 3 – 5 years.
14
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
The current pool of possible replacements in college is inadequate to meet the need.
15
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
The pool of minorities and women is even more limited.
16
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
New Mexico has the highest rate of poverty of any state in the nation.

An Example…
Down Under Theme Park

NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
Down Under Theme Park
30 Kangaroos½ male and ½ female1 baby each year/pair1/7th of herd dies each
year
36
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
Down Under Theme Park
Herd this year = herd last year + births – deaths
Or….
37
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
Down Under Theme Park
Year = Previous Year + ½ Previous Year – 1/7 *
Previous Year
and finally…
38
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
Year = Previous Year + ½ * Previous Year – 1/7 * Previous
Year
Year 1= 30Year 2= 30 + ½(30) –1/7(30)Year 2 = 30 + 15 + 4 = 41
Year
39
NECC 2002 Supercomputing Challenge: Model for Replication
Year = Previous Year + ½ * Previous Year – 1/7 * Previous
YearYear 1 = 30Year 2 = 30 + 15 - 4 = 41Year 3 = 41 + ½(41) –1/7(41) = 55Year 4 = 55 + ½(55) – 1/7(55) = 75

Year = Previous Year + ½ Previous Year – 1/7 Previous Year
Predators kill 1/10 of herd annuallyYear

Year = Previous Year + ½ * Previous Year – 1/7 * Previous
Year – 1/10 * Previous Year
