I am a grad student at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
We have a pretty impressive parallel computing environment.
Two or three shared memory machines, including an Alliant
and an Encore.  We have an Intel 32 node iPSC (not iPSC II).
We have a lot of suns which are being used as parallel
machines using programming tools developed at CU.  Currently
a connection machine is in the works.  

Our faculity include, Harry Jordan who developed the Force 
language now market by encore or alliant I think.  Oliver
McBryan who is pretty famous for parallel numerical stuff
and is a connection machine fan.  Bobby Schnabel has been
involved in methods for solving parallel numerical problems 
and is developing a language for numerical problems on 
local memory hypercube.  Lloyd Fosdick is a numerical type
and Gary Nutt is a OS type, both are doing work in parallel 
computing too.

Most everyone at CU has a finger in the parallel computing
pie.  If you have more specific questions just let me know.
