A team of six students, with sponsorship from an industry partner, will design and build small clusters, learn scientific applications, and apply optimization techniques for their chosen architectures. Hopefully, the team will be selected to compete in a non-stop, 48-hour challenge (HPC-A-PALOOZA) at SC24. Participants will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience and knowledge in open source research computing, form valuable relationships with leaders in academia and industry, and attend prominent conferences.
The goal of this summer program at PSC is for the students to have an immersive high performance computing experience. The students will be undergraduates at either Carnegie Mellon University or the University of Pittsburgh. They will spend 11 weeks in the summer, working with advisors from the universities and PSC, engaging with hardware and software, and learning different scientific applications. If accepted to the SC24 Students Cluster Competition, students will continue this work into the fall 2024 semester to prepare for the competition.
The deadline to apply is Monday, February 26, 2024 at 12:00pm EST. You can find more details and application instructions.
