CRI: Building Human Infrastructure: A Pipeline for Minority Preparedness in High Performance Computing (H-PIPE)

分布式计算实验室（DCL）由美国国家科学基金会资助（NSF- cise EIA-0325024）成立。H-PIPE将利用DCL作为教育、研究和推广活动的中心，从而使更多的个人在高性能计算机的设计、操作和应用方面得到培训。对这一项目的支持将加强一种行之有效的模式，即在代表性不足的少数民族中招募、支持和培养在CISE相关领域受过培训的人才。这项研究工作将使用学生构建的40个cpu（20个节点）计算机集群，该集群目前是DCL的核心，并在三个交叉的工作中利用它：(1)加强对少数民族和女高中生的外展；(2)进一步丰富CISE的教育活动；(3)让学生参与激动人心的相关研究，并利用DCL作为催化剂，促进从这种计算形式中受益的多学科合作。H-PIPE将为学生提供在人工神经网络、生物医学工程、操作系统、计算机网络协议和计算机体系结构方面进行实践项目的机会。

H-PIPE will utilize the DCL as a hub for educational, research and outreach activities that, in concert, result in more individuals trained in the design, operation and applications of high-performance computers. Support of this program will enhance a proven model to recruit, support, and develop talent in underrepresented minorities that are trained in the CISE related fields. The research effort will use the student-constructed 40-CPU (20-node) Computer cluster that is currently at the core of the DCL and utilize it in three interleaved efforts: (1) to perform enhanced outreach to minority and female high-school students; (2) to provide further enrichment of educational activities in CISE; and (3) to involve students in exciting relevant research and use the DCL as a catalyst to promote multi-disciplinary collaborations that can benefit from this form of computing. H-PIPE will afford students the opportunity to carry out hands-on projects in Artificial Neural Networks, Biomedical Engineering, Operating Systems, Computer Network Protocols and Computer Architecture.
