The purpose of this proposal is to fund travel for undergraduate students to participate in the Experiencing HPC for Undergraduates program at the SC13, SC14 and SC15 conferences. The primary goal of this program is to lead the students into research as an undergraduate and then encourage them to attend graduate school in HPC topics in Computer and Computational Science. The program makes use of several existing parts of the SC technical program, with additional activities specific to the program. The unique content for the participants in this program will include an HPC boot camp session, talks by well known researchers in the field, a panel featuring current graduate students, and a panel on academic and industry career opportunities in the HPC field.The key idea of this program is that the best way to get people excited about HPC is to visit and participate in a major technical conference in the field. SC is an ideal venue for such a program since it combines elements of a high quality technical meeting (papers, posters, tutorials) with a major industry trade show (commercial and research exhibits, vendor briefings, birds of a feather sessions). By providing sophomore and junior undergraduates an opportunity to see what the field is about, it is believed that we can excite them about the field in time for them to apply to graduate school or decide on which industry to enter when they complete their bachelor?s degrees.The goal of this program is to expand the High Performance Computing workforce by encouraging talented undergraduates to consider graduate studies and careers in the field of HPC. The program will make a special effort to recruit participants from under represented groups and minority serving institutions. HPC is critical to many national goals from scientific innovation to product development. Currently there is a shortage of new students entering the field. This program is designed to try to help meet those national needs.

本提案的目的是资助本科生参加SC13，SC14和SC15会议的本科生体验HPC计划的旅行。该计划的主要目标是引导学生进入研究作为一个本科生，然后鼓励他们参加研究生院在计算机和计算科学的HPC主题。该计划利用了SC技术计划的几个现有部分，并针对该计划开展了额外的活动。该项目为参与者提供的独特内容包括HPC靴子训练营会议、该领域知名研究人员的演讲、以当前研究生为代表的小组讨论以及HPC领域学术和行业就业机会小组讨论。该项目的核心理念是，让人们对HPC感到兴奋的最佳方式是参观并参加该领域的主要技术会议。SC是这样一个计划的理想场所，因为它结合了高质量技术会议（论文，海报，教程）与主要行业贸易展（商业和研究展览，供应商简报，羽毛会议）的元素。通过为大二和大三的本科生提供一个了解该领域的机会，相信我们可以及时激发他们对该领域的兴趣，以便他们申请研究生院或决定在完成学士学位后进入哪个行业？该计划的目标是通过鼓励有才华的本科生考虑HPC领域的研究生学习和职业生涯来扩大高性能计算人才队伍。该方案将特别努力从代表性不足的群体和少数民族服务机构招募参与者。HPC对于从科学创新到产品开发的许多国家目标至关重要。目前，进入该领域的新生不足。该计划旨在帮助满足这些国家的需求。
