International High Performance Computing Summer School 2016

第一部分：PI建议参加2016年6月26日至7月1日在斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那卢布尔雅那大学举行的第七届国际HPC暑期班。2016国际高性能计算暑期学校的愿景是与加拿大、欧洲和日本合作，为国家培养更多、更多样化的高性能计算劳动力。这是极端科学与工程发现环境(XSEDE)、加拿大计算机公司、欧洲高级计算伙伴关系(PRACE)和RIKEN高级计算科学研究所(AICS)共同努力的结果。这些组织提议共同努力，让来自加拿大、欧洲、日本和美国的80名研究生和博士后沉浸在暑期学校中，讨论计算科学中的高性能计算挑战。其中30名学生将来自美国的院校。随着组织者不断改进计划内容和社区建设活动，参与者和演讲者将受益于以往暑期学校的经验和教训。根据过去几年参与者的反馈，我们预计2016年的参与者将通过彼此之间的正式和非正式互动获得新的知识见解。将向学生简要介绍如何获得长期的国家资源和服务，以支持他们正在进行的研究努力。与会者还将对其他国家的文化有更深入的了解，这将有助于他们建立强有力的国际合作。暑期学校的组织是为了促进本地和全球参与者和演讲者之间新的大学友谊和新的合作关系的发展。与会者将在暑期学校期间和之后通过使用社交网络工具、虚拟研讨会以及参与新形成的合作和伙伴关系来相互分享和学习。为暑期班编写的材料将公开提供给社区访问。2016年的具体创新包括加强招聘妇女，改进申请和审查程序，审查IHPCSS的结构和说明，以及外部评价小组收集和研究数据。因此，正如NSF的使命所述，该项目符合促进科学进步的国家利益。第二部分：参与者将通过严格的申请程序挑选出来，基于国际高性能计算暑期学校的潜力，以增强他们对计算和数据科学中的高性能计算挑战的了解，并改进他们的研究方法和实践。与会者将与来自多个学科的科学家讨论他们在利用HPC推进研究方面的挑战和机遇。参与者将参与实践活动，以熟悉他们可以用来改进自己的研究实践的高性能计算工具，同时参加为期五天的大小小组讨论，以应对推进高性能计算研究的挑战。参与者将从讲演者和HPC专业人员中获得导师，他们将获得许多与导师进行非正式讨论的机会。暑期班提供了一种独特的体验，旨在帮助学员成为有效的国际研发团队成员。

Part 1:PI's propose to participate in the 7th annual International HPC Summer School at the University of Ljubljana in Ljubljana, Slovenia on June 26-July 1, 2016. The vision of the International High Performance Computing Summer School 2016 is to prepare a larger, more diverse, HPC workforce for the nation, in cooperation with Canada, Europe, and Japan. This is a joint effort of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), Compute Canada, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), and the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS). These organizations propose to work together to immerse 80 graduate students and postdocs from Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States within a Summer School on HPC challenges within computational sciences. 30 of the students will come from U.S. institutions. The participants and presenters will benefit from the experiences and lessons learned from previous Summer Schools as the organizers continue to improve program content and community building activities. Based on feedback from participants in past years, we anticipate that the 2016 participants will gain new intellectual insights through the formal and informal interactions with one another. The students will be briefed on how to gain longer-term access to national resources and services to support their on-going research endeavors. The participants will also gain deeper insights into the cultures of other countries, which will benefit them in establishing strong international collaborations. The Summer School is organized to foster the development of new collegial friendships and new collaborations among the participants and presenters, locally and globally. The attendees will share and learn from one another during and after the Summer School through the use of social networking tools, virtual seminars, and participation in new collaborations and partnerships that are formed. The materials developed for the summer school will be made publicly available for community access. Specific innovations for 2016 include enhanced recruitment of women, with a revamping of the application and review process, review of IHPCSS structure and presentations, and data collection and study by the external evaluation team. Therefore, the project serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission, to promote the progress of science.Part 2:Participants will be selected through a rigorous application process, based on the potential for the International Summer School for High Performance Computing to enhance their understanding of HPC challenges in computational and data sciences and to advance their research methods and practices. Participants will talk with scientists from multiple disciplines about their challenges and opportunities in utilizing HPC to advance their research. The participants will engage in hands-on activities to become familiar with HPC tools they may use to improve their own research practices while participating in five days of large and small group discussions to address the challenges in advancing HPC research. The participants will be assigned mentors from among the presenters and HPC professionals and they will be provided with numerous opportunities for informal discussions with mentors. The Summer School offers a unique experience designed to prepare the attendees to become effective, contributing members of international research and development teams.
