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.

第 1 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办的第七届年度国际 HPC 暑期学校。2016 年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，为国家培养更大规模、更多样化的 HPC 劳动力。这是极限科学与工程发现环境 (XSEDE)、加拿大计算局、欧洲高级计算合作伙伴关系 (PRACE) 和 RIKEN 计算科学研究所 (AICS) 的共同努力。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 名研究生和博士后参加暑期学校，探讨计算科学领域的 HPC 挑战。其中30名学生将来自美国院校。随着组织者不断改进项目内容和社区建设活动，参与者和演讲者将从之前的暑期学校中汲取的经验和教训中受益。根据往年参与者的反馈，我们预计2016年的参与者将通过彼此正式和非正式的互动获得新的知识见解。将向学生介绍如何长期获得国家资源和服务以支持他们正在进行的研究工作。参与者还将更深入地了解其他国家的文化，这将有利于他们建立强有力的国际合作。举办暑期学校的目的是促进当地和全球参与者和演讲者之间新的学院友谊和新的合作的发展。参加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的合作和伙伴关系，相互分享和学习。为暑期学校开发的材料将公开供社区获取。 2016 年的具体创新包括加强对女性的招募、改进申请和审查流程、审查 IHPCSS 结构和演示，以及外部评估团队的数据收集和研究。 因此，正如 NSF 的使命所言，该项目符合国家利益，促进科学进步。 第 2 部分：将根据高性能计算国际暑期学校的潜力，通过严格的申请流程来选择参与者，以增强他们对计算和数据科学中 HPC 挑战的理解，并推进他们的研究方法和实践。参与者将与来自多个学科的科学家讨论他们利用 HPC 推进研究的挑战和机遇。参与者将参与实践活动，熟悉可用于改进自己的研究实践的 HPC 工具，同时参加为期五天的大小小组讨论，以应对推进 HPC 研究的挑战。将从演讲者和 HPC 专业人士中为参与者指派导师，并为他们提供大量与导师进行非正式讨论的机会。暑期学校提供独特的体验，旨在帮助学员成为高效、有贡献的国际研发团队成员。
