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.

第一部分：PI计划参加2016年6月26日至7月1日在斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那举行的第七届国际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，为国家准备更大，更多样化的HPC劳动力。这是极端科学和工程发现环境（XSEDE），加拿大计算，欧洲高级计算伙伴关系（PRACE）和RIKEN高级计算科学研究所（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名研究生和博士后沉浸在计算科学领域HPC挑战的暑期学校中。其中30名学生将来自美国大学。参与者和主持人将受益于以往暑期学校的经验和教训，因为组织者将继续改进计划内容和社区建设活动。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。学生将简要介绍如何获得长期访问国家资源和服务，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大的国际合作。暑期学校的组织是为了促进新的大学友谊和新的合作之间的参与者和主持人，本地和全球的发展。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的合作和伙伴关系来分享和相互学习。为暑期学校编写的材料将公开提供给社区使用。2016年的具体创新包括加强妇女的招聘，修改申请和审查程序，审查IHPCSS的结构和介绍，以及外部评估团队的数据收集和研究。 因此，正如NSF的使命所述，该项目服务于国家利益，促进科学进步。第二部分：参与者将通过严格的申请程序进行选择，基于国际高性能计算暑期学校的潜力，以提高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。与会者将与来自多个学科的科学家讨论他们在利用HPC推进研究方面面临的挑战和机遇。参与者将参与实践活动，熟悉他们可以用来改进自己的研究实践的HPC工具，同时参加为期五天的大型和小型小组讨论，以应对推进HPC研究的挑战。与会者将从演讲者和HPC专业人员中分配导师，他们将有许多机会与导师进行非正式讨论。暑期学校提供了一个独特的经验，旨在准备与会者成为有效的，有贡献的国际研究和开发团队的成员。
