Conference: Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC23)

高级研究计算（PEARC）会议系列旨在为HPC中心主任和经理、计算科学家、最终用户、学生、促进者、教育者、HPC系统管理员和用户支持人员以及来自美国和世界各地的行业和政府机构代表提供一个讨论挑战、机遇和解决方案的论坛。PEARC23会议是继美国国家科学基金会（nsf）支持的为期十年的极限科学与工程发现环境（XSEDE）系列会议之后召开的。会议将于2023年7月23日至27日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行。这是一个资助学生参加会议，特别是学生项目活动的项目。一些学生将在会议上发表论文和海报，来自计算机和经济弱势行业中代表性不足群体的学生将被专门招募参加。正如NSF的使命所述，该项目为促进科学进步提供了一个论坛，以传播研究成果，联系研究人员，培养下一代学者，从而服务于国家利益。会议的学生项目委员会在招收学生时强调多样性，并从不同的机构中纳入代表性不足的群体。作为学生项目的一部分，学生们将参加(1)一个迎新和欢迎环节，(2)一个学生轻松谈话环节，让参加过实习的学生分享他们的经验，(3)一个学生导师项目，让学生与一位资深导师配对，帮助指导学生完成会议活动，(4)一个学生志愿者项目，帮助管理和组织会议，(5)一个参展商问答和交流活动。学生可以与会议参展商代表一对一会面。NSF提供的资金将极大地影响高性能计算领域未来一代研究人员的职业生涯，同时鼓励该领域的多样性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) Conference series aim to provide a forum for discussing challenges, opportunities, and solutions among HPC center directors and managers, computational scientists, end users, students, facilitators, educators, HPC system administrators, and user support staff, as well as industry and government agency representatives from across the United States and around the world. The PEARC23 conference follows the successful ten-year NSF-supported Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) conference series. The conference will be held in Portland, OR from July 23-27, 2023. This is a project to fund students to participate in the conference, especially in the student program activities. Some students will present papers and posters at the conference, and students from underrepresented groups in computing and economically disadvantaged sectors will be specifically recruited to attend. The project serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission, to promote the progress of science as it provides a forum to disseminate research efforts, connect researchers, and train the next generation of scholars.The student program committee for the conference is recruiting students with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion of underrepresented groups and from a diverse set of institutions. As part of the student program, students will participate in (1) an orientation and welcome session, (2) a student lightening talk session that enables students who have participated in internships to share their experiences, (3) a student mentor program that pairs a student with a senior mentor to help guide the student through conference activities, (4) a student volunteer program, to help run and organize the conference, (5), an exhibitor Q&A and networking event, where students can meet 1-on-1 with conference exhibitor representatives. The funding provided by NSF will significantly impact the careers of the future generation of researchers in high-performance computing while encouraging diversity in the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
