Conference: Organizing the Fourth High-Performance Computing Security Workshop

确保国家的网络基础设施和HPC设施免受安全威胁有赖于社区成员不断分享知识和技术诀窍。这次研讨会将汇集来自政府机构、学术和研究机构以及私营部门的国家、区域和地方专家。让学生和年轻专业人士参加工作坊，将有助于培养下一代高性能计算专家，并将其介绍给我们的社区。预计此次研讨会将有100多名面对面的与会者和多达500名虚拟与会者参加。社区的持续讨论将使HPC中心和国家网络基础设施保持在威胁的前沿。这次研讨会将在堪萨斯州的威奇托市举行，并作为俄克拉荷马州-阿肯色州-堪萨斯州(OAK)超级计算联盟活动的一部分组织。传统上，橡树地区在重债穷国活动中的服务不足和代表性不足。纳入该区域的新兴机构(R2和较小的机构)将使当地工作人员和研究人员能够从与国家重债穷国专家的互动中受益。这将是在橡树地区举办的第一个此类讲习班，因此将有助于区域机构受益于国家专门知识。学生、妇女和代表不足群体成员的参与将通过财政支持计划得到鼓励。这将有助于地区和国家社区通过为应对网络空间当前和未来的威胁培养各种各样的个人而受益。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Keeping the nation’s Cyberinfrastructure and HPC installations safe from security threats depends on ongoing sharing of knowledge and technical know-how by community members. This workshop will bring together national, regional and local experts from government agencies, academic and research institutions, and the private sector. The inclusion of students and young professionals in the workshop will allow for the next generation of HPC experts to be cultivated and introduced to our community. It is expected that this workshop will bring together over 100 attendees in-person, and up to 500 virtual attendees. The continued discussion by the community will allow the HPC centers and national cyberinfrastructure to stay ahead of the threats.This workshop will be held in Wichita, Kansas, and is being organized as a part of the Oklahoma- Arkansas-Kansas (OAK) Supercomputing Consortium activities. The OAK region has been traditionally under-served and under-represented in the HPC activities. The inclusion of emerging institutions (R2 and smaller institutions) from this region would allow the local staff and researchers to benefit from interaction with the national HPC experts. This would be the first workshop of its kind to be held in the OAK region, therefore, would help the regional institutions to benefit from the national expertise. Participation from students, women, and members of the under-represented groups will be encouraged through a financial support program. This will help the regional and national community to benefit by preparing a wide variety of individual for the present and future threats in the cyberspace.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.
