Conference: Organizing the Fourth High-Performance Computing Security Workshop

保持国家网络基础设施和高性能计算设施免受安全威胁，取决于社区成员不断分享知识和技术诀窍。该讲习班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。学生和年轻专业人士参加工作坊，有助培养下一代高性能计算专家，并将他们介绍给我们的社区。预计本次研讨会将汇集100多名现场与会者和500多名虚拟与会者。社区的持续讨论将使高性能计算中心和国家网络基础设施保持领先于威胁。该研讨会将在堪萨斯州的威奇托举行，并作为俄克拉何马-阿肯色-堪萨斯（OAK）超级计算联盟活动的一部分组织。传统上，橡树橡树地区在HPC活动中得不到充分的服务和代表。纳入该地区的新兴机构（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高性能计算专家的互动中受益。这将是在OAK区域举行的第一次此类讲习班，因此将有助于区域机构从国家专门知识中获益。将通过一项财政支持计划鼓励学生、妇女和代表性不足群体成员的参与。这将有助于区域和国家社会通过培养各种各样的个人来应对网络空间当前和未来的威胁而受益。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。

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.
