Broadening Participation in the Workshop on Leveraging High Performance Computing Resources for Big Data Management

拟议项目的目标是扩大任职人数不足群体的个人对“利用高性能计算资源管理大型数据集的第一次实践讲习班”的参与。这一为期一天的研讨会已被2014年IEEE大数据大会接受，暂定于2014年10月27日在华盛顿特区举行。讲习班的目的是让学员参与利用国家数字基础设施开展大数据管理活动，从而增加在数据驱动和数据密集型计算领域进行发现的可能性。通过拟议的项目，将资助来自任职人数不足群体的20名学生参加上述讲习班，并将支持他们参加大会的其他活动。

The goal of the proposed project is to broaden the participation of the individuals from underrepresented groups in the "First Hands-On Workshop on Leveraging High Performance Computing Resources for Managing Large Datasets". This one-day workshop has been accepted by the 2014 IEEE Big Data conference, and is tentatively scheduled to be held on October 27, 2014 in Washington DC. The objective of the workshop is to engage its participants in using the national Cyberinfrastructure (CI) for Big Data management activities, thereby enhancing the possibilities of making discoveries in the areas of data-driven and data-intensive computing. Through the proposed project, 20 students from underrepresented groups will be funded to participate in the aforementioned workshop, and will also be supported to participate in additional activities at the conference.
