NSF Student Travel Support for 2022 ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (ACM HPDC)

2022年ACM高性能并行和分布式计算国际研讨会（HPDC）是一个重要的国际会议，旨在展示研究成果，问题解决方案以及对高端计算，协作，数据分析和其他创新应用的并行和分布式系统的设计和使用的见解。会议汇集了来自学术界，工业界和国家实验室的研究人员，开发人员和用户，讨论与并行和分布式计算相关的许多领域的最新进展和趋势。 会议将于2022年6月27日至7月1日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行。该项目将资助学生参加会议，深入参与HPDC研究社区。 学生将提高他们的整体研究技能，其中许多人将提交海报和论文。正如NSF的使命所述，该项目服务于国家利益，促进科学的进步，因为它提供了一个论坛，以传播研究成果，连接研究人员，并培养下一代学者。会议的学生计划委员会正在招募学生，强调多样性和包容性的代表性不足的群体和来自不同的机构。 为确保受资助学生积极参与会议，他们将被要求提交一份书面报告，总结他们在会议上的经验，包括他们认为有趣的论文和海报，以及这些论文和海报如何与他们目前的研究相关。会议旅费补助委员会还将在会议开始时与受资助的学生会面，为学生提供如何与会议发言人互动的建议，并与高级会议与会者建立联系。 NSF提供的资金将对未来一代高性能并行和分布式计算研究人员的职业生涯产生重大影响，同时鼓励该领域的多样性。该奖项反映了NSF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 2022 ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC) is a premier international conference for presenting research results, problem solutions, and insights on the design and use of parallel and distributed systems for high end computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative applications. The conference brings together researchers, developers and users from academia, industry, and national laboratories to discuss recent advances and trends in many areas related to parallel and distributed computing. The conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from June 27 - July 1, 2022. The project will fund students to participate in the conference, to engage deeply with the HPDC research community. The students will improve their overall research skills and many of them will be presenting posters and papers. 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. To ensure that funded students are actively participating in the conference, they will be required to submit a written report summarizing their experience at the conference, including what papers and posters they found interesting and how those papers and posters are related to their current research. The conference travel grant committee will also meet with the funded students at the beginning of the conference, to provide advice to students on how to interact with conference speakers and to set up connections with senior conference attendees. The funding provided by NSF will have a significant impact on the careers of the future generation of researchers in high performance parallel and distributed 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.
