Spread the Word for Spring 2022 XSEDE EMPOWER
Seeking projects, mentors, and undergraduate students!

This is planned to be the final iteration of this program, as we are currently in the final year of funding from the XSEDE project.

An XSEDE-wide effort is underway to expand the community by recruiting and enabling a diverse group of students who have the skills — or are interested in acquiring the skills — to participate in the work of XSEDE. The name of this effort is XSEDE EMPOWER (Expert Mentoring Producing Opportunities for Work, Education, and Research). We invite the whole community to recruit and mentor undergraduate students to engage in a variety of activities, such as computational and/or data analytics research and education in all fields of study, networking, system maintenance and support, visualization, and more. The program provides a stipend for students who work on projects for one semester or one quarter.

To participate, undergraduate students from any U.S. degree-granting institutions are matched with mentors who have projects that contribute to the work of XSEDE. Participation is strongly encouraged for mentors and students belonging to groups historically underrepresented in HPC. There are three levels of participation for students depending on existing experience and skill level: Learner, Apprentice, and Intern. Appropriate stipends will support each student.

Application deadline for spring 2022 participation: October 29, 2021

High-Performance Computing on Frontera
High Performance Computing on Frontera is a three-day training series offered on consecutive Thursdays starting October 7. Registrants for this event are encouraged to attend all three days.

The first day (October 7), focuses on parallel programming with MPI. We provide an introduction to MPI in the morning and delve into advanced topics in the afternoon. We also discuss hybrid computing and the interplay between OpenMP and MPI with a single code.

On the second day (October 14), the focus shifts to OpenMP, again covering an introduction and some intermediate topics.

On the last day (October 21), we intend to cover Parallel I/O, the use of containers on TACC large-scale systems, and the use of Remora.
