SUMMARY:ClusDur
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nClusDur\n\nMorgenstern, Moore, 
 Wright, Fullwood, Tomlinson...\n\nWe are ClusDur – a team of enthusiastic 
 Durham University students who can’t wait to enter the world of HPC! We wo
 uld love to participate in IndySCC since it is the ideal opportunity to ge
 t first insights into supercomputing and gain cluster competition experien
 ce. This would be very valuable to us since neither of us has previously p
 articipated in any cluster competition.\n \nWe would do well in IndySCC du
 e to our interdisciplinarity, diversity of skill levels and breadth of tec
 hnical expertise. ClusDur consists of students from computer science, engi
 neering, mathematics and physics - with three of us being in their very fi
 rst year of study. \nInterdisciplinarity and diversity of skill levels are
  key to enable our students-teach-students approach and allow us to learn 
 and thrive together. This will help us consolidate and win through difficu
 lties, deadlines and all-nighters of the competition together.\n \nTo gain
  first HPC experience, Harrison, Joseph and Matthew have already participa
 ted in an introductory course on the usage of the Durham University’s supe
 rcomputer Hamilton. Further, Allaida, Jack, Matthew and Robert have alread
 y successfully participated in classical Hackathons such as DurHack. Hence
 , they have experience with solving challenges under time pressure and as 
 a team. \n\nAs third-year physics students, Harrison and Robert gained the
 ir first scientific computing experience through their computational physi
 cs projects. For Harrison, the project allowed him to encounter multiproce
 ssing and apply it to a scientific simulation. Robert used his project as 
 an incentive to gain experience with Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi. He taug
 ht himself system administration skills that are a great asset to the team
  when it comes to cluster configuration and shell scripting. \n\nAllaida i
 s a first-year Computer Science student. She has already acquired a solid 
 foundation in Python programming and adds experience with machine learning
  to the team’s skill set thanks to her participation in DurHack. Matthew i
 s a first-year Engineering student and brings domain knowledge and program
 ming experience in Python, C/C++ and MATLAB to the table. Allaida and Matt
 hew aim to further their practical CS skills and gain insights into scient
 ific simulations.\n \nJack is a first-year Mathematics student, with a str
 ong interest in systems level programming and related industry experience.
  He is eager to share his software development knowledge with the team. As
  a second-year computer science student, Joseph has a background and keen 
 interest in hardware optimization and novel computing approaches. Through 
 IndySCC, Jack and Joseph aim to further their knowledge about performance 
 optimization and gain insights into bare metal cloud computing. \n\nLaura 
 conducts research on parallel programming paradigms, especially on task pa
 rallelism in molecular dynamics simulations. She participated in the ISC S
 CC 2015 and aims to share her experience through mentoring.  Adam’s resear
 ch interests include the scheduling behaviour of task-based runtimes and h
 eterogeneous computing. He competed as part of Team Durham in the CIUK SCC
  2021 and is keen to mentor ClusDur through their first SCC. Tobias is con
 ducting research on the efficient implementation of multiscale algorithms.
  He's strongly involved as PI in the UK's exascale programme ExCALIBUR.\n\
