SUMMARY:Gig'Em Bytes
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nGig'Em Bytes\n\nPerez, Larson, 
 Kundeti, Diaz-Santini, Romero...\n\nThe Gig 'em bytes Student Cluster Comp
 etition (SCC) team is multidisciplinary with members from the departments 
 of  Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical & Computer Engineering, 
 Management Information Systems, Physics, and Statistics at Texas A&M Unive
 rsity (TAMU). \n\nPatrick is the team lead and previously competed in the 
 IndySCC. He will be able to help the less experienced team members navigat
 e their way through the benchmarking of the system, as well as the dissect
 ion of the applications to optimize their performance.  He would like to g
 ain an even deeper understanding of HPC systems through this intense compe
 tition, so that he can help diversify the scope in which it is used in ind
 ustry.\n\nCatherine has always been interested in problem solving, and has
  been heavily involved in areas of science. She is a physics major, and wi
 ll select the computational physics track, so that she can combine her stu
 dy of the physical world with the world of computation. She has not compet
 ed in the SCC before, but is very willing to work hard and excited to lear
 n more about PHASTA.\n\nBecky is currently working as a student technician
  at TAMUs High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) facility. She has see
 n how researchers utilize HPC to advance their studies and innovations, an
 d she believes that HPC will help to shape the future. This competition is
  a perfect opportunity for her to gain more knowledge and hands-on experie
 nce with HPC.\n\nEmmanuel is also a student technician at HPRC. He has ass
 isted users in accessing the HPRC systems, and editing scripts to run corr
 ectly or more efficiently. As technology advances, more and more users dep
 end on HPC for their tasks. This competition will be a great opportunity t
 o further his knowledge and experience for his personal and professional c
 areer.\n\nLius is very familiar with computer components because he has be
 en building computers since he was young and has spent his free-time learn
 ing about HPC. He has project based experience in Python and C++ coding wh
 ich will be beneficial to the team. He is excited to work with HPC compone
 nts and discovering how the knowledge he has now can grow and in what ways
  he can contribute to the challenges this competition will present.\n\nCur
 ran has been involved in computational chemistry research and HPC since 20
 20. He competed in the IndySCC21 competition which allowed him to progress
  further in his research and prepared him to pursue research as a career. 
 He is ready for this opportunity to experience even greater benefits with 
 this year's competition and he couldn’t be more thrilled!\n\nDr. Lisa Pere
 z, Associate Director at TAMU's HPRC is the team advisor and possesses an 
 extensive background in the computational sciences and HPC system administ
 ration. She led the multi-institutional Ag-Jag (TAMU/TAMU-SA) VirtualSCC20
  team and Gig 'em bytes (TAMU/PVAMU) IndySCC21 team. Co-advisor Dr. Xin Ya
 ng is an Assistant Research Scientist at HPRC. She has expertise in the ar
 ea of computational chemistry and HPC.\n\nThe Gig 'em bytes team is well-r
 ounded in scientific disciplines and skill sets necessary to succeed!\n\nR
