SUMMARY:INpack
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nINpack\n\nGough, Nickle, Sujath
 a, Oversteyns, Joshi...\n\nThis is a first-time collaboration for the Purd
 ue-IU Student Cluster Competition team; no team members have previously pa
 rticipated in the competition. IU has not competed in any major Student Cl
 uster Competition in many years, Purdue last competed in a major Student C
 luster Competition in 2019. All team members have some formal education in
  computational skill: basic programming through operating systems. However
 , their experiences are quite varied. There are first year students to fin
 al year students on the team, some students have robotics experience, othe
 rs have strong interests in foreign languages and philosophy. In forming t
 he Purdue-IU team, our philosophy was that we would leverage each others’ 
 strengths to enable peer-mentoring and, thus, provide leadership opportuni
 ties for the students. The Purdue student members are all currently acting
  as student HPC systems administrators while the IU students are engaged w
 ith software and applications. \n\nWe believe that our team is interdiscip
 linary. The Purdue-IU team has a strong technology focus in terms of area 
 of study but still captures a wide swath of interests. The “departments” o
 r fields of study represented here are Computer and Information Technology
 , Data Science, Computer Science, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Intelligent Sys
 tems Engineering. In particular, we note that Intelligent Systems Engineer
 ing captures computing disciplines combined with “domain science” discipli
 nes such as Cellular and Molecular Biology, Neuroscience/Neuroimaging, and
  Precision Manufacturing. Across the United States, it is becoming increas
 ingly common for interdisciplinary programs of study to emerge which blur 
 the lines between or blend what is considered computing and “domain scienc
 e”.  \n\nThe student team members have expressed interests in high perform
 ance computing because they view HPC skills as essential to their future c
 areers or because they believe that HPC (systems administration, applicati
 ons development, facilitation, etc.) is a viable career path. IU has not f
 ielded a cluster competition team in 10+ years; Purdue, however, has field
 ed over 12 teams at SC, International SuperComputing (ISC), and Asia Super
 Computing Cluster (ASC) Competition events. Those efforts have impacted th
 e lives, educations, and careers of over 70 students directly. Purdue team
  alumni have gone into HPC related fields, hyperscale businesses, and purs
 ued numerous advanced degrees. Additionally, there is excitement about bei
 ng on a team with students from another university. Purdue and IU are the 
 two premier public institutions in the State of Indiana. Traditionally, th
 e two institutions have had rivalries in sports but both institutions serv
 e the public good for the citizens of Indiana (and are welcoming of studen
 ts from other states and nations). \n\nThe advising team is led by Erik Go
 ugh, Lead Computational Scientist in Purdue's Research Computing Departmen
 t. Supporting Erik is a team of experienced HPC center staff and HPC facul
 ty including: Elizabett A. Hillery (Director of High Performance Computing
 , Research Computing at Purdue), Dr. Winona Snapp-Childs (Chief Operating 
 Officer for the Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute), Robert
  Henschel \n(Program Director of Research Computing Engagement at IU), Dr.
  Deepak Nadig (Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Infor
 mation Technology at Purdue) and Dr. Beth Plale (Professor of Computer Eng
 ineering at IU).\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits
