Georgia Tech showing off their HPL run.
In its second year, IndySCC is an event sharing the goals of the SCC but with an emphasis on education and inclusion, intended for less-experienced teams. The teams compete remotely, using hardware secured by the committee. The teams interface with the hardware using the Chameleon Cloud platform. For this year’s competition, we used over 300 nodes of a retired cluster at Purdue University.
Ten teams competed in this year’s competition from all over the world. The competition began in August with four educational modules where the teams learned the platform and the three applications. Each module included a webinar, homework, and a chance for Q&A.
From October 20–30, the teams took on the Hero HPL Challenge where they had 24 hours to build out a cluster of up to 300 nodes and produce the best possible HPL scores. To conclude, from Nov 4–6, the teams competed in a 49-hour (thanks, Daylight Saving Time) competition similar to the SCC. The teams competed to complete tasks from 3 applications as quickly and as accurately as possible – the teams were also interviewed by the app judges to judge their knowledge of the applications.

The SC22 Conference is underway in Dallas, bringing together members of the international high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis community to share the latest research, technologies, and demonstrations.
Exhibitors and visitors at the SC Conference this year will enjoy access to 5.01 terabits per second of bandwidth across 1 million square feet in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas thanks to SCinet, the dedicated high-capacity network for the conference.
SCinet is a collaborative effort by over 175 volunteer experts from 80 volunteer organizations that span industry, academia, and government. This spirit of collaboration is a major driver for the success and innovation that SCinet delivers on a yearly basis.
Seventeen organizations in particular were instrumental in supporting large-scale international science at the SC Conference this year, and they are being recognized with the SCinet Spirit of Innovation Award:
AARNet
APONET
ARENA-PAC
CENIC
Ciena
Cisco
HARNET
Internet2
KISTI
NICT
NII
Pacific Northwest Gigapop
REANNZ
SingAREN
TransPAC
University of Hawaii
Verizon
“The winners of the 2022 SCinet Spirit of Innovation Award have embraced the spirit of collaboration and cooperation that showcases the best there is to offer in demonstrating, implementing, and operating leading-edge solutions to challenging problems,” said Matt Zekauskas, SCinet Chair. “This collaboration is truly special to SCinet, and we are all encouraged by and appreciative of their efforts to showcase partnership and innovation.”
The research innovations are being demonstrated at the NICT booth at SC22 this year, and feature several experiments that will leverage International connectivity and technology support being provided by the collocating partners. These demonstrations will transmit data and video streams of various qualities across a multi-continental path, use cloud and edge computing approaches to perform at scale video processing and measuring and monitoring of the network infrastructure, and use this intelligence to dynamically control the network path.
SCinet contributors donate millions of dollars in equipment, software, and services that are needed to build and support the network each year for the SC Conference. At this year’s conference in Dallas, it’s estimated that contributions from 29 organizations will total $70 million.
AARNet, APONET, ARENA-PAC, CENIC, Ciena, Cisco, HARNET, Internet2, KISTI, NICT, NII, Pacific Northwest Gigapop, REANNZ, SingAREN, TransPAC, University of Hawaii, and Verizon were recognized at a private ceremony on Monday, November 14.

Like any large city, use common sense. Be aware of your surroundings. Remove your badge when not inside the convention center. Take advantage of the conference shuttle bus service or these walking options.
Safety Walks
You can request a courtesy walk throughout downtown Dallas seven days a week, 6 am–11 pm.
Call 214-741-1151 or use the See Say app.
For more information on safety initiatives Downtown Dallas Inc. has in place, including download links for the See Say app, see their website:
Preferred Walking Route
The preferred walking route for attendees staying in the Adolphus, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn and the Magnolia hotels is to make your way down Commerce Street to the plaza at the AT&T Discovery District (the “park” between the AT&T buildings and The Exchange) and proceed through the plaza down Akard Street to the convention center’s Akard Street entrance. Review the map below for guidance.
Our conference begins in just a few days. Whether you’re joining us in Dallas, or virtually from elsewhere in the world, I’m delighted you will be attending SC22. Welcome.
To me, HPC is all about speed. That’s why our theme this year is “HPC Accelerates.” Throughout more than 200 sessions – lectures, panels, exhibits, award presentations and more – you’ll see that theme come to life. You’ll also see this theme in the exhibit hall, where you’ll find more than 350 exhibitors ready to welcome you.
“HPC Accelerates” also describes how supercomputing is rapidly changing the world, by “accelerating” the speed of finding solutions – for corporations, governments, and other organizations. That was certainly proven during the pandemic, when the HPC community answered the call and illustrated the importance of being able to ramp up scientific research in the blink of an eye.
The world is spinning faster than ever, and HPC plays a key role in helping us all keep up. Innovative hardware and software are emerging every day throughout the HPC community. HPC is “accelerating” our understanding of the world; from weather forecasting in a world challenged by climate change, to the critical importance of scientific computing combined with artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics, HPC is helping to make new discoveries happen. And with the advancements in exascale and the exciting new field of quantum computing, we are developing specialized hardware to solve particular problems with unprecedented speed.
Planning for SC22 began more than three years ago. You may not be aware that SC conferences are planned and executed by volunteers from the global HPC community. You can see the complete list of volunteers on the planning committee page on our website. This year, we have more than 1,000 people who donated their time and expertise to bring you this conference, including:
- 735 Volunteers who planned and organized the Technical Program;
- 15 Virtual Logistics Volunteers who devoted countless hours to developing a new digital platform, purpose-built for our conference;
- 1 Mobile App Volunteer who worked diligently to bring the Eventbase mobile app back to the conference so you can connect with other attendees, whether in Dallas or virtually, as well as find your way around the convention center;
- 175 SCinet Volunteers who designed and deployed the world’s fastest network for the conference, capable of 5.01 terabits per second of WAN capacity and WiFi 6E wireless capabilities in the convention center.
The Digital Experience is now live and the SC22 Mobile App is available for download, so you can start planning your schedule. In the mobile app, be sure to “opt in” to make yourself visible to your friends and colleagues, so you can easily message and stay in touch during the conference.
It’s going to be a great conference. There’s still time to register, so if you know of someone who’s not yet attending be sure to let them know it’s not too late.
I’ll see you in just a few days at SC22!

Ground-breaking Technology and Revolutionary Musicians Distinguish the Same Dallas Venue
The Beatles and High Performance Networking may seem like entirely unrelated topics. But they’re connected this fall at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.
In 1964 the Beatles broke musical ground when they performed here, and now 58 years later another ground-breaking performance is underway.
“John, Paul, George, and Ringo performed in the venue where we’re now staging SCinet for SC22. Whereas they created amazing music, we’re staging record-breaking network capacity, including the first SCinet use of Wifi 6E technology for conference attendees. ” — Matt Zekauskus, Internet2
Zekauskus, who is SCinet Chair this year, is directing an international team of more than 175 volunteer engineers, technicians and students. It’s all in preparation for SC22, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis.
The SCinet team at SC includes 16 committees that range from plain English names like architecture, communications, contributor relations, experimental networks, help desk, logistics, power, network security and volunteer services to more jargon-heavy terms like dev-ops, edge, fiber, NRE and WAN transport.
It takes that team more than a year to plan, a month to build, a week to operate and a single day to dismantle the network. All of it involves extensive collaboration, or as Lennon and McCartney called it, HELP!
Starting October 19, equipment racks were initially staged in the convention center’s arena and then moved to its exhibit hall to deliver connectivity across half a million square feet. Those racks weighed about four tons.
When SC22 starts on November 13, thousands of attendees are expected to descend on Dallas from all over the world, but they won’t be isolated from global connections. SCinet will connect attendees, exhibitors, and network performance experiments to other high performance sites in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
The speed of that global network is expected to break the 3.02 Terabits per seconds (Tbps) delivered for last year’s conference in St. Louis, by delivering 5.01 Tbps of bandwidth to Dallas. That’s fast enough to download the movies “HELP!” and “A Hard Day’s Night” along with the entire movie collection in iTunes in about seven minutes.
About SC22
SC22 is the premier international conference showcasing the many ways high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis lead to advances in scientific discovery, research, education, and commerce. The annual event, created and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), attracts thousands of HPC professionals and educators from around the globe to participate in its complete technical education program, workshops, tutorials, a world-class exhibit area, demonstrations, and the world’s fastest temporary computer network.

Meeting up with old friends and making new ones is something that post-attendee surveys consistently tell us is a key reason why people attend the SC conference. And there will be plenty of folks to see at SC22 in Dallas.
Registrations for the conference are mounting, tracking at pre-pandemic numbers and predominantly for in-person attendance. If you’ve been on the fence about attending, now’s the time to make your plans to join the HPC community for what’s shaping up to be an outstanding conference. There’s still plenty of time to register; read about your registration options and then use the links in Step 4 to register.
SC22 strives to be an inclusive conference; ALL are welcome. We offer family resources including session access, a Parents Room that provides private feeding areas, and on-site care for children ages 6 months and older.
What’s Happening at SC22
Speed is the foundation of HPC, and will be at the forefront of our industry over the next year as more exascale systems come online. So it’s fitting that speed also serves as the foundation for SC22, with the theme HPC Accelerates. The conference offers a robust technical program, plus programs geared just for students and those early in their careers. Due to popular demand, pocket-sized, a program-at-a-glance guide is available at the registration desk.
A key metric of how an SC conference is shaping up is exhibit booth sales. And exhibitors are turning out to show their wares in Dallas; the exhibit hall will be filled with 350 exhibitors. Many exhibitors have increased their booth space from previous years. We’re also excited to welcome more than 50 new exhibitors, too. Be sure to grab your exhibitor map at the registration desk when you claim your badge so you can plan your stops and more easily navigate the exhibit hall.
There are options to connect with other attendees in the SC22 mobile app that will go live on November 1. The app is available for free for both Android and Apple devices; download from your app store (links will also be on the SC22 website). Once you configure the app’s settings to let you be visible to other attendees, you can interact with others whether they’re in Dallas or participating digitally.
If this will be your first time attending an SC conference, please check out the first-timers page and plan to attend the first-timers session on Monday, November 14, at 4 pm. You’ll learn tips for navigating the conference and have a chance to ask questions.
So join us in person in Dallas – or via the Digital Experience. It’s shaping up to be a great conference and we can’t wait to see you!
In our increasingly digital world, email has become the primary medium for professional communication. Making a good impression and using proper email etiquette can make a marked difference for all of us, especially for Early Career professionals.
With the return of a robust in-person conference, chances are you’ll be making new contacts with whom you’ll want to keep in touch. Follow these tips from the Early Career Program to help your emails sound professional and garner faster, more informative responses.
Use these tips from to keep in touch with those you meet at SC22.
Make the Subject Clear
The subject line is one of the first items a correspondent will notice. If you make your subject line short, concise, and clear, your email will more likely be given appropriate attention. Let’s look at an example:
Title 1: “Quick question”
Title 2: “Software Quality Process Question”
You might be tempted to go with the first title – it’s short and claims that the question is quick. The receiver, however, has no concept of the topic. Is it a subject in which they have sufficient knowledge? Will answering that question right now require context switching? The more descriptive you can be with the fewest words is the right way to get your reader’s attention.
Address and Sign-off Respectfully
How should you address your correspondent? Unless you are already familiar with them, it is always best practice to be more formal as a way to show your respect. Use their proper title and name (e.g., “Dr. Smith”) and make sure to spell it correctly. Additionally, make sure your salutation is sufficiently formal. Good examples are: “Good morning/afternoon”, “Dear (name)”, and “Hello, (name).”
Similarly, be professional and formal in your own sign-off and signature. End gracefully by using a phrase such as, “Please let me know if you have any questions” or “Thank you for your time.” You may then amend these with a professional farewell such as “Best” or “Sincerely”. We also highly recommend creating a standard signature block that includes your name, professional title, company or institution name, and your contact information. For example:
Dr. Janet Smith
Research Scientist
Institute of Science
P: 555-123-4567
E: jsmith@email.com
Keep It Short
Much like your own, your reader’s time is precious. If you can say it in fewer words, do. Start your email with one sentence that gives a high-level summary of the rest of the content. Use formatting to your advantage to bring attention to important information (e.g., bullet points, bold, italics). Make sure the questions, action items, and deadlines are explicit and easy to find. As an example:
I am writing this email to request a review of my presentation for the workshop next week. If you could please do the following:
Review the attached file
Send feedback by Friday at 12 pm
Avoid Informal Language
Tone and meaning are frequently lost in text-based media. This is especially true when taking cultural or language differences into account. Miscommunication can easily occur when cultural differences aren’t taken into consideration. It may be common for you to “hammer out details” with your colleagues, but to one who speaks English as a second language, they may not immediately understand what that means. To ensure clarity and accessibility, strive to use proper language with correct grammar and avoid slang/colloquialisms, excessive humor, and undefined acronyms.
Don’t Wait Too Long
Responding to emails quickly is an important factor in building a reputation as a reliable colleague. It can be difficult to reply to every email sent to you, but you should try. If a correspondent has taken the time to reply to you or reached out to you with a question of their own, it is a sign of respect to respond accordingly – and will make them more likely to do the same for you in return. If you can’t reply to the whole email now, that’s fine – send back a quick reply to let them know when you will get back to them (e.g., “I appreciate you sending this email and will reply in full next week.”).
Review Before Sending
Before hitting the send button, take a few minutes to review your email once again. If you are responding to an email, be sure you answered all the questions asked of you and be sure you are not asking questions already answered in the original message. Proofread to correct misspelled words. Are you confident your email is as professional as it can be? Then send it on its way!

Safe Space noun 1. a place that provides a physically and emotionally safe environment for a person or a group of people, especially vulnerable individuals and marginalized groups can feel secure and respected. 2. a place where people can freely express themselves without fear of prejudice, negative judgement, discrimination, or harassment.
SC strives to be an inclusive conference where all feel welcome. Should you not, here’s what to do.
While you are attending SC22, CARES will be there. You can find us in the Inclusivity Office in Room D164 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, or send a message to cares@sighpc.org and a member of the CARES Committee will contact you to set up a confidential meeting. We encourage all attendees – those in-person as well as virtually via the Digital Experience to please reach out if you experience discrimination or harassment, or have witnessed it, especially if you are unsure of next steps.
CARES members at SC22 can be identified by a diamond-shaped CARES button.
The SIGHPC CARES program was instituted last year to raise awareness of, and deter, discriminatory, harassing, or other unethical behavior and incidents related to SIGHPC activities and publications. Our goal is to empower all SIGHPC community members to speak up if they observe such behavior.
The role of CARES is to serve as a resource for those who experience discrimination and harassment at SIGHPC events like SC22. The CARES Committee is composed of well-known and respected people in the HPC community who are approachable, empathetic, and willing to help individuals navigate the ACM reporting and accountability process with respect and complete confidentiality. They are intended to act as a sounding board and provide advice on the appropriate next steps. The role of the CARES Committee is purely advisory.
