The purpose of this proposal is to fund travel for undergraduate students to participate in the Experiencing HPC for Undergraduates program at the SC13, SC14 and SC15 conferences. The primary goal of this program is to lead the students into research as an undergraduate and then encourage them to attend graduate school in HPC topics in Computer and Computational Science. The program makes use of several existing parts of the SC technical program, with additional activities specific to the program. The unique content for the participants in this program will include an HPC boot camp session, talks by well known researchers in the field, a panel featuring current graduate students, and a panel on academic and industry career opportunities in the HPC field.The key idea of this program is that the best way to get people excited about HPC is to visit and participate in a major technical conference in the field. SC is an ideal venue for such a program since it combines elements of a high quality technical meeting (papers, posters, tutorials) with a major industry trade show (commercial and research exhibits, vendor briefings, birds of a feather sessions). By providing sophomore and junior undergraduates an opportunity to see what the field is about, it is believed that we can excite them about the field in time for them to apply to graduate school or decide on which industry to enter when they complete their bachelor?s degrees.The goal of this program is to expand the High Performance Computing workforce by encouraging talented undergraduates to consider graduate studies and careers in the field of HPC. The program will make a special effort to recruit participants from under represented groups and minority serving institutions. HPC is critical to many national goals from scientific innovation to product development. Currently there is a shortage of new students entering the field. This program is designed to try to help meet those national needs.

该提案的目的是为本科生的旅行提供资金，以参加SC13，SC14和SC15会议上的HPC本科生的HPC。该计划的主要目标是使学生成为本科生的研究，然后鼓励他们参加计算机和计算科学领域的HPC主题。该计划利用SC技术计划的几个现有部分，并提供了该计划的其他活动。该计划的参与者的独特内容将包括HPC新兵训练营，该领域知名的研究人员的演讲，以现任研究生为特色的小组以及HPC领域的学术和行业职业生涯机会的小组。该计划的关键思想是，让人们对HPC感到兴奋的最佳方法是访问和参加该领域的一场大型技术会议。 SC是这样一个计划的理想场所，因为它结合了高质量技术会议（论文，海报，教程）的要素与主要的行业贸易展览（商业和研究展览，供应商简报，羽毛鸟类的鸟类）。通过为大二和初中提供本科生的机会来了解该领域的意义，我们可以及时激发他们对他们申请研究生院的领域，或者决定完成学士学位时要进入哪个行业。该计划将做出特别的努力，以招募来自代表的团体和少数族裔服务机构的参与者。 HPC对于从科学创新到产品开发的许多国家目标至关重要。目前，缺乏进入该领域的新学生。该计划旨在帮助满足这些国家需求。
