This project is NCSA's pilot internship program for cyberinfrastructure (CI) professionals, designed to address the shortage of a workforce with the specialized skills needed to support advanced CI operations. The program both provides internship opportunities for individuals who want to gain first-hand experience in the CI operations of a supercomputing center, and develops and refines instructional materials to serve as templates that are openly distributed for use by other centers and institutions to train CI professionals for scalability. Program interns work directly with a group of engineers in one of the areas of CI focus to gain hands-on experience in the deployment and operation of cutting-edge high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure at a leading HPC center. Graduates of this internship program will enter a workforce that will develop, deploy, manage and support advanced CI at other universities, centers, and industry to meet the needs of the national computational science research community. By doing so, the project serves the national interest by promoting the progress of science and advancing the national prosperity and welfare.Managing modern CI that supports scientific research is a challenging task which requires deep and broad knowledge and experience to plan, acquire, deploy, and operate complex HPC resources. This project plans to help prepare the next generation of system engineers and administrators knowledgeable about computer architecture, storage technology, interconnect, operating system, cluster software stack, user management, job management, resources monitoring, networking, and security, as well as best practices in the field. The goals for this internship program include expanding the talent pool by attracting and supporting professional development of minority and underrepresented groups in the field of CI, providing motivated individuals the opportunity to obtain real-world CI operational experience through a short, full-time program in an area already supported by NSF for its programmatic needs, and developing training materials and identifying best practices that will be contributed back to the community to be used stand-alone or in combination with an internship program to train next-generation CI professionals.

该项目是NCSA的网络基础设施（CI）专业人员的试点内部试点计划，旨在解决支持高级CI运营所需的专业技能的劳动力短缺。该计划两者都为想要在超级计算中心的CI运营中获得第一手经验的个人提供了内部的机会，并开发和完善教学材料，以作为模板，以公开分发，以供其他中心和机构使用，以培训CI专业人员的可伸缩性。计划实习生直接与CI重点领域之一的一组工程师合作，以获得领先的HPC中心的尖端高性能计算（HPC）基础架构的部署和运营经验。该实习计划的毕业生将进入一名劳动力，该劳动力将在其他大学，中心和行业发展，部署，管理和支持高级CI，以满足国家计算科学研究界的需求。通过这样做，该项目通过促进科学的进步并促进国家繁荣和福利来为国家利益提供服务。管理支持科学研究的现代CI是一项挑战任务，它需要深厚，广泛的知识和经验来计划，获取，部署和运营复杂的HPC资源。该项目计划帮助准备下一代系统工程师和管理员了解计算机架构，存储技术，互连，操作系统，集群软件堆栈，用户管理，作业管理，资源监视，网络和安全性以及该领域的最佳实践。该实习计划的目标包括通过吸引和支持CI领域的少数群体和代表性不足的团体的专业发展来扩大人才库，为激励人物提供了机会，通过NSF已经支持NSF支持的领域中的短暂，全职计划来获得现实世界中的CI运营经验下一代CI专业人员。
