From their attendance to conferences, students can form professional connections and establish collaborations, market themselves to potential employers, get exposed to a wider network of mentors, and find inspiration for novel research avenues. Student mentoring programs play an important role in providing younger attendees with the necessary tools to take advantage of their participation at conferences. Student programs have emerged in several leading conferences, but are still far from being widely adopted. In particular the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) has been hosting a PhD forum and student program for over a decade. This program has evolved into a comprehensive training workshop that includes sessions on career planning and hands on tutorials on writing and presentation skills; it also provides effective opportunities for student networking. This project seeks to expand the IPDPS mentoring and outreach model into other conferences that fall under the broad field of parallel and distributed processing. Parallel and distributed processing has become increasingly important for a variety of disciplines where traditional computational methods lack the mechanisms to deal with large data volumes or expensive computations. As stated by NSF's mission, this project supports education and diversity, while promoting the progress of science by mentoring the next-generation workforce in the high performance computing discipline.This project has two concrete goals: 1) supporting student participation at the 32nd IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium. IPDPS is an international conference for engineers and scientists from around the world to present their latest research findings in all aspects of parallel computation. 2) promoting the adoption of student mentoring programs in other IEEE TCPP conferences, such as: AICCSA, DCOSS, DS-RT, e-Energy, HiPC, ICCABS, ICPADS, NAS, PACT, PERCOM. The beneficiary conferences are required to facilitate an introductory session where students network with peers and mentors. Additionally, conference organizers are provided with the logistic plan of IPDPS?s PhD Forum and are encouraged to have similar proven activities; including a poster session and mentoring workshops. Only students currently studying at U.S. universities are eligible to receive support from this NSF-funded project. This project targets especially students that typically cannot attended these conferences without financial support, such as undergraduate students, graduate students in their first years, and students attending their first conference. In order to increase the diversity of attendees, the project strongly encourages the participation of females and other underrepresented groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

从出席到会议，学生可以建立专业的联系，建立合作，向潜在的雇主推销，接触更广泛的导师网络，并为新颖的研究途径找到灵感。学生指导计划在为年轻的与会者提供必要的工具中发挥着重要作用，以利用他们参加会议的参与。学生课程已经在几个领先的会议上出现，但仍未被广泛采用。尤其是国际并行和分布式处理研讨会（IPDP）已有十多年的时间主持博士论坛和学生计划。该计划已演变为一个全面的培训研讨会，其中包括有关职业计划的会议和有关写作和演示技巧的教程的动手；它还为学生网络提供了有效的机会。该项目旨在将IPDP的指导和外展模型扩展到属于平行和分布式处理广泛领域的其他会议上。对于传统的计算方法缺乏处理大量数据量或昂贵计算的机制的各种学科，并行和分布式处理变得越来越重要。正如NSF的使命所述，该项目支持教育和多样性，同时通过指导高性能计算学科中的下一代劳动力来促进科学的进步。该项目具有两个具体的目标：1）支持学生参与第32届IEEE IEEE International International Parallel and Trangeted Processing processing研讨会。 IPDP是来自世界各地的工程师和科学家的国际会议，在平行计算的各个方面介绍了最新的研究结果。 2）在其他IEEE TCPP会议上促进学生指导计划，例如：AICCSA，DCOSS，DS-RT，E-Energy，HIPC，ICCABS，ICCABS，ICPADS，ICPADS，NAS，NAS，PACT，PACT，PERCOM。受益人会议需要促进与同行和导师网络的介绍性会议。此外，还为会议组织者提供了IPDPS博士论坛的逻辑计划，并鼓励进行类似的活动；包括海报会议和指导研讨会。只有目前在美国大学学习的学生才有资格获得该NSF资助的项目的支持。该项目尤其是针对通常无法在没有财政支持的情况下参加这些会议的学生，例如本科生，第一年的研究生以及参加第一次会议的学生。为了增加与会者的多样性，该项目强烈鼓励女性和其他代表性不足的群体的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估标准来通过评估来支持的。
