Modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are rapidly evolving with respect to processor, networking, and I/O technologies. In such a rapidly changing environment it is critical that the next-generation engineers and scientists get exposed to the modern architectural trends of HPC systems and learn how to use the features of these technologies to design HPC software stacks, learn about the process of open-source software developments and its sustainability. The annual MVAPICH User Group (MUG) meeting provides an open forum to exchange information on the design and usage of MVAPICH2 libraries, which are open-source, high-performance and scalable MPI libraries to take advantage of the RDMA technology. Travel funding from this project will enable a set of students (undergraduates and graduates) to attend the MUG meeting. Their participation will help them to enter the next-generation HPC workforce with increased expertise on software design, reuse, and sustainability. The project thus serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission: to promote the progress of science.The MVAPICH project focuses on the design of high-performance MPI and PGAS runtimes for HPC systems. Over the years, this project has been able to incorporate new designs to leverage novel multi-/many-core platforms like Intel Xeon Phis, NVIDIA GPGPUs, Open POWER, and ARM architectures coupled with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enabled commodity networking technologies like InfiniBand, RoCE, Omni-Path, and 10/25/40/50/100GigE with iWARP. An annual MVAPICH User Group (MUG) meeting was created five years ago to provide an open forum to exchange information on MVAPICH2 libraries. The funding under this grant aims to achieve increased participation of undergraduate and graduate students working in the HPC area (systems and applications) in the annual MUG event. The requested student travel fund will help in attracting a set of students from a range of US institutions. The participation in an international event such as MUG will enable the students to get a global picture of the developments happening in the rapidly evolving HPC domain and open-source software design. The selection committee will stress on diversity to attract students from minority and under-represented 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.

现代高性能计算（HPC）系统在处理器，网络和I/O技术方面正在迅速发展。在如此快速变化的环境中，至关重要的是，下一代工程师和科学家接触到HPC系统的现代建筑趋势并学习如何使用这些技术设计HPC软件堆栈，了解开源软件开发过程及其可持续性的过程。年度MVAPICH用户组（MUG）会议提供了一个开放论坛，以交换有关MVAPICH2库的设计和使用信息，这些信息是开源，高性能和可扩展的MPI库，以利用RDMA技术。该项目的旅行资金将使一组学生（大学生和毕业生）能够参加杯子会议。他们的参与将有助于他们进入下一代HPC劳动力，并提高了软件设计，再利用和可持续性的专业知识。正如NSF的使命所指出的那样：促进科学进步。 Over the years, this project has been able to incorporate new designs to leverage novel multi-/many-core platforms like Intel Xeon Phis, NVIDIA GPGPUs, Open POWER, and ARM architectures coupled with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enabled commodity networking technologies like InfiniBand, RoCE, Omni-Path, and 10/25/40/50/100GigE with iWARP.五年前创建了年度Mvapich用户组（MUG）会议，以提供一个开放论坛，以交换有关MVAPICH2库的信息。这笔赠款的资金旨在增加在年度杯子活动中在HPC地区（系统和应用程序）工作的本科生和研究生的参与。要求的学生旅行基金将有助于吸引来自美国各种机构的一组学生。参加国际活动（例如杯子）将使学生能够在快速发展的HPC域和开源软件设计中获得全球情况。选拔委员会将强调多样性，以吸引来自少数群体和代表性不足的群体的学生。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优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
