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 next-generation engineers and scientists are exposed to the modern architectural trends of HPC systems and learn how to use the features of these technologies to design HPC software stacks and 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 RDMA technology. Travel funding from this project will enable a set of undergraduate and graduate students to attend the MUG meeting. Their participation will help them to enter the next-generation HPC workforce with increased expertise in software design, reuse, and sustainability. The project, thus, serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission: to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity and welfare; or to secure the national defense. 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 Xeons, NVIDIA GPGPUs, Open POWER, and ARM architectures, coupled with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) enabled commodity networking technologies like InfiniBand, RoCE, Omni-Path, and iWARP. An annual MVAPICH User Group (MUG) meeting was created six 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 helps attract a set of students from a range of US institutions. Participation in an international event, such as MUG, enables students to obtain global picture of the developments happening in the rapidly evolving HPC domain and open-source software design. The selection committee plans to stress 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 技术方面正在快速发展。在如此快速变化的环境中，下一代工程师和科学家必须了解 HPC 系统的现代架构趋势，并学习如何使用这些技术的功能来设计 HPC 软件堆栈并了解开放式的过程，这一点至关重要。源软件开发及其可持续性。年度 MVAPICH 用户组 (MUG) 会议提供了一个开放论坛，以交流 MVAPICH2 库的设计和使用信息，这些库是开源、高性能和可扩展的 MPI 库，可利用 RDMA 技术。该项目的差旅费将使一批本科生和研究生能够参加 MUG 会议。他们的参与将帮助他们进入下一代 HPC 劳动力队伍，提高软件设计、重用和可持续性方面的专业知识。 因此，该项目服务于国家利益，正如 NSF 的使命所述：促进科学进步；促进国民健康、繁荣和福利；或确保国防。 MVAPICH 项目专注于为 HPC 系统设计高性能 MPI 和 PGAS 运行时。多年来，该项目已经能够融入新的设计，以利用 Intel Xeon、NVIDIA GPGPU、Open POWER 和 ARM 架构等新颖的多核/众核平台，以及支持远程直接内存访问 (RDMA) 的商用网络技术例如 InfiniBand、RoCE、Omni-Path 和 iWARP。一年一度的 MVAPICH 用户组 (MUG) 会议于六年前创建，旨在提供一个开放论坛来交流有关 MVAPICH2 库的信息。这笔赠款的资金旨在提高 HPC 领域（系统和应用程序）的本科生和研究生对年度 MUG 活动的参与度。所申请的学生旅行基金有助于吸引来自美国一系列院校的学生。参加 MUG 等国际活动使学生能够了解快速发展的 HPC 领域和开源软件设计的全球发展情况。评选委员会计划强调多样性，以吸引少数族裔和代表性不足群体的学生。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
