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技术方面正在迅速发展。在如此迅速变化的环境中，至关重要的是，下一代工程师和科学家会接触到HPC系统的现代建筑趋势，并学习如何使用这些技术的功能来设计HPC软件堆栈并了解开源软件开发的过程及其可持续性。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本科生和研究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，并在软件设计，再利用和可持续性方面提高了专业知识。 因此，该项目为国家利益服务，如NSF的使命：促进科学进步；促进民族健康，繁荣和福利；或确保国防。 MVAPICH项目着重于HPC系统的高性能MPI和PGA Runtimes的设计。多年来，该项目已经能够合并新的设计，以利用新颖的多/多核平台，例如Intel Xeons，Nvidia gpgpus，Open Power和Arm Architectures，再加上远程直接内存访问（RDMA）启用商品网络，例如Infiniband，Roce，Roce，Roce，Roce，roce，Omni-Path和Iwarp。六年前创建了年度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），使学生能够获取迅速发展的HPC域和开源软件设计中发生的发展的全球图景。选拔委员会计划强调多样性，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的法定使命，并认为使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
