This project focuses on the rapidly evolving landscape of Modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems and the importance of preparing the next generation of engineers and scientists to navigate these advancements. With the emergence of multi-/many-core platforms like Intel Xeons, AMD EPYC, GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, as well as FPGAs, ARM, and OpenPOWER architectures, coupled with RDMA-enabled networking technologies such as InfiniBand, RoCE, iWARP, Omni-Path, Rockport, and Slingshot 10/11, it is crucial to understand and utilize these technologies to design HPC software stacks. The MVAPICH2 open-source MPI library and its derivatives have played a significant role in exploiting the potential of RDMA-capable networks, resulting in the rapid growth and adoption of InfiniBand in the HPC community. The popularity of MVAPICH2 is evident, with over 3,300 organizations worldwide (in 90 countries) utilizing these libraries, resulting in more than 1.677 million downloads from the OSU website as of May 2023. Moreover, an annual MVAPICH User Group conference (MUG) provides a collaborative platform for users, researchers, administrators, and students to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and discuss optimization strategies, troubleshooting guidelines, and other relevant topics. This project not only advances the field of HPC but also supports education, promotes diversity, and benefits society at large.The 2023 MVAPICH User group (MUG) Conference is a gathering of experts, including users, system administrators, researchers, engineers, and students, focused on sharing knowledge about the MVAPICH2 libraries. It provides a platform for discussions and presentations from renowned researchers, users, and system administrators in the field. The event also features contributed presentations selected by the MVAPICH team, focusing on tuning, optimization strategies, troubleshooting guidelines, and more. Scheduled to take place in Columbus, OH, from August 21-23, 2023, the conference is organized by a distinguished group of specialists in message passing (MPI) and networking technologies. To support student participation, the project will provide funding, enabling them to engage with the MVAPICH research and user community. The conference serves the national interest by fostering research dissemination, facilitating connections among researchers, and training the next generation of scholars, aligned with the mission of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The organizers aim to recruit students from diverse institutions, emphasizing inclusivity. Attending the conference offers students various benefits, such as 1) exposure to cutting-edge high-performance computing (HPC) technologies, 2) in-depth understanding of designing open-source software environments for HPC systems, 3) training on optimization techniques, and 4) opportunities for interaction with industry professionals and national laboratory experts. The NSF funding significantly impacts the future careers of researchers inHPC, networking, and message passing technologies, while promoting diversity within the field.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.

该项目着重于现代高性能计算（HPC）系统的快速发展的景观，以及准备下一代工程师和科学家以导航这些进步的重要性。 With the emergence of multi-/many-core platforms like Intel Xeons, AMD EPYC, GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, as well as FPGAs, ARM, and OpenPOWER architectures, coupled with RDMA-enabled networking technologies such as InfiniBand, RoCE, iWARP, Omni-Path, Rockport, and Slingshot 10/11, it is crucial to understand and利用这些技术设计HPC软件堆栈。 MVAPICH2开源MPI库及其衍生物在利用具有RDMA能力网络的潜力方面发挥了重要作用，从而导致了HPC社区中Infiniband的快速增长和采用。 The popularity of MVAPICH2 is evident, with over 3,300 organizations worldwide (in 90 countries) utilizing these libraries, resulting in more than 1.677 million downloads from the OSU website as of May 2023. Moreover, an annual MVAPICH User Group conference (MUG) provides a collaborative platform for users, researchers, administrators, and students to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and discuss optimization strategies, troubleshooting guidelines,和其他相关主题。该项目不仅可以发展HPC领域，还支持教育，促进多样性和福利社会。2023Mvapich用户组（MUG）会议是专家的聚集，包括用户，系统管理员，研究人员，研究人员，工程师和学生，专注于分享有关MVAPICH2图书馆的知识。它为现场著名的研究人员，用户和系统管理员的讨论和演讲提供了一个平台。该活动还包括Mvapich团队选择的贡献演示文稿，专注于调整，优化策略，故障排除指南等。计划于2023年8月21日至23日在俄亥俄州哥伦布举行，会议由消息传递（MPI）和网络技术的杰出专家组组织。为了支持学生的参与，该项目将提供资金，使他们能够与Mvapich研究和用户社区互动。该会议通过促进研究传播，促进研究人员之间的联系以及培训与国家科学基金会（NSF）一致的下一代学者来为国家利益提供服务。组织者的目标是招募来自不同机构的学生，强调包容性。参加会议会为学生提供各种好处，例如1）接触最先进的高性能计算（HPC）技术，2）深入了解HPC系统的设计开源软件环境，3）培训优化技术，4）4）与行业专业和国家实验室专家进行互动的机会。 NSF的资金显着影响研究人员INHPC，网络和消息传递技术的未来职业，同时促进了该领域的多样性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来进行评估。
