Not only did the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory take home top honors at the 2024 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24), but the lab's computing staff also shared career advice and expertise with students eager to enter the world of supercomputing.
The conference, held in Atlanta, Georgia, from Nov. 17 to 22, kicked off with an HPC Crash Course led by staff from the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, or OLCF, home of the exascale-class Frontier supercomputer. The course was attended by a group of 70 students who were introduced to programming basics and got hands-on experience working with Frontier and Purdue University's Anvil supercomputer.
"Crash courses are a great way to introduce Frontier and concepts in advanced computing to the next generation of scientific users and how they can use those concepts to benefit their science," Parete-Koon added. "They're also great ways to show them career paths that lead to the OLCF and data centers at other national labs, as well as advanced computing careers in academia and industry."
