Summer School on High Performance Computing Networks and Clusters
The Information Science and Technology Institutes (ISTI) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) jointly fund this recruiting activity. During the eight-week Institute, employed students receive technical training/lectures, professional development seminars, and laboratory experience with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) staff and external mentors. A hands-on computer system laboratory/ machine room is provided, fully stocked with unassembled computer nodes, networking equipment, and assorted equipment, cables, and supplies. Practical skill development in setting up, configuring, administering, testing, monitoring, and scheduling computer systems, supercomputer clusters, and computer networks is emphasized. In addition, technical breadth is developed via exposure to a variety of key topics, technologies, and problems of interest through participation in tutorials, seminars, and facility tours prepared by the faculty coordinators and LANL mentors, computer professionals, and scientists. Within the Institute, students work in small project teams and present their work in a technical forum.
