Texas A&M Excessive-Efficiency Analysis Computing (HPRC) considerably contributed to the PEARC24 (Follow & Expertise in Superior Analysis Computing 2024) convention. Eleven HPRC and ACES’ (Accelerating Computing for Emerging Sciences) affiliate papers had been offered; 10 are included within the convention proceedings and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library, and one is featured in a particular version of the Journal of Computational Science Training (JOCSE). Two had been acknowledged as “Greatest Paper” of their respective classes, and one acquired the celebrated Phil Andrews Award.

Three HPRC PEARC24 papers replicate actions of the Nationwide Science Basis (NSF) funded SWEETER (Southwest Experience in Increasing Coaching, Training and Analysis), GenCyber (Cybersecurity Camp for secondary college youngsters), and NSF BRICCs (Constructing Analysis Innovation at Neighborhood Faculties) initiatives which might be led by HPRC Director of Consumer Companies and Analysis and Principal Investigator (PI) Dhruva Ok. Chakravorty. The BRICCs venture co-PIs are Sarah Janes (San Jacinto School), Tim Cockerill (Texas Superior Computing Middle, TACC), and Honggao Liu (HPRC). The PEARC24 paper was authored by Wesley A. Brashear (HPRC), with Chakravorty, Liu, Janes, Tabitha Samuel (College of Tennessee, Knoxville), Ralph Zottola (College of Alabama at Birmingham), Fidelis Ngang (Houston Neighborhood School), Stephen Miller (Japanese New Mexico College), and Lisa M. Perez (HPRC). BRICCs is funded below NSF award quantity 2019136,
Dr. Chakravorty mentioned, “Tutorial establishments are passionate about AI and CI-enabled (Computational Intelligence enabled) analysis and training, however solely a fraction of faculties and universities within the U.S. have entry to superior CI. BRICCs’ regional collaborations present a pathway for the tens of millions lacking from the federated CI ecosystem envisioned by the NAIRR Pilot program, amongst others. All contributions are wanted to handle world grand challenges.”
Eight HPRC PEARC24 papers chronicle the outcomes of benchmarking and different trials on the NSF ACES composable system that has been in testbed operation since August 2023. Its composable structure, that includes quite a lot of novel accelerators and agile reminiscence administration, is helpful when optimizing synthetic intelligence (AI) workloads. HPRC Govt Director Honggao Liu leads the ACES venture with Co-PIs Shaowen Wang (College of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), Tim Cockerill (TACC), Dhruva Ok. Chakravorty (HPRC), and Lisa Perez (HPRC). Thus far, 144 establishments (together with 15 EPSCoR) have used ACES to speed up the method of AI discovery in a large range of domains.
Phil Andrews Award
From the convention web site: The Phil Andrews Award honors the full paper submission deemed to have probably the most impression on analysis computing, broadly interpreted to embody all areas in scientific analysis, technical innovation, state of apply, and workforce improvement. The award is obtainable in reminiscence of Phil Andrews, a pioneer in superior computing infrastructure for over 25 years. Phil introduced super ardour and inventive power to NICS, PSC, SDSC, TeraGrid, and XSEDE. With levels in physics, arithmetic, and plasma physics from Cambridge, Purdue, and Princeton universities, he was skilled in synthetic intelligence, visualization, archiving, digital libraries, and computational medication. Throughout his profession, Phil authored roughly 40 papers on distributed and data-intensive computing and visualization methods, theoretical plasma physics, and nonlinear dynamics. The winner of the Phil Andrews Award is chosen by the PEARC Awards Chair and the Technical Program Co-Chairs, appearing as a committee, from among the many papers chosen as the perfect papers in every monitor. Figuring out a winner among the many glorious candidate papers is all the time tough, however the PEARC24 committee’s resolution to acknowledge the Texas A&M HPRC’s BRICCs paper was unanimous.
