SUMMARY:BUHPC@SC20
DESCRIPTION:Posters, Virtual Student Cluster Competition\n\nBUHPC@SC20\n\n
 Keville, Li, Toro Vega, Van Roy, Zhang...\n\nThe members of the Boston Uni
 versity team this year consists of individuals from a wide spectrum of bac
 kgrounds.\n\nThe fields of study of the team range from Computer Science t
 o Biomedical Engineering and the members are experienced in both HPC-direc
 ted skills such as computational sciences and machine learning, as well as
  other imperative skills including writing and data visualization.\n\nThe 
 team has many direct experiences with HPC applications, including both CPU
  and GPU parallelization, with both finite solutions and random-number pre
 dictions.\nThe team also has experiences with cross-disciplinary HPC-relat
 ed fields. Computational studies of Fluid Dynamics, Cellular Biology, Phar
 macology, Astrophysics, Renewable Energy, and Magnetodynamics have been co
 nducted by team members as well as members being engaged with the Hackatho
 n community.\n\nIn addition, the team has numerous experiences with Data S
 cience and Machine Learning applications, with some having conducted ML-or
 iented research. One member has competed, and placed highly, in MIT’s Batt
 leCode AI tournament. The team also has specific experiences with Big Data
  Visualization including for Wikipedia articles and the NCAA March Madness
  campaign for Google Cloud. Another one of our members actively works with
  CNNs to develop better cell segmentation models.\n\nOne of the club’s act
 ivities this past year was participating in HPCBoston, an HPC competition 
 that was held by Northeastern University. As part of this competition, the
  team gained experience with benchmarking their system as well as undertak
 ing HPC-related workloads. Although the competition never took place due t
 o a lack of representation (a very sad outcome as the team was looking for
 ward to meeting and competing with other local schools), the team held an 
 in-house competition, with 2 internal teams.\n\nParticipating in this comp
 etition will be widely beneficial to the team members competing this year.
  Benjamin, for example, plans to pursue a career relating to HPC, and is l
 ooking for topics that will interest him. The other members of the club wi
 ll be taking HPC and GPU Programming courses in the future, and want to ge
 t a head start by gaining experience in the field. Moreover, previous year
 s’ team members who are no longer allowed to compete this year were inspir
 ed by the competition and are doing HPC research for their Ph.D program. W
 e hope this competition serves as motivation for all of our members to pur
 sue graduate studies in this important field!\n\nThe diverse yet important
  set of skills put together on this team allows it to excel in HPC applica
 tions!\n\nTag: Student Program\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg
