SUMMARY:Dabo's Tech Support
DESCRIPTION:Posters, Virtual Student Cluster Competition\n\nDabo's Tech Su
 pport\n\nCalhoun, Hollowell, Dube, Placke, Holt...\n\nHigh-performance com
 puting (HPC) has long been a priority and topic of research across several
  departments and colleges at Clemson University. Clemson students and facu
 lty regularly use HPC to revolutionize their field of study. Clemson has a
 ssembled a diverse and highly competitive team for this year’s Student Clu
 ster Competition. Each member has a strong foundation in traditional compu
 ter science and engineering, along with their individual experiences and s
 killsets for various aspects of the competition. With HPC backgrounds thro
 ugh academia and industry, the Clemson University team has a well-rounded 
 and unique skill set that makes us a competitive choice for participation 
 in VSCC. Participating for the first time in VSCC provides our team with a
 n opportunity unlike any other to combine our knowledge and creativity and
  expand our understanding of HPC, but to also lay the foundation for futur
 e opportunities in graduate school and industry.\n\nThe Clemson University
  team consists of six undergraduate students. The diversity of knowledge a
 nd experience through both academia (each student taking at least one HPC 
 related class) and industry, makes us an excellent choice to compete at th
 e VSCC’20 running the benchmarks/applications and the mystery application.
  Nikolas Heitzeg (senior ECE) and John Hollowell (senior CS) have experien
 ce in the fields of network security and cloud computing. John has interne
 d for LPL Financial, focusing on data loss prevention, and Nikolas current
 ly works for Net3 Technology, configuring cloud based clusters in Net3’s v
 irtual data center, for backup and disaster recovery. The remainder of the
  team is highly experienced in the field of parallel computing and partici
 pate in research in Dr. Calhoun's group. Griffin Dube (senior ECE) has int
 erned for Delta Airlines, focusing on highly parallel flight simulators th
 at model complex aerodynamics. Griffin is a SULI intern at ORNL optimizing
  GPU lattice-Boltzmann simulations on Summit, and he is vectorizing the SZ
  lossy compressor with Dr. Cappello from ANL. Cavender Holt (junior ECE) r
 egularly uses Clemson’s supercomputing cluster for ML-based real-time pede
 strian detection and lossy compression. Cavender will be taking a course o
 n parallel computing in the fall and is interning this summer with AWS wor
 king on ML based systems. Sarah Placke (junior ECE) is a SMART scholar who
  will be working with the missile defense agency to develop missile-detect
 ing software for the Navy. Sansriti Ranjan (junior ECE) is eager to apply 
 her knowledge of HPC and machine learning algorithms to the field of profe
 ssional sports to improve athlete’s performance. She is also a part of Cle
 mson’s IEEE robotics team, as well as the Line Team for programming reflec
 tance sensors on single-board computers. \n\nOur team is dedicated to expl
 oring the intricacies of HPC and application optimization. With each membe
 r having a unique knowledge base and years of research and industry experi
 ence, we aspire to put our skills to the test in this year's cluster compe
 tition. This competition serves as a meaningful milestone in preparation f
 or each individual's future careers and graduate studies. Through our form
 idable experience and our extensive preparation, Clemson University is an 
 excellent choice for VSCC'20.\n\nTag: Student Program\n\nRegistration Cate
