For today’s summer student spotlight, Amy Byrnes, a Computer Science graduate student from University of Illinois Chicago, shared some of her favorite moments at the ALCF with us. She spent her summer exploring different tools for writing parallel code and compared strategies for parallelizing numerical methods for solving partial differential equations. She also began exploring the connections between HEP and #HPC, in preparation for her upcoming PhD work. “I've been able to run my code on Polaris, giving me first-hand experience not only with the power of a world-class HPC system, but also the logistics of getting a job running on one. I've also been able to have make connections with mentors and peers that I look forward to maintaining for years to come.” “I've had a lot of little moments where an idea I had for how my code should work went from being hazy to fully formed -- that tended to happen when I gave a potential solution time to ‘marinate’ rather than trying to force it to come together immediately." “But my biggest ‘aha’ moment came during a regular update meeting. I had been really struggling with figuring out what direction I wanted to go with my research beyond my time at Argonne National Laboratory. A supervisor made a comment to another student about a certain topic, and though that topic had been mentioned before, something about the way it was phrased that time just rang a bell in my head -- *this* was the thing I wanted to dig into! I think it just goes to show that progress is often hard to predict.”

Today we’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of our summer students, Aristotle Martin. A Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate from the Randles Lab at Duke University, Aristotle helped port the Fire Dynamics Simulator, a computational fluid dynamics model, to harness the GPU capabilities of ALCF's Aurora exascale supercomputer. "Having the ability to tap into experts at Argonne has been a unique experience in my work here. Whether the question relates to low-level aspects of Fortran, or getting advice on understanding performance projections, there is always someone we can reach with expertise in that area." During his time at Argonne National Laboratory, Aristotle worked in new areas that helped his expand his computing skills and expertise. "This experience has broadened my view of the computational science field by exposing me to other large-scale science codes and the issues they face. Despite the differences between the project I worked on through the internship and my own PhD work, I have already picked up on techniques that I plan to apply to my own university research."

interested in computational material science? check out this awesome workshop. I will be there!
On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce the 2024 Computational Materials Science Summer School – Fostering Accelerated Scientific Techniques (CMS3-FAST: https://cms3.tamu.edu/) at Texas A&M University. The 2024 CMS3-FAST builds upon the success of our twelve-year legacy CMS3 program. The school will take place in College Station, TX from July 7 – July 19, 2024, and will also be offered online. The application deadline is March 31, 2024. The school is free for all participants. Additionally, a limited number of fellowships will be made available to graduate students enrolled in US and international universities. For US-based students, the fellowship will cover accommodation during the school and partial support for travel, while for international graduate students, it will cover their accommodation during the school. For more details, see the attached flyer or visit our website. The financial support is generously provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Grant No. OAC-2321005.

Computing undergraduate majors cite building work experience as a top reason for taking part in a formal research experience (REU). Undergraduate research experiences are a promising tool for recruiting and retaining students in computing disciplines.

Very pleased that our paper from last year's undergraduate summer bursary project, analysing a better way of testing for COVID, has just been published at the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. There's a neat idea called group testing. If you are short of lateral flow tests, you could imagine two or more people putting their swabs in the same pot of solution and testing them together. If the test comes back negative, you can imagine everybody doesn't have the disease. If it's positive, you know at least one person is infected (but you might need to do more tests to find out who). We studied a version of this called tropical group testing. If you use a PCR machine, you don't just get a yes or no, you get a numerical score for "how infectious" someone is (the Ct number). So the question is how much this extra information helps in tracking down who the infected people are. We adapted some existing algorithms to this setting, studied them by simulation and proved theoretical performance guarantees. When I say "we", Vivek Paligadu (who is an undergraduate student studying Maths with Statistics in the School of Mathematics here) took the lead on the project to an extremely impressive extent. But it was also a pleasure working again with my ex-PhD student Matt Aldridge (now a lecturer at Leeds) on this, because some of the algorithms date back to our paper from ten years ago, before anyone even heard of COVID! Our paper is now available early access at https://lnkd.in/gD_2Gn-F and free on the arxiv at https://lnkd.in/gHxgVXud
