SUMMARY:Broadening Participation in HPC:  Together We Can Make a Differenc
 e
DESCRIPTION:Lois Curfman McInnes (Argonne National Laboratory (ANL))\n\nAc
 hievements in high-performance computing (HPC) ─ including computational a
 nd data-enabled science, analytics, learning, and artificial intelligence 
 (AI)  ─ drive progress in science and technology throughout our world.  Fo
 r example, collaborators in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Exascale C
 omputing Project (ECP) are pushing advances across a compelling range of s
 cientific and engineering disciplines by pioneering a robust ecosystem of 
 software technologies that exploit cutting-edge exascale computer architec
 tures. \n\nIn order for the HPC community to address the most urgent scien
 tific and societal challenges of the 21st century, the HPC workforce must 
 embody a wide range of skills and perspectives … fully reflecting the dive
 rsity of society, including traditionally underrepresented communities — B
 lack or African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, Alaska Native,
  Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders, women, persons with disabilities, and
  first-generation scholars.\n\nEach of us can make important contributions
  to broadening participation in HPC. This presentation will provide an ove
 rview of a variety of workforce efforts throughout the HPC community and o
 pportunities for involvement. We will discuss the contributions of DOE lab
  staff who are working as part of the ECP Broadening Participation Initiat
 ive to address DOE workforce challenges through a lens that considers the 
 distinct needs and culture of high-performance computing.  Activities focu
 s on three complementary thrusts: (1) Establishing an HPC Workforce Develo
 pment and Retention Action Group to foster a supportive and inclusive cult
 ure in DOE labs and communities; (2) expanding the Sustainable Research Pa
 thways (SRP) internship and workforce development program as a multi-lab c
 ohort of students from underrepresented groups (and faculty working with t
 hem), who collaborate with DOE lab staff on world-class R&D projects; and 
 (3) creating the Intro to HPC Bootcamp, an immersive program designed to e
 ngage students in energy justice using project-based pedagogy and real-lif
 e science stories to teach foundational skills in HPC, scalable AI, and an
 alytics while exposing students to the excitement of DOE mission-driven te
 am science.  The presentation will highlight the first bootcamp (a collabo
 ration among staff from advanced computing facilities at Argonne, Lawrence
  Berkeley, and Oak Ridge National Labs, Sustainable Horizons Institute, th
 e DOE Office of Economic Impact and Diversity, and academic partners), whi
 ch took place in August 2023 and featured a variety of HPC energy justice 
 projects inspired by the DOE Justice40 Initiative. We will also consider c
 hallenges and opportunities for future work to broaden participation in HP
 C.\n\nTag: Education, HPC in Society\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Progra
