Following is a list of the exciting activities we will participate in (MCS staff names denoted in bold).

SC23 Planning Committees

• ACM Graduate Posters co-chair – Bogdan Nicolae
• Tutorials chair – Franck Cappello
• Wayfinding Co-chair – Jose Manuel Monsalve Diaz

Gordon Bell Prize Finalist

Work by a team of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Penn State University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been selected as a Gordon Bell Prize finalist for 2023. The work, ​“Exascale Multiphysics Nuclear Reactor Simulations for Advanced Designs,” is the first simulation of a fully coupled, fully resolved nuclear reactor core. Key to the innovative simulation by the research team is the coupling of NekRS, a spectral element code developed at Argonne for computational fluid dynamics simulations, and Shift, a high-fidelity Monte Carlo neutron transport code. (Team members: Steven Hamilton, Tom Evan, Paul Romano, Misun Min, Elia Merzani, and others).

I Am HPC

Valerie Taylor, a Distinguished Fellow and director of Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division, will be moderator of the SC23 opening plenary ​“I Am HPC: Impact and Future Directions.” Taylor’s research focuses on performance analysis and modeling of parallel scientific applications, and she is also CEO and president of the Center for Minorities and People with Disabilities in Information Technology. She will be joined by three expert ​“thought leaders” for a lively discussion of the social impact of HPC in the context of leading scientific and technical achievements and resources. 

Broadening the HPC Community

Lois Curfman McInnes, a Distinguished Fellow and senior computational scientist in Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division, will give an invited presentation on ​“Broadening Participation in HPC: Together We Can Make a Difference.” McInnes is a leader in the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Broadening Participation Initiative. She will discuss how achievements in HPC drive advances in science and technology and how collaborative efforts, including those within ECP, are vital for creating a diverse and inclusive HPC workforce that can tackle big problems and change the world.

Sponsorship – Chameleon provides networking cycles for SCinet. It is the platform on which IndySCC (a division of the Student Cluster Competition) takes place.
