NERSC receives many high school and college students as interns, which is a great source of talent, especially if one is thinking of building a team for a competition. And that’s exactly what computational scientist Rebecca Hartman-Baker did. She pulled together six capable and accomplished high school and university students and built the NERSC Team for the 2016 ISC Student Cluster Competition. This collaboration is unique from a couple of different perspectives. To begin with, this is the first time NERSC is sending a team to compete in a cluster competition. Perhaps even more noteworthy: it is an all-girls team! Rebecca will be there guiding HPC wannabes Kristi Arroyo, Yong Li Dich, Davida Ngai, Grace M. Rodríguez Gomez, Elizabeth Wang and Ruoyun Zheng, who are set to compete against 11 other international student teams. The competition will start Monday, June 20, and the winners will be determined two days later. Read more at http://www.hpcwire.com/2016/06/08/series-firsts-nersc-isc-2016/
