Since 2011, the SDSU Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) has hosted research booths and SDSU students at the annual Supercomputing meetings. SC16 programs and activities include a strong technical meeting and associated workshops (with peer-reviewed publications), as well as an industrial exhibit where attendees can visit research, education, and vendor booths. SC is where new advances in computing technologies are showcased, advances in research are presented, educational institutions feature their programs. It is the primary annual gathering for researchers, developers, and commercial companies involved in high-end supercomputing, big data, and high speed networks. Meeting attendance is over 13,000 attendees and 340 exhibitors, including several CSRC faculty and students in presenting several research projects or participating in student programs.

There is a tradition at SC meetings where researchers not only submit and attend technical presentations, but many of the universities and national research laboratories host research booths, which are included as part of the technical exhibits. These booths are used to promote research being conducted, arrange meetings, interact with attendees, and to disseminate information about undergraduate and graduate studies programs. Key goals of this CSRC research booth include:

  • Raising awareness within the HPC community about the quality of research and education at SDSU and ncreasing awareness of High-end computing within the SDSU community.
  • Introducing SDSU PhD programs to professors, attendees from other Universities who might be in a position to refer undergraduates to our program, and vendors who might support the program or Ph.D. students.
  • Increasing the level of participation by CSRC, Colleges of Sciences and Engineering, and SDSU faculty, research and student communities.
  • Mentoring SDSU students.
  • Serving as a gathering place for SDSU alumni and for local San Diego vendors to drop by and talk about SDSU.
