Gig'Em Bytes
DescriptionThe Gig 'em bytes Student Cluster Competition (SCC) team is multidisciplinary with members from the departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Management Information Systems, Physics, and Statistics at Texas A&M University (TAMU).
Patrick is the team lead and previously competed in the IndySCC. He will be able to help the less experienced team members navigate their way through the benchmarking of the system, as well as the dissection of the applications to optimize their performance. He would like to gain an even deeper understanding of HPC systems through this intense competition, so that he can help diversify the scope in which it is used in industry.
Catherine has always been interested in problem solving, and has been heavily involved in areas of science. She is a physics major, and will select the computational physics track, so that she can combine her study of the physical world with the world of computation. She has not competed in the SCC before, but is very willing to work hard and excited to learn more about PHASTA.
Becky is currently working as a student technician at TAMUs High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) facility. She has seen how researchers utilize HPC to advance their studies and innovations, and she believes that HPC will help to shape the future. This competition is a perfect opportunity for her to gain more knowledge and hands-on experience with HPC.
Emmanuel is also a student technician at HPRC. He has assisted users in accessing the HPRC systems, and editing scripts to run correctly or more efficiently. As technology advances, more and more users depend on HPC for their tasks. This competition will be a great opportunity to further his knowledge and experience for his personal and professional career.
Lius is very familiar with computer components because he has been building computers since he was young and has spent his free-time learning about HPC. He has project based experience in Python and C++ coding which will be beneficial to the team. He is excited to work with HPC components and discovering how the knowledge he has now can grow and in what ways he can contribute to the challenges this competition will present.
Curran has been involved in computational chemistry research and HPC since 2020. He competed in the IndySCC21 competition which allowed him to progress further in his research and prepared him to pursue research as a career. He is ready for this opportunity to experience even greater benefits with this year's competition and he couldn’t be more thrilled!
Dr. Lisa Perez, Associate Director at TAMU's HPRC is the team advisor and possesses an extensive background in the computational sciences and HPC system administration. She led the multi-institutional Ag-Jag (TAMU/TAMU-SA) VirtualSCC20 team and Gig 'em bytes (TAMU/PVAMU) IndySCC21 team. Co-advisor Dr. Xin Yang is an Assistant Research Scientist at HPRC. She has expertise in the area of computational chemistry and HPC.
The Gig 'em bytes team is well-rounded in scientific disciplines and skill sets necessary to succeed!
