Two SDSC Summer Institutes Open! - Deadlines April 12 & April 26
Women in HPC @ SDSC
Dear WHPC@SDSC members,
This email is a friendly reminder that applications for two of SDSC's summer institutes are open! Please share the details below with your community.
We are excited to announce that these programs have a limited number of travel awards to offset the cost of airfare, transportation, and registration. These are in addition to the Room and Board scholarships. The travel awards are intended for those who lack financial support from their institution and would otherwise not be able to afford the cost of attending. Preference will be given to students, staff, and faculty from HBCUs, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and those from non-R1 Institutions. See the “how to apply” page for details.
Deadlines are approaching:
- CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning Summer Institute – Friday, April 12
- HPC and Data Science Summer Institute – Friday, April 26
If you have any questions, please reach out to eve...@sdsc.edu.

CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning Summer Institute
- Preparation Day (virtual): June 18, 2024 from 9am – 11am (PT)
- Summer Institute (in-person): June 25 – 27, 2024
- Location: SDSC Auditorium, UC San Diego

Last day to apply: Friday, April 12, 2024
The CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning (CIML) Summer Institute introduces machine learning (ML) concepts to researchers, developers and educators to techniques and methods needed to migrate their ML applications from smaller, locally run resources, such as laptops and workstations, to large-scale HPC systems, such as the SDSC’s Expanse supercomputer. Participants will have the opportunity to accelerate their learning process through highly interactive classes with hands-on tutorials using SDSC’s Expanse.
Program includes:
- Overview of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel Computing Concepts
- Instructional and hands-on exercises focused on HPC techniques, Machine Learning, Scalable Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Large Language Model (LLM) inference
- Team works on prepared training problems
Testimonials:
"This is an excellent program. It covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of parallel computing to more advanced such as transfer learning. Instructors provide clear and engaging instructions. It is highly recommended.”
- Minh, 2023 CIML attendee
"Yes. The machine learning part is very good, high level of abstract and broad summary, better than many online learning material.
- Yanni, 2023 CIML attendee

HPC and Data Science Summer Institute
- Preparation Day (virtual): July 30, 2024 from 9am – 11am (PT)
- Summer Institute (in-person): August 5 – 9, 2024
- Location: SDSC Auditorium, UC San Diego
Apply Today! (https://na.eventscloud.com/si24)
Last day to apply: Friday, April 26, 2024
The HPC and Data Science Summer Institute is a week-long workshop held at the UC San Diego focusing on a broad spectrum of introductory-to-intermediate topics in High Performance Computing and Data Science. The program is aimed at researchers in academia and industry, especially in domains not traditionally engaged in supercomputing, who have problems that cannot typically be solved using local computing resources.
The Summer Institute will continue with a two part structure in response to the needs of our diverse user base and the increasingly diverse suite of resources and services that they need to utilize (often referred to as cyberinfrastructure). We recognize that while many researchers still need to write and parallelize their own software, a significant number of users of our supercomputers are not parallel/HPC/CI programmers (“non-programmers”). Rather, they use existing, robust third-party applications to solve problems in fields as diverse as phylogenetics, genomics, molecular biology, computational chemistry, material science, climate simulation and others. Nonetheless, these non-programmers still need to acquire specialized skills in order to effectively use advanced cyberinfrastructure. This year's Summer Institute is structured to support both programmers and non-programmers as well as those who can benefit from both.
Testimonials:
"The knowledge I acquired about HPC, parallel programming, machine learning, and data science from the SDSC was invaluable. Excellent Workshop"
- Anonymous, 2023 HPC & DS attendee
" Yes, I absolutely would. There is very little chance I would have learned this much material in one week on my own.”
- Jerry, 2023 HPC & DS attendee
