Abstract for the conference program

We provided empirical undergraduate research experience to students on a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster named High-performance Empirical Learning platform with Inexpensive Off-the-shelf Systems (HELIOS). Students had hands-on experience on the HELIOS cluster to conduct empirical research on HPC by applying their knowledge and skills to enhance the performance of the cluster. Students conducted their research through real hands-on experiments, and promoted their understanding in operating systems, computer networking, hardware configuration, system administration and management, and parallel/distributed computing. In this presentation, we will share how the HELIOS research project promoted students’ logical thinking, scientific inquiries, and systems skills.
