SUMMARY:Increasing Undergraduate Research in Computational Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nIncreasing Undergraduate Research in Computational
  Sciences\n\nPantoja\n\nHigh Performance Computing (HPC) is used everywher
 e from e-commerce to machine learning. The main problems solved by HPC are
  related to computational sciences and affect almost all scientific discip
 lines. Training the students that will have sufficient knowledge in HPC is
  a crucial task of computer science departments in all educational institu
 tions. This paper describes the steps taken to increase the undergraduate 
 engagement in HPC disciplines in our undergraduate institution. The increa
 sed exposure allowed our computer science students to collaborate with oth
 er departments research projects by accelerating different computational i
 ntensive problems. In order to increase students knowledge in HPC we decid
 ed to offer classes at the undergraduate level in parallel programming and
  distributed systems; and to properly support these classes we invested in
  a lab specifically designed for parallel programming, with machines equip
 ped with the best multicores cpus and gpus so students can experience the 
 effects of massively parallel architectures in their code. \n\nUsing detai
 led enrollment, master thesis and publications from the last few years, si
 nce the last has been available; we can see a substantial increase in unde
 rgraduate students interest in the HPC area, and a great success in the nu
 mber of research master thesis as well as the number of peer reviewed unde
 rgraduate and graduate student-authored publications.\n\nTag: Workshop Reg
