Aaron @ Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) 2025

Aaron just finished up an incredible two weeks at the Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) 2025.

A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored program to develop key skills to design, implement and execute computational science and engineering applications on current and future high performance computing systems. Topics discussed included: numerical algorithms, performance modeling, GPU architectures, and scalable software tools.

Besides the technical content, one of the most valuable parts for Aaron was connecting with fellow researchers, developers, and industry leaders pushing the field of high-performance computing. His discussions with Kathy Yelick, Tim Mattson, and Jack Dongarra, made ATPESC a packed and eye-opening experience.

The conversations Aaron had, whether from quantum compilers (with Yuri Alexeev), heterogenous systems, or CI/CDs for OpenMP offloading, was both inspiring and practical for his current research.

Aaron sends his thanks to Raymond Loy and the rest of the organizers for bringing together an amazing opportunity to engage with his peers. As well as, Sunita Chandrasekaran for introducing him to this program.
