The diversity, scale and scope of
the national CI landscape
is sufficiently rich and complex that
researchers have to devote
time and patience
to determine which resource will best meet their needs.
We will explore available
systems,
services providers
and
technologies,
while focusing on
where and how to access these resources.

"How to Do an Intake Interview" /
"Intake Interview Demonstrations"
Dirk Colbry,
Michigan State U
Wendy Shan,
U Illinois Urbana-Champaign
In this session,
we will introduce some communication tools
that you can use during
an intake interview with new researchers.
These tools are specifically designed to help you
listen and get to the core of the problem,
while also building a relationship.
The session will end with
video examples of intake interviews
that demonstrate some of these tools.
As a group,
we will critique these interviews,
to help prepare you for
"live" intake interviews on Wednesday.

Introductory:
"Debugging, Profiling & Tuning"
Prasad Maddumage,
Corning Inc
Debugging is an essential part of software development. In fact, most
software developers spend more time debugging their codes than writing them.
The role of debuggers is to help this process. These range from gdb, a
free command line tool, to paid GUI software such as TotalView and DDT. We
will discuss few different debuggers available for serial and parallel
debugging.
Tuning refers to increase efficiency of existing software and
this involves profiling codes to find room for optimization. It is very
important to improve efficiency and scaling of software in general and
especially in the context of HPC.

TALK:
INTRODUCTORY:
"CyberAmbassadors:
Leading the Change: Equity and Inclusion;
Leading with Principles: Ethics"
Dirk Colbry,
Michigan State U
Mary Olson,
Oracle
Diversity,
in many dimensions,
offers both challenges and opportunities
to any relationship.
Learning to identify,
reflect upon,
learn from,
and engage with diverse perspectives
is essential to fostering
effective relationships and vibrant
intellectual environments.
"Leading the Change"
explores challenges and solutions for
creating more inclusive communities in STEM.
STEM professionals play an important role in
both teaching and modeling ethical behavior.
There are ethical issues centering on
the underlying technology:
how to set up,
maintain and secure resources,
and how to use them appropriately
to support research and practice.
There are also ethical issues
surrounding the relationships between
STEM professionals and
their colleagues,
supervisors,
and the public.
Reflecting upon and discussing ethical behavior
is an important part of
becoming an effective STEM professional.
