Responsibilities

  • The High Performance Computing Division (HPC) manages world-class Supercomputing Centers. Our employees engage in research, development, and state-of the-art software engineering, supporting development, design and effective use of largescale data and computational environments. Delivering computational capability and data management at petascale (i.e., across tens of thousands of processors and some of the largest, fastest, and most complex data movement and storage systems in the world) gives rise to cutting edge technical challenges. HPC Division innovates to meet those challenges. HPC is seeking undergraduate level students looking for a challenging paid internship for the current academic year and/or summer. All selected candidates will be provided with a mentor, a challenging project for their appointment, and an opportunity to present their project work and progress to colleagues. The student projects we have to offer will vary depending on the skills and interests of the candidate and our current needs.
