During Summer 2020, I worked as an intern at the National Energy Research and Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). I was a part of the Application Performance Group mission to research on future exascale HPC technology and software.
My project was to work on Timemory project which is a modular software toolkit for heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) performance measurement and analysis, featuring support for a wide range of architectures, programming models & language with negligible overheads. Further, I learned and developed many skills in HPC programming, performance modeling & analysis, template meta-programming, and code-optimization.
My summer work granted me an offer for an internship for Summer 2021 and a pre-offer for post-doc at LBNL upon graduation. Lastly, I would recommend all FIU students to apply and do internships in their respective fields and acquire professional experience as it helps both in academia and for future job prospects.
