A Journey at SC24

This article is a firsthand account of my journey as a student volunteer at the Supercomputing Conference 2024 (SC24), the largest event dedicated to high-performance computing (HPC). It explores the technical innovations, inspiring keynotes, and collaborative spirit that make SC a unique experience. Through personal anecdotes, I share how the conference helped me organize my thoughts, connect with like-minded peers, and discover my path in the vast world of HPC. From the awe of seeing groundbreaking technologies to the importance of building a supportive community.

Every hero has an origin story

Three computer science students attended a summer school in Trento to explore HPC topics in depth. Throughout the conference week, they shared a house, meals, and experiences, fostering a strong sense of community. Inspired by their passion for collaboration, they decided to form a group to create a small cluster for their experiments. After the conference, these three students began working together to build a team that shared their vision and love for research and social interaction. Others from diverse backgrounds and specialties joined them, united by a single goal: to create an open cluster built and managed by anyone who wants to contribute.
