SUMMARY:Team Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nTeam Phoenix\n\nThakkar, Jain, 
 Chen, Prindle, Montoya...\n\nGeorgia Tech is a melting pot for the world’s
  most creative and curious minds. Our campus facilitates strong relationsh
 ips, and from those relationships we build amazing things that shape our w
 orld. Our team is one such relationship.\n\nThe members of Team Phoenix a
 re Albert Chen, Aman Jain, Nicole Prindle, Marissa Sorkin, Sean Fish, and 
 Evan Montoya. We were brought together by our shared interest in high-perf
 ormance computing, and we hope that this competition furthers our experien
 ce in HPC and our involvement in the HPC community.\n\nWe have a strong a
 nd diverse team with members and advisors with varied experience across ac
 ademics, research, and industry. Collectively we study 7 of the 8 concentr
 ations in CS offered by Georgia Tech’s College of Computing. Our members d
 o research with Georgia Tech faculty in fields such as video analytics and
  compilers. Many of us also have industry internship experience for compan
 ies including the Georgia Tech Research Institute, State Farm, and Google.
  \n\nNicole and Aman are both TAs in the College of Computing for courses 
 on computer organization. Nicole’s passion for compilers and computing the
 ory drew her to this competition. Sean, Aman, and Albert all enjoy buildin
 g computers and working with server hardware, which inspired them to parti
 cipate in this competition. Albert is interested in the multidisciplinary 
 application of HPC in fields such as simulations and AI. He has taken an u
 ndergraduate introduction to HPC class which has provided him with a more 
 informed perspective on how HPC applications work. Marissa’s software engi
 neering experiences on data visualization projects, testing big data appli
 cations, and an internship at Intel all drive her interest in HPC.\n\nThe
  newest additions to the competition team are Evan and Sean. Sean, althoug
 h new to the team, has been a part of the Vertically Integrated Project (V
 IP) HPC undergraduate research class, a class designed specifically to tra
 in SCC teams, for over a year and has seen the team prepare for VSCC20. Ev
 an is a freshman who joined the team this past semester, and he is primari
 ly interested in the intersection between HPC, big data, and AI. \n\nFour
  of our team members participated in SCC 20 last year, and that team place
 d third overall. Having returning members as well as having learned lesson
 s from last year’s competition makes us especially strong contenders this 
 year.\n\nOur advisor is Vijay Thakkar, a graduate student at Georgia Tech
  and a finalist for the Gordon Bell prize in 2020. He is currently interni
 ng at NVIDIA and did a past internship at Cerebras Systems. This is his se
 cond time advising Team Phoenix.\n\nOur team’s background and experience 
 demonstrate both our skills and our ability to work as teammates. By compe
 ting at SCC, we hope to design a powerful computer system, optimize softwa
 re to push the limits of our system, and learn about applying core HPC con
 cepts to our own projects and careers.\n\nTag: Career Development, Diversi
