**Project Description**

 

When I received the email of the project description it was very vague:

 

 

“High Performance Computing Performance Modeling:
The project is a research investigation into the factors that affect the performance of high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The top 10 applications run on SDSC's supercomputers will be profiled to ascertain their computational characteristics and performance. A correlations study will be undertaken to establish the relationship between program characteristics and performance.”

 
 
**But those of you that didn’t really get an idea of what**

**an email I received from my mentor as soon as I emailed her**
**the first time…(such as my thoughts on the email):**
  

We got to choose from two projects:
