SUMMARY:MS2H - Research Software Engineers (RSEs) in HPC
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nComputational science and scientific computin
 g are dependent on software, and this software is dependent on the people 
 who develop and maintain it. In the past, software was primarily developed
  by “hero” researchers who knew the research area and enough programming t
 echniques to build a code that they and sometimes others could use. Softwa
 re today, however, is larger, less monolithic, and more complex. Additiona
 lly, new tools (e.g., version control systems, CI/CD, etc.) add a layer of
  abstraction to combat the growing complexity and to facilitate developmen
 t. This leads to software that is developed by teams, including people who
  understand the research topic, people who understand the research softwar
 e ecosystem (scientists and engineers), and people who understand research
  software engineering best practices (research software engineers or RSEs)
 . Over the past 10 years, this RSE role has been identified and defined, w
 ith almost 10,000 self-identified RSEs and RSE organizations within many u
 niversities, national laboratories, and HPC centers. This session will sha
 re knowledge about RSE challenges with researchers who do or could work wi
 th RSEs, developers who know (or don't know) that they are RSEs, and manag
 ers who do or may hire RSEs, including faculty, group leaders, and HPC cen
 ter managers.\n\nBuilding the A Team: Organizing Effective RSE Teams for Y
 our Project\n\nIncreasingly, scientific discoveries enabled by high-perfor
 mance computing are becoming more interdisciplinary and complex, requiring
  a highly skilled team with diverse backgrounds. This talk discusses the i
 mportance of building such teams with a clear understanding of project goa
 ls and regular comm...\n\n\nAddi Malviya-Thakur (Oak Ridge National Labora

  Software Skills Pathways to Support the Future of High Performance and Ex
 ascale Computing\n\nWith research becoming ever more computational in natu
 re, there is a rapidly growing need for specialist technical skills in Hig
 h Performance Computing (HPC) and, increasingly, exascale technologies. Tr
 aditionally, HPC skills have been the preserve of a small group of highly 
 computational scientific...\n\n\nJeremy Cohen (Imperial College London)\n-
 --------------------\nImproving Inclusion and Accessibility in Research So
 ftware Engineering\n\nResearch software – specialist software used to supp
 ort or undertake research – is of huge importance to researchers. It contr
 ibutes to significant advances in the wider world and requires collaborati
 on between people with diverse skills and backgrounds. Analysis of the Int
 ernational Res...\n\n\nNeil Chue Hong (University of Edinburgh)\n---------
 ------------\nTesting. Testing? Testing! How RSEs can Assure Software Qual
 ity in Complex HPC Code Bases\n\nHPC software is often regarded simply as 
 a tool to advance science and publish results. However, the process of dev
 eloping and maintaining HPC software is getting more complex. Since the li
 fetime of a code outlasts the lifetime of an HPC cluster, porting and opti
 mizing for a new system is always req...\n\n\nIvo Kabadshow (Forschungszen
