Computation is the tool of almost every academic field, including medicine, physics, astronomy, finance, and language. However, high-school students do not have access to resources to explore these fields, and are not exposed to advanced methods in these fields. Epoch, a student organization at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA), is working to provide these resources to the IMSA community.
Epoch is developing a student-developed CUDA-enabled high performance computing cluster to support Machine Learning (ML) and other computational workloads. Using this cluster, students can accelerate their training and computation workloads with highly-parallelized hardware.
Epoch is developing easy-to-follow curriculum to educate the IMSA community regarding ML and other computational fields. In addition to our Intersession events, we also hold various seminars throughout the year to engage the IMSA community.
Design and maintain the Epoch cluster to support the computational sciences.
Raising funds for cluster development and educational outreach.
Manage both internal and external relations and communicate with all stakeholders.
