PROFILE
Christine Simpson
Contributed to the argonne-lcf/user-guides and ALCF_Hands_on_HPC_Workshop repositories by delivering targeted documentation and configuration improvements for high-performance computing workflows on Aurora and Polaris. Focused on enhancing onboarding and reproducibility, the work included comprehensive user guides for Parsl and Balsam, GPU usage documentation for Polaris, and expanded DragonHPC workflow instructions. Applied Python, Shell scripting, and configuration management to clarify MPI ensemble workflows, optimize resource usage, and resolve configuration issues. Iterative updates addressed technical accuracy, navigation, and support burden, while maintaining disciplined version control. The depth of work reflects a strong understanding of distributed systems and HPC documentation best practices.

Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Delivered Dragon Documentation Improvements for the argonne-lcf/user-guides repository, focusing on Polaris workflow and DragonHPC usage guidance. Implemented guidance on identifying allocated nodes, ensured 'qstat' is accessible in PATH, and removed obsolete -V notes. Clarified process launching, CPU/GPU affinity, and the distributed data layer, and added external example links for deeper guidance. Commits applied include a914ac9fc2ad1a2f73558bb45423960293b45a48 and 82bb09096446868be5fdcc9a09bfa048db3d3747.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 highlights include delivering Globus Compute Aurora deployment improvements for the ALCF Hands-on HPC Workshop, tightening configuration correctness, and expanding DragonHPC guidance for Polaris. Delivered a new engine configuration file for Aurora to optimize resources and updated GC materials/docs; fixed typos in sample config and corrected endpoint placeholders to improve user onboarding; expanded DragonHPC docs (installation, execution, MPI examples) and added a Polaris xalt unloading note to prevent conflicts. These efforts improve deployment reliability, reduce support needs, and enhance cross-project documentation for MPI workflows on Polaris.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for argonne-lcf/user-guides: Delivered two major documentation improvements targeting Parsl and Balsam users on Aurora HPC. Parsl on Aurora docs provide comprehensive user-facing documentation covering installation, setup, MPI/ensemble workflows, PBS job examples, and ongoing clarifications; includes refactors and removal of obsolete screen-related instructions. Balsam on Aurora docs provide end-to-end guidance for setup, installation, Aurora-specific configurations, MPI ensemble examples, CLI and Python API usage, and troubleshooting. The work improves onboarding, reduces support load, and enhances reproducibility of HPC workflows. Technologies demonstrated include documentation authoring, version-control-based iterative refinement, and HPC workflow structuring. Commit history shows iterative enhancements and fixes across both repos.
