We are thrilled to announce version 2.0 of the groundbreaking ByteBoost Cybertraining Program. ByteBoost is driven by the imperative to enhance researchers' proficiency and productivity when navigating cutting-edge, specialized computing technologies. We hope to empower researchers to make the best computing choices in the ever-changing landscape of computational technology. This initiative will focus on supporting researchers using the technologies of multiple NSF and DOE computing testbeds.

Program Objectives:

• Facilitate Seamless Research: Elevate the ease and productivity of researchers working with cutting-edge computing technology.
• Community Growth: Foster a well-informed community of computational researchers adept at handling the newest technologies and porting applications.
• Optimal Testbed Usage: Ensure the proper and efficient utilization of testbeds, a critical component in the recent surge of data-enabled science and engineering.

Target Audience:

• Early career-researchers and educators (graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and Assistant Professors) from all fields of computationally inclined research.
