The given matrix \( A \) is:
\[
A = \begin{pmatrix}
2 & -1 & 0 \\
1 & -1 & 1 \\
-1 & -1 & 1
\end{pmatrix}
\]

We are tasked with evaluating the trace of \( A^{2024} \), i.e., \( \text{Tr}(A^{2024}) \).

### Steps to Solve:
1. **Eigenvalue Decomposition**: To calculate powers of a matrix efficiently, it is helpful to diagonalize the matrix. The trace of a matrix is the sum of its eigenvalues, and the trace of any power of the matrix is the sum of the corresponding powers of its eigenvalues. Thus, we first need to find the eigenvalues of matrix \( A \).
   
2. **Powers of Eigenvalues**: Once we know the eigenvalues of \( A \), say \( \lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3 \), we can compute \( \lambda_1^{2024}, \lambda_2^{2024}, \lambda_3^{2024} \), and the trace of \( A^{2024} \) will be:
   \[
   \text{Tr}(A^{2024}) = \lambda_1^{2024} + \lambda_2^{2024} + \lambda_3^{2024}.
   \]

Let me compute the eigenvalues of matrix \( A \) and use them to evaluate the trace of \( A^{2024} \).The eigenvalues of matrix \( A \) are approximately:

\[
\lambda_1 = 2, \quad \lambda_2 = i \quad (\text{imaginary part}), \quad \lambda_3 = -i
\]

When calculating \( \lambda_2^{2024} \) and \( \lambda_3^{2024} \), which involve complex powers, the result can lead to large values and numerical issues (overflow).

### Simplification:
- \( \lambda_1 = 2 \), so \( \lambda_1^{2024} = 2^{2024} \).
- \( \lambda_2 = i \) and \( \lambda_3 = -i \). Since powers of \( i \) alternate, \( i^{2024} = (-i)^{2024} = (-1)^{1012} = 1 \).

Thus, the trace of \( A^{2024} \) is:

\[
\text{Tr}(A^{2024}) = 2^{2024} + 1 + 1
\]

Let me compute \( 2^{2024} \) to provide the final result.The trace of \( A^{2024} \) is:

\[
\text{Tr}(A^{2024}) \approx 1.93 \times 10^{609}
\]

This is an extremely large number due to the dominant contribution of \( 2^{2024} \).
