Closing Remarks- HPC Education and Training: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges

Workshop: 12th SC Workshop on Best Practices for HPC Training and Education

Authors: Nitin Sukhija (Slippery Rock University of PA)

Abstract: The rapid advancement of new HPC technologies has facilitated the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and HPC platforms to solve complex, large-scale, real-time analytics and applications for scientific and non-scientific fields. Given the dynamism of today’s computational environments, the traditional classroom approach for HPC pedagogy does not fit all needs required at various levels of education. The traditional computer science education, which typically mentions briefly the concept of threading, is no longer apt for preparing the future HPC workforce. Additionally, many K-12 and post-college personnel are encountering problems or are involved in projects where high performance computing can make a useful contribution. In recent years, there have been several pedagogical and andragogical approaches initiated by the HPC community to increase the instructional effectiveness for bridging the gaps in HPC knowledge and skills. This discussion aims to share experiences with educational challenges and opportunities that stimulate the acquisition of high performance computing skills.
