12th SC Workshop on Best Practices for HPC Training and Education
DescriptionThe inherent wide distribution, heterogeneity, and dynamism of the current and emerging high-performance computing and software environments increasingly challenge cyberinfrastructure facilitators, trainers, and educators. The challenge is how to support and train the current multidisciplinary users and prepare the future educators, researchers, developers, and policymakers to keep pace with the rapidly evolving HPC environments to advance discovery and economic competitiveness for many generations. The twelfth annual full-day workshop on HPC training and education is an ACM SIGHPC Education Chapter coordinated effort, aimed at fostering more collaborations among the practitioners from traditional and emerging fields to explore educational needs in HPC, to develop and deploy HPC training, and to identify new challenges and opportunities for the latest HPC platforms. The workshop will also be a platform for disseminating results and lessons learned in these areas and will be captured in a special edition of the Journal of Computational Science Education.
