SUMMARY:Enhancing HPC Curriculum through Competitions
DESCRIPTION:Cristina Carbunaru and Sriram Sami (National University of Sin
 gapore)\n\nHigh Performance Computing (HPC) is a critical driver of progre
 ss in artificial intelligence (AI), data-intensive science, and engineerin
 g. At the National University of Singapore, concepts of parallelism are ta
 ught in courses such as Parallel Computing and Parallel and Concurrent Pro
 gramming. These provide strong theoretical foundations, but gaps remain in
  systems-level competencies, particularly in deploying, optimizing, and sc
 aling applications on real HPC platforms. To address this, we introduced i
 nitiatives such as participation in student cluster competitions to train 
 students in resource management, profiling, monitoring, and containerized 
 workflows. This experiential learning bridges theory with operational expe
 rtise. Challenges include the steep learning curve of complex systems, lim
 ited access to shared infrastructure, and the need for up-to-date instruct
 ional expertise. Sustainable HPC curriculum development requires gradual e
 xpansion of topics, integration of hands-on training, and competition-driv
 en learning. Formal HPC courses will enhance readiness for careers in comp
 utational science and AI, and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration.\n\n
