Teaching high performance computing to undergraduate faculty and undergraduate students

Abstract

A growing proportion of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) research is increasingly dependent on Cyberinfrastructure (CI). CI has experienced rapid progress in enabling technologies -- hardware, storage, networking, middleware, tools, libraries -- but much slower improvements in workforce development. Currently, CI consumers tend to lag substantially behind CI capabilities. This paper describes a series of linked efforts to address the gap between the workforce and the technology.
