Computational Science Education Focused on Future Domain Scientists

Abstract

The majority of university courses which educate students in high performance, parallel, and distributed computing are located within computer science departments. This can potentially be a hurdle to students from other disciplines who need to acquire these critical skills.We discuss a sequence of application-driven courses designed to educate undergraduate and graduate students who do not necessarily have a computer science background on developing scientific research software, with an emphasis on using high performance, parallel, and distributed computational systems.
