Abstract

The National Grand Challenges program has identified ten computational critical technology areas (CTAs) and there is a need to enhance HPC software usability to address these critical CTAs. We have evaluated the software training needs of HPC users based on the user survey records of 1998. An analysis of the HPC user survey indicates six major types of software being used at various locations. These are divided among system software, compiler software, special application software (in-house, large scale, and library software), software tools, virtualization software and small-scale software. We have ranked software by user training needs in the above six areas. The user software training needs for different software categories are ranked as: FORTRAN90, C++, C, and HPF for compiler software; MATLAB for small-scale software; LS-DYNA3D for special application software; FAST for virtualization software; MPI, and PVM for software tools; and Origin2000, T3E, C90, T90, and SP for system software. Additionally we have identified various Web sites and sources that offer software training courses. In addition, we offer on-site courses for training in FORTRAN, C++, C, and MATLAB and are planning to develop Web based courses in these areas. These training programs will increase the pool of well trained HPC software users and thus enhance HPC software usability.

通过评估和培训提高HPC软件的可用性

国家大挑战计划已经确定了十个计算关键技术领域(cta)，并且需要增强HPC软件的可用性来解决这些关键的cta。我们根据1998年的用户调查记录，对HPC用户的软件培训需求进行了评估。对HPC用户调查的分析表明，在不同地点使用的软件主要有六种类型。这些软件分为系统软件、编译软件、特殊应用软件(内部、大规模和库软件)、软件工具、虚拟化软件和小型软件。我们根据用户培训需求对上述六个领域的软件进行了排名。不同软件类别的用户软件培训需求排序为:编译软件FORTRAN90、c++、C、HPF;MATLAB用于小规模软件;LS-DYNA3D专用应用软件;虚拟化软件的FAST;软件工具的MPI和PVM;系统软件为Origin2000、T3E、C90、T90、SP。此外，我们已经确定了提供软件培训课程的各种网站和资源。此外，我们还提供FORTRAN、c++、C和MATLAB的现场培训课程，并计划在这些领域开发基于网络的课程。这些培训项目将增加训练有素的HPC软件用户的数量，从而提高HPC软件的可用性。
