Scaling HPC Education

With the explosion in artificial intelligence and machine learning, modeling, simulation, and data analytics, High Performance Computing (HPC) has grown to become an essential tool across academic disciplines. However, HPC expertise remains in short supply with a shortage of people who know how to make HPC systems work and how to use them. At September’s IEEE HPEC 2019 conference, a session chaired by Dr Julie Mullen (MIT LLSC) and Lauren Milechen (MIT EAPS) (who are involved with the MGHPCC hosted MIT SuperCloud System) provided a platform for members of local area research computing teams to share how they are scaling up HPC education in response.
