EduHPC-24: Workshop on Education for High-Performance Computing
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://tcpp.cs.gsu.edu/curriculum/?q=eduhpc24__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!d3wfXG5a3bdU5V5c0eCD0CzDefDs3ZcbTdJcyf4Exv28k4Ryx9UMu5sC104RwZDy4LPw4zCFPzQ7YOEo7wpaPYlh$ 

 From supercomputers forecasting weather and developing vaccines to 
multicore desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, most people use the 
methods and paradigms of high-performance computing (HPC) and parallel 
and distributed computing (PDC), either directly or indirectly.

Consequently, companies and laboratories require skilled personnel to 
efficiently utilize these modern computing systems. It's essential that 
Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), Data Science (DS), 
Machine Learning (ML), Computational Biology (CB) and similar 
compute-intensive programs provide students with HPC/PDC skills. 
However, rapid changes in hardware, programming languages, and 
development environments pose challenges for educators in deciding what 
and how to teach to suitably prepare students for HPC/PDC careers.

The EduHPC workshop invites unpublished manuscripts from academia, 
industry, and national laboratories on topics in HPC and PDC relating to 
computation-oriented undergraduate and graduate curricula, education, 
professional training, and workforce development. This year's workshop 
places emphasis on Machine Learning/Deep Learning at scale, reflecting 
the increasing importance of AI workloads on HPC systems. Previous 
workshops have featured papers from diverse fields, including Computer 
Science, Computational Science and Engineering, Data Science, and 
computational courses across STEM and non-STEM disciplines.

The workshop unites stakeholders from industry, national labs, and 
academia in the context of SC (Supercomputing) to discuss pedagogical 
challenges, share approaches, and exchange ideas on incorporating 
HPC/PDC education in undergraduate and graduate curricula. Activities 
include paper presentations, panels (e.g., sustainability and 
reproducibility in technical education), special sessions like “Peachy 
Assignments,” “Lightning Talks,” and collaboration opportunities, 
resource sharing, educator training, internships, and other cross-sector 
interactions.
