Title: PACS HPC Training Goal


1
PACS HPC Training Goal
  • Training is centered on the learner, draws upon
    the quality and quantity of HPC resources, shared
    among partners, and implements emerging distance
    learning technologies.

2
HPC Training Objectives
  • Meet Users Needs
  • Unify Multi-Partner Training
  • Implement Collaboratory Environments for Distance
    Learning
  • Provide Learning on Demand
  • Interface Training Opportunities
  • Deploy Learning Materials

3
MPI via WebCT
  • Why MPI?
  • Most requested topic from User Survey
  • Knowledge and interest at a number of partner
    sites (NCSA, OSC, AHPCC, BU, and UKy)
  • Why WebCT?
  • Expertise at NCSA
  • Features (self tests, glossaries, and discussion
    spaces)
