Technical Challenges and Opportunities • The technical challenges for workforce development are very steep • Divergent training structure • Tools for HPC are typically not pedagogically friendly • However, the opportunities are currently growing! • The HPC research focus is heavy on enabling parallelism • The ecosystem of new tools, models, and ideas is rich
Core Questions • What do "new recruits" (such as college grads) need to know to work in HPC? • How can curricula, particularly in Computer Science, be modified to meet those needs? • (What changes? What gets cut out?) • What are the languages, models, and patterns that are both pertinent for future employees and appropriate for pedagogical use?
