HPC Carpentry: Bridging the Gap in High-Performance Computing Education

Explore the HPC Carpentry project in this informative webinar presented by the Chair of SIGHPC Education. Delve into the evolution of this initiative, which aims to develop instructional materials for novice users of high-performance computing facilities. Learn about the project's roots in HPC communities and its use of pedagogical techniques and open-source community-based improvement. Understand how HPC Carpentry addresses the instructional gap for both new users of existing facilities and researchers in domains where HPC resources are becoming newly available. Discover the challenges faced by formal curricula and non-student researchers in acquiring computational skills, and how this project helps bridge that gap. Gain insights into the current state of HPC Carpentry, its strategic development plan, ongoing challenges, and interactions with the broader HPC community. Additionally, get an in-depth look at the current offerings of EPCC at The University of Edinburgh. This 48-minute webinar provides a comprehensive overview of an important initiative in HPC education and training.
