DescriptionThis is a request to conduct a third annual half-day workshop on HPC training during the SC16 Conference.
Community interest in this topic continues to grow as the organizers work to promote this important topic internationally. The SC15 workshop organizers actively recruited more than 170 people to the SC15 event, more than twice the SC14 workshop attendance. We believe attendance also increased as a result of the workshop being conducted on Monday during SC15, rather than being held on Friday during SC14.
As a result of this effort, the International HPC Training Consortium was established to facilitate planning for the SC workshops, and for coordinating year-long efforts to sustain the interests identified during the SC workshops. Membership in the Consortium continues to grow and includes over 70 people from 15 countries.
The SC16 workshop will be used to highlight the results of collaborative efforts during 2016 to develop and deploy HPC training, to identify new challenges and opportunities, and to foster new, enhanced and expanded collaborations to pursue during 2017.
