Developing an Effective HPC Training Program: A Process Example from One Research University
DescriptionBuilding an HPC training program, keeping the program fresh, and meeting the evolving needs of users can be challenging. Considerations for beginning a program include the type of training, when to provide training, advertising methods, and how to measure the effectiveness of the program. Planning to ensure the training program is effective as it continues to change involves how often to offer a course, new hardware or software, time needed for instructor preparation, when to advertise the training schedule, and teaching strategies to engage users and provide the best learning environment possible. In this paper we describe the process we have developed over time to continue meeting the needs of our HPC community at Texas A&M University and beyond with our training program. The purpose is to provide one example of program development that could be useful to other institutions who are beginning an HPC training program.
