DescriptionThe EduHPC Workshop is devoted to the development and
assessment of educational resources for undergraduate
and graduate education in High Performance Computing
(HPC) and Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC). This
year we are broadening the scope to explicitly include
data science curriculum (e.g. for new degree programs
and within data science centers) and topics related to
Internet of Things. PDC, HPC and data science now
permeate the world of computing to a degree that makes
it imperative for even entry-level computer
professionals to incorporate these computing modalities
into their computing toolboxes, no matter what type of
computing problems they work on. This workshop focuses
on the state of the art in HPC and PDC education via
contributed and invited papers from academia, industry,
government laboratories and other educational and
research institutions. Topics of interest include all
topics pertaining to the teaching of PDC and HPC within
Computer Science and Engineering, Computational Science,
and Domain Science and Engineering curricula. The
emphasis of the workshop is undergraduate education, but
fundamental issues related to graduate education are
also welcome. The target audience will broadly include
SC17 attendees from academia, industry, and research
laboratories. This includes both researchers and
educators, as well as the early adopters of the NSF/TCPP
curriculum guidelines on teaching PDC
(http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/curriculum/index.php). The
workshop is coordinated by the NSF-supported Center for
Parallel and Distributed Computing Curriculum
Development and Educational Resources (CDER). EduHPC has
been an SC workshop since 2013 with attendance of 90 in
2015 and 75 in 2016.
