DescriptionThe HPC community has always considered the training of new and existing HPC practitioners to be of high importance to its growth. The significance of training will increase even further in the era of Exascale when HPC encompasses even more scientific disciplines. This diversification of HPC practitioners challenges the traditional training approaches, which are not able to satisfy the specific needs of users, often coming from non-traditionally HPC disciplines and only interested in learning a particular set of skills. HPC centres are struggling to identify and overcome the gaps in users’ knowledge. How should we support prospective and existing users who are not aware of their own knowledge gaps?
We started the establishment of the International HPC Certification program that aims to clearly categorize, define and examine HPC related skills.
Oriented on the needs of practitioners, the program does not define a linear curriculum or interfere with content providers.
Ultimately, we aim for the certificates to be recognized and respected by the HPC community and industry.
