Summer computing camps for high school students are rapidly becoming a staple at High Performance Computing (HPC) centers and Computer Science departments around the country. Developing complexity in education in these camps remains a challenge. Here, we present a report about the implementation of such a program. The Summer Computing Academy (SCA) at is a weeklong cybertraining1 program offered to high school students by High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) at Texas A&M University (Texas A&M; TAMU). The Summer Computing Academy effectively uses cloud computing paradigms, artificial intelligence technologies coupled with Raspberry Pi micro-controllers and sensors to demonstrate “computational thinking”. The program is steeped in wellreviewed pedagogy; the refinement of the educational methods based on constant assessment is a critical factor that has contributed to its success. The hands-on exercises included in the program have received rave reviews from parents and students alike. The camp program is financially self-sufficient and has successfully broadened participation of underrepresented groups in computing by including diverse groups of students. Modules from the SCA program may be implemented at other institutions with relative ease and promote cybertraining efforts nationwide.
面向高中生的计算机夏令营正迅速成为全国各地高性能计算中心和计算机科学系的主要活动。在这些难民营中发展教育的复杂性仍然是一个挑战。在此,我们提出一份关于实施这一计划的报告。夏季计算学院(SCA)是一个为期一周的网络培训项目,由德克萨斯A&M大学的高性能研究计算(HPRC)为高中生提供。TAMU)。夏季计算学院有效地利用云计算范式、人工智能技术以及树莓派微控制器和传感器来展示“计算思维”。该计划沉浸在备受好评的教学法中;在不断评估的基础上改进教育方法是促成其成功的一个关键因素。课程中包含的动手练习得到了家长和学生的好评。夏令营项目在经济上自给自足,并通过包括不同群体的学生,成功地扩大了未被充分代表的群体对计算机的参与。SCA项目中的模块可以相对容易地在其他机构实施,并促进全国范围内的网络培训工作。

Developments in large scale computing environments have led to design of workflows that rely on containers and analytics platform that are well supported by the commercial cloud. The National Science Foundation also envisions a future in science and engineering that includes commercial cloud service providers (CSPs) such as Amazon Web Services, Azure and Google Cloud. These twin forces have made researchers consider the commercial cloud as an alternative option to current high performance computing (HPC) environments. Training and knowledge on how to migrate workflows, cost control, data management, and system administration remain some of the commonly listed concerns with adoption of cloud computing. In an effort to ameliorate this situation, CSPs have developed online and in-person training platforms to help address this problem. Scalability, ability to impart knowledge, evaluating knowledge gain, and accreditation are the core concepts that have driven this approach. Here, we present a review of our experience using Google’s Qwiklabs online platform for remote and in-person training from the perspective of a HPC user. For this study, we completed over 50 online courses, earned five badges and attended a one-day session. We identify the strengths of the approach, identify avenues to refine them, and consider means to further community engagement. We further evaluate the readiness of these resources for a cloud-curious researcher who is familiar with HPC. Finally, we present recommendations on how the large scale computing community can leverage these opportunities to work with CSPs to assist researchers nationally and at their home institutions. CCS CONCEPTS •CS→Computer Science; •Cybertraining→training on using cyberinfrastructure; •HPC→high performance computing
大规模计算环境的发展导致了工作流的设计依赖于容器和分析平台,这些容器和分析平台得到了商业云的良好支持。美国国家科学基金会还设想,未来的科学和工程领域将包括商业云服务提供商(csp),如亚马逊网络服务、Azure和谷歌云。这两股力量促使研究人员考虑将商业云作为当前高性能计算(HPC)环境的替代选择。关于如何迁移工作流、成本控制、数据管理和系统管理的培训和知识仍然是采用云计算的一些常见问题。为了改善这种情况,csp开发了在线和面对面的培训平台来帮助解决这个问题。可伸缩性、传授知识的能力、评估知识获得和认证是驱动这种方法的核心概念。在这里,我们从HPC用户的角度介绍了我们使用谷歌的Qwiklabs在线平台进行远程和现场培训的经验。在这项研究中,我们完成了50多个在线课程,获得了5个徽章,并参加了为期一天的会议。我们确定了该方法的优势,确定了改进它们的途径,并考虑了进一步促进社区参与的方法。我们进一步为熟悉HPC的云研究人员评估这些资源的准备情况。最后,我们提出了关于大型计算社区如何利用这些机会与csp合作,以帮助国家和家庭机构的研究人员的建议。CCS概念•CS→计算机科学;•网络培训→使用网络基础设施的培训;•HPC→高性能计算

A significant challenge in teaching cluster computing, an advanced topic in the parallel and distributed computing body of knowledge, is to provide students with an adequate environment where they can become familiar with real-world infrastructures that embody the conceptual principles taught in lectures. In this paper, we describe our experience setting up such an environment by leveraging CloudLab, a national experimentation platform for advanced computing research. We explored two approaches in using CloudLab to teach advanced concepts in cluster computing: direct deployment of virtual machines (VMs) on bare-metal nodes and indirect deployment of VMs inside a CloudLab-based cloud.
集群计算是并行和分布式计算知识体系中的一个高级主题,教学集群计算的一个重大挑战是为学生提供一个适当的环境,使他们能够熟悉包含讲座中教授的概念原则的现实世界基础设施。在本文中,我们描述了我们利用国家先进计算研究实验平台CloudLab建立这样一个环境的经验。我们探索了使用CloudLab教授集群计算高级概念的两种方法:在裸机节点上直接部署虚拟机(vm),以及在基于CloudLab的云中间接部署虚拟机。

This work explores the applicability of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for scaling High Performance Computing (HPC) training and education. Most HPC centers recognize the need to provide their users with HPC training; however, the current educational structure and accessibility prevents many scientists and engineers who need HPC knowledge and skills from becoming HPC practitioners. To provide more accessible and scalable learning paths toward HPC expertise, the authors explore MOOCs and their related technologies and teaching approaches. In this paper the authors outline how MOOC courses differ from face-to-face training, video-capturing of live events, webinars, and other established teaching methods with respect to pedagogical design, development issues and deployment concerns. The work proceeds to explore two MOOC case studies, including the design decisions, pedagogy and delivery. TheMOOC development methods discussed are universal and easily replicated by educators and trainers in any field; however, HPC has specific technical needs and concerns not encountered in other online courses. Strategies for addressing these HPC concerns are discussed throughout the work.
这项工作探讨了大规模开放在线课程(MOOCs)在扩展高性能计算(HPC)培训和教育方面的适用性。大多数HPC中心认识到需要为用户提供HPC培训;然而,目前的教育结构和可及性阻碍了许多需要高性能计算知识和技能的科学家和工程师成为高性能计算实践者。为了提供更容易获得和可扩展的HPC专业知识学习途径,作者探索了mooc及其相关技术和教学方法。在本文中,作者概述了MOOC课程在教学设计、开发问题和部署方面与面对面培训、现场活动视频捕捉、网络研讨会和其他既定教学方法的不同之处。本文继续探讨了两个MOOC案例研究,包括设计决策、教学方法和交付。所讨论的mooc开发方法是通用的,很容易被任何领域的教育工作者和培训师复制;然而,HPC有其他在线课程没有遇到的特定技术需求和关注点。在整个工作中讨论了解决这些高性能计算问题的策略。

The Cyberinfrastructure Security Education for Professionals and Students (CiSE-ProS) virtual reality environment is an exploratory project that uses engaging approaches to evaluate the impact of learning environments produced by augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies for teaching cybersecurity concepts. The program is steeped in well-reviewed pedagogy; the refinement of the educational methods based on constant assessment is a critical factor that has contributed to its success. In its current implementation, the program supports undergraduate student education. The overarching goal is to develop the CiSE-ProS VR program for implementation at institutions with low cyberinfras-tructure adoption where students may not have access to a physical data center to learn about the physical aspects of cybersecurity.
面向专业人员和学生的网络基础设施安全教育(CiSE-ProS)虚拟现实环境是一个探索性项目,它使用引人入胜的方法来评估增强现实(AR)和虚拟现实(VR)技术产生的学习环境对网络安全概念教学的影响。该项目采用了广受好评的教学法;在不断评估的基础上改进教育方法是促成其成功的一个关键因素。在目前的实施中,该计划支持本科生教育。总体目标是开发CiSE-ProS VR项目,以便在网络基础设施采用率较低的机构实施,在这些机构中,学生可能无法访问物理数据中心来学习网络安全的物理方面。

The HPC community has always considered the training of new and existing HPC practitioners to be of high importance to its growth. 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 competences. Challenges for HPC centres are to identify and overcome the gaps in users’ knowledge, while users struggle to identify relevant skills. We have developed a first version of an HPC certification program that would clearly categorize, define, and examine competences. Making clear what skills are required of or recommended for a competent HPC user would benefit both the HPC service providers and practitioners. Moreover, it would allow centres to bundle together skills that are most beneficial for specific user roles and scientific domains. From the perspective of content providers, existing training material can be mapped to competences allowing users to quickly identify and learn the skills they require. Finally, the certificates recognized by the whole HPC community simplify inter-comparison of independently offered courses and provide additional incentive for participation.
HPC社区一直认为培训新的和现有的HPC从业人员对其发展非常重要。HPC从业人员的多样化挑战了传统的培训方法,这些方法不能满足用户的特定需求,通常来自非传统的HPC学科,并且只对学习一组特定的能力感兴趣。高性能计算中心面临的挑战是识别和克服用户知识方面的差距,而用户则难以识别相关技能。我们已经开发了HPC认证程序的第一版,它将清楚地对能力进行分类、定义和检查。明确称职的HPC用户需要或推荐的技能将有利于HPC服务提供商和从业者。此外,它将允许各中心将最有利于特定用户角色和科学领域的技能捆绑在一起。从内容提供者的角度来看,现有的培训材料可以映射到允许用户快速识别和学习所需技能的能力。最后,整个HPC社区认可的证书简化了独立提供课程的相互比较,并为参与提供了额外的激励。

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has been running a variety of education, training and outreach activities addressed to all Australian researchers for a number of years. Based on experience and user feedback we have developed a mix of on-site and online training, roadshows, user forums and hackathon-type events. We have also developed an open repository of materials covering different aspects of HPC systems usage, parallel programming techniques as well as cloud and data resources usage. In this paper, we will share our experience in using different learning methods and tools to address specific educational and training purposes. The overall goal is to emphasise that there is no universal learning solution, instead, various solutions and platforms need to be carefully selected for different groups of interest.
波西超级计算中心多年来一直在为所有澳大利亚研究人员开展各种教育、培训和推广活动。根据经验和用户反馈,我们开发了现场和在线培训、路演、用户论坛和黑客马拉松类型的活动。我们还开发了一个开放的材料存储库,涵盖了HPC系统使用、并行编程技术以及云和数据资源使用的不同方面。在本文中,我们将分享我们使用不同的学习方法和工具来达到特定的教育和培训目的的经验。总体目标是强调没有通用的学习解决方案,相反,需要为不同的兴趣群体精心选择各种解决方案和平台。

The overall goal is to emphasise that there is no universal learning solution, instead, various solutions and platforms need to be carefully selected for different groups of interest.","PeriodicalId":330804,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Computational Science Education","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126690654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
