HPC Training and Education Survey We are conducting an annual survey of the community needs and requirements We would like your feedback, and that of your local researchers and educators Objectives –Identify community training and education needs –Identify quality materials that already exist –Identify gaps in offerings we should focus development efforts on –Begin process to develop HPC Competencies

We Need and Value Your Recommendations What do you and your users need? –What is the right mix of introductory, intermediate, and advanced topics? –What topics would be most useful? –What is the right mix of live, sync, and async? What are you offering or developing? –Please submit any materials and events you may have to share via HPC University –What are you developing? Would you like to help review materials? –We have materials in HPC Univ in need of reviews –We are developing new content that will need reviews

Would the following be of interest to you for future Campus Champion training? Data storage and movement across TeraGrid Scientific Visualization - tools and services that are available to users Information Services - software tool kits available Allocations process update InCommon - how Shibboleth can benefit your users accessing TeraGrid from campus resources Open Science Grid opportunities How to create CI-Tutor training materials Other topics of interest?
