10/17/2015 Stakeholders Academia (two orthogonal partitions)  Educators and practitioners  Computer scientists and computational scientists Industry  IBM and Cray  Intel, AMD, and Nvidia Students  Graduate students  Undergraduate students Professional societies  ACM  IEEE Government agencies  NSF and DOE

10/17/2015 How to Engage Them (1) Academia  Revisiting curricula Parallel vs. distributed systems Multi-core, GPU, and cloud computing  Bridging the gap Computer science Scientific computing (self-taught) Industry  Actively engaging them Industrial-sponsored activities Conferences (SC) Tutorials

10/17/2015 How to Engage Them (2) Students  Recruitment “Attractive” curricula including new technologies “Best practice” in API, algorithms, and architecture design Professional societies  ACM Revisit ACM curriculum  IEEE Information meeting at both TCPP and TCDP Information dissemination using community mailing lists

10/17/2015 How to Engage Them (3) Government agencies  CNS and CCF of CISE at NSF Travel grants PD information sessions at IPDPS and ICDCS  Cyberinfrastructure MRI and CRI equipment grants  Teragrid initiative (national centers) Increase community accessibility Increase community training and workshops
