such as memory hierarchies, domain-specific knowledge) and which
1. What particular skills are needed for HPC (e.g., programming techniques, numerical techniques, familiarity with hardware such as memory hierarchies, domain-specific knowledge) and which of these skills are in short supply and/or most difficult to master?

2. Are academic programs (e. g
2. Are academic programs (e.g., computer science, domain-specific sciences) adequately preparing students for HPC. What should they be doing differently? What about training/preparation outside academia?
5
specific languages (eg, Fortran, C++,
3. How important are specific programming models (eg, MPI, PGAS, OOP) and specific languages (eg, Fortran, C++, JAVA) for HPC?
6
codes that are maintainable?
4. Where does one learn how to write, debug, optimize, and document large codes that are maintainable?

5. How do we deal with the need for life-long
(or at least career-long) learning?

6. Is social networking (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) useful for training recruiting, developing
HPC talent?
