Scaling Research Computing Education

The MIT SuperCloud and MIT Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) present a special session at IEEE HPEC called Scaling Research Computing Education. This session is focused on scaling training and education for High Performance Computing (HPC) and research computing more generally across many dimensions, including number of users, range of experience, and emerging domains and workforce development.

Each year we select one or two themes for the session. This year the theme is “Scaling Up and Staying Engaged“. Past themes are listed below.

This year the session will occur on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 12:30 – 13:45 (Eastern Time). Attendees are welcome to stay in the session to allow for additional discussion and questions.

If you are interested in learning more about the session contact us at sc-eto@mit.edu.
