Abstract

Lightning talks of EduHPC are a venue where HPC educators discuss work in progress. This paper summarizes the EduHPC 2020 lightning talks, which cover four very different areas: (i) The simulation-based pedagogy of the EduWRENCH project, including motivations for using simulation to teach High Performance Computing, the design principles underlying EduWRENCH modules, a survey of the available modules, a look at a particular module, plus a conclusion including lesson learned thus far and future plans. (ii) The use of the software-tuning component from Student Cluster Competitions in the HPC master's program at the University of Liverpool. (iii) Steps being taken by the Computer Systems Genome Project at Virginia Tech to foster a community atmosphere among the diverse students working to catalog the lineage of computer system performance over time. (iv) A 3-semester master's degree program titled Computational Engineering, focused on HPC training, being offered at the University of Warsaw.
