ABSTRACT:

Post-petascale systems and future exascale computers are expected to continue hierarchical architectures with nodes of many-core processors and accelerators. Existing programming paradigms and algorithms will have to be adapted to fit wider parallel architectures. The increase in heterogeneity of architectures points to a need in cross-training and collaboration among trainers across centers. Therefore, novel and portable methods of scalable algorithms that better manage the locality of widely distributed data, having fault resilient properties, will become necessary.
The critical need to educate the users to develop on the next generation HPC has been widely recognized both in USA and Europe. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the educators and scientists from the key HPC and Supercomputer Centers from USA, Europe, Australia and worldwide to share expertise and best practices for in-person, web-based and asynchronous HPC training tackling the HPC skills gap.
