HPC Short Courses - a coordinated response for training the UK's next generation of HPC users

这是一个短期课程计划的建议，旨在为高性能计算（HPC）提供一个既严格又广泛的高级培训计划。该计划旨在与博士生导师建立伙伴关系，使导师能够专注于学生培训的更多学科方面。我们将提供三种类型的活动：（1）每年两周的住宿课程（秋季学院）旨在让学生从博士开始就开始使用HPC代码;（2）在秋季学院提供的基础上，以更专业的主题为基础，提供为期2年的短期住宿课程;以及（3）半天或一天的活动计划，尽可能使用Access Grid技术，旨在拓宽学生在HPC相关问题方面的背景，同时帮助他们与同龄人建立网络。建议的训练课程，是建基于申请机构及其所属13间院校在高级专业人员训练方面的丰富经验。

This is a proposal for a programme of short courses designed to provide an advanced training programme for High Performance Computing (HPC) that is both rigorous and wide ranging. The programme is designed as a partnership with PhD supervisors, freeing the supervisor to focus on the more discipline-specific aspects of their student's training. We will provide three types of activity: (1) an annual 2-week residential course (Autumn Academy) designed to allow students to start working with HPC code right from the start of their PhD; (2) A rolling 2-year programme of short residential courses on more specialised topics and that builds from the base provided by the Autumn Academy; and (3) a programme of half- or one-day events, using Access Grid technology where possible, designed to broaden the student's background in HPC related issues while also helping them to form networks with their peers. The proposed training programme is built firmly on the very considerable experience of the applicants and their 13 institutions in HPC training.
