Education in high performance computing via the WWW

摘要

Cornell Theory Center, a national center for high performance computing, has been designing and delivering education programs on parallel processing in traditional workshops for years. With the advent and growth of the World Wide Web, we have been able to expand our training efforts to a distance education format, including online lectures and exercises, communication with CTC consultants and other participants, and logins on CTC's world-class IBM RS/6000 SP. This description includes workshop design, technical content covered, design of the modules, and participants' response.
