Jupyter Notebooks and User-Friendly HPC Access

摘要

In the modern world, having at least a basic un- derstanding of High Performance Computing is critical even for undergraduate students. In this project, we describe our extensible ecosystem of tools which has lowered the access barrier to HPC systems for less experienced users. Our ecosystem of tools serves as the ”one-stop” interface which allows users to focus on their research and teaching without remembering a lot of commands and syntax, or struggling with details like job submission or file systems. This environment is specially tailored for education. We provide a means for teachers to easily provide students access to information and assignments, and give students their own personal HPC sandbox, including access to a fully-functional, personalized Jupyter Notebook server.
