A paper presenting a hands-on course that trains students in the deployment and management of high-performance computing clusters was introduced at the annual User and System Administrator Research Software Event (USRSE) earlier this fall. The paper highlights the growing need for practical skills to support increasing supercomputing demands.

The course, titled High-Performance Computing Technologies (HPCT), was presented by Fernando Posada of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and co-authored by Richard Berger of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It outlines the course design, methodology, and outcomes, focusing on real-world HPC cluster administration.

HPCT is part of a master’s program in high-performance computing taught annually at the International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and provides students with hands-on experience in building, configuring, and maintaining computing clusters used in scientific research.
