SUMMARY:Filling the Gap between Education and Industry: Evidence-Based Met
 hods for Introducing Undergraduate Students to HPC
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nDiversity, Education, Workshop Reg Pass\n\nFilling t
 he Gap between Education and Industry: Evidence-Based Methods for Introduc
 ing Undergraduate Students to HPC\n\nBanchelli Gracia, Mantovani\n\nEducat
 ional institutions provide, in most cases, basic theoretical background co
 vering several computational science topics.  However High Performance Com
 puting (HPC) and Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) markets require 
 specialized technical profiles. Even the most skilled students are often n
 ot prepared to face production HPC applications of thousand of lines nor c
 omplex computational frameworks from other disciplines nor heterogeneous m
 ultinode machines accessed by hundreds of users. In this paper, we present
  an educational package for filling this gap. Leveraging the 4-year experi
 ence of the Student Cluster Competition, we present our educational journe
 y together with the lessons learned and the outcomes of our methodology. W
 e present how, in a time span of a semester and an affordable budget, a un
 iversity can implement an educational package preparing pupils for startin
 g competitive professional careers. Our findings also highlight that 78% o
 f the students exposed to our methods remain within the HPC high-education
 , research or industry.
