Parallel Computing/High Performance Computing Curriculum Assessment
Dr. Lorie Liebrock of New Mexico Tech is supported by the IAS to assess the parallel computing and High Performance Computing (HPC) curriculum statewide and to evaluate how well it meets the needs of the state, universities, and the national laboratories. The objective is to identify roles that IAS can fill to support existing efforts, integrate diverse efforts, and fulfill unmet needs for current and future users of high performance and parallel computing (as well as the visualization support needed for such computing).
The full vision is an education program that extends beyond parallel computing. The plan is for a statewide program that looks at simulation from "cradle to grave." The New Mexico Computing Applications Center (NMCAC) will provide the visualization and simulation hardware and software. These programs are intended to integrate with the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition and other research-oriented education programs. Dr. Liebrock is exploring a number of federal funding options for the education programs and working with many others to build a plan for integrating many education programs across the state. This includes the Project 2012 "Scientist in the classroom." To facilitate this she is organizing an Education Summit that will bring these programs/people together to construct a comprehensive plan for the state. She is working with the Public Education Department (PED) and Higher Education Department (HED) in doing this.
