Abstract
The needs of cyberinfrastructure (CI) Users are different from those of CI Contributors. Typically, much of the training in advanced CI addresses developer topics such as MPI, OpenMP, CUDA and application profiling, leaving a gap in training for these users. To remedy this situation, we developed a new program: COMPrehensive Learning for end-users to Effectively utilize CyberinfraStructure (COMPLECS). COMPLECS focuses exclusively on helping CI Users acquire the skills and knowledge they need to efficiently accomplish their compute- and data-intensive research, covering topics such as parallel computing concepts, data management, batch computing, cybersecurity, HPC hardware overview, and high throughput computing.
