SUMMARY:Filling the Gap between Education and Industry: Evidence-Based Met
 hods for Introducing Undergraduate Students to HPC
DESCRIPTION:Fabio Francisco Banchelli Gracia and Filippo Mantovani (Barcel
 ona Supercomputing Center)\n\nEducational institutions provide, in most ca
 ses, basic theoretical background covering several computational science t
 opics.  However High Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel and Distribu
 ted Computing (PDC) markets require specialized technical profiles. Even t
 he most skilled students are often not prepared to face production HPC app
 lications of thousand of lines nor complex computational frameworks from o
 ther disciplines nor heterogeneous multinode machines accessed by hundreds
  of users. In this paper, we present an educational package for filling th
 is gap. Leveraging the 4-year experience of the Student Cluster Competitio
 n, we present our educational journey together with the lessons learned an
 d the outcomes of our methodology. We present how, in a time span of a sem
 ester and an affordable budget, a university can implement an educational 
 package preparing pupils for starting competitive professional careers. Ou
 r findings also highlight that 78% of the students exposed to our methods 
 remain within the HPC high-education, research or industry.\n\nTag: Divers
