SUMMARY:Introduction - Fifth SC Workshop on Best Practices for HPC Trainin
 g and Education
DESCRIPTION:Nitin Sukhija (Slippery  Rock University of Pennsylvania), Sco
 tt Lathrop (University of Illinois), Nia Alexandrov (Hartree Centre), and 
 Julia Mullen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)\n\nHigh-Performance C
 omputing (HPC) has become central for empowering progress in scientific, t
 echnical, social, business and medical domains by facilitating the solutio
 n of large-scale complex scientific and big data applications in a range o
 f diverse fields.  However, the inherent wide distribution, heterogeneity,
  and dynamism of current and future computing and software environments in
 creasingly challenge new and existing practitioners along with the cyberin
 frastructure facilitators, trainers and educators who are charged with dev
 eloping and delivering HPC educational content and training. Furthermore, 
 recent advances in educational technology and andragogical approaches crea
 te both challenges and opportunities for reaching a larger and more divers
 e community. The commonality of challenges faced by facilitators, educator
 s and trainers necessitates community effort and involvement to develop an
 d provide reproducible, reliable, and reusable educational materials.\n\nS
 ince 2014, the Best Practices for HPC Training workshop series at SC has p
 rovided a global forum for addressing common challenges and solutions for 
 enhancing HPC training and education, for sharing information through larg
 e and small group discussions, and for fostering collaboration opportuniti
 es. The Fifth workshop, an ACM SIGHPC Education Chapter coordinated effort
 , is aimed at, and will provide opportunities for, extending collaboration
 s among practitioners from traditional and emerging fields, exploring the 
 challenges in developing and deploying HPC training and education, and ide
 ntifying new challenges and opportunities for the latest HPC platforms. Th
 e workshop will also be a platform for disseminating results and lessons l
 earned in these areas and will be captured in a Special Edition of the Jou
 rnal of Computational Science Education.\n\nTag: Education, Scientific Com
 puting, Training, Scalable and Sustainable Approaches for HPC Training and
  Education, Emerging Tools enabling HPC Training and Education, Lightning 
 Talks and Demos\n\nRegistration Category: Workshop Reg Pass\n\nSession Cha
 irs: Evguenia Alexandrova (Hartree Centre, STFC; Science and Technology Fa
 cilities Council (STFC)); Scott Lathrop (University of Illinois Urbana-Cha
 mpaign); Susan Mehringer (Cornell University); Julie Mullen (Massachusetts
  Institute of Technology (MIT), Lincoln Laboratory); Nitin Sukhija (Slippe
 ry Rock University of Pennsylvania); and Aaron Weeden (Shodor Education Fo
 undation)\n\n
