SUMMARY:Programmable Education Infrastructure: Cloud Resources as HPC Educ
 ation Environments
DESCRIPTION:J. Eric Coulter (Indiana University, XSEDE); Richard Knepper (
 Cornell University, XSEDE); and Jeremy Fischer (Indiana University, XSEDE)
 \n\nCloud computing is a growing area for educating students and performin
 g meaningful scientific research. The challenge for many educators and res
 earchers is knowing how to use some of the unique aspects of computing in 
 the cloud. One key feature is elastic computing - resources on demand. The
  elasticity and programmability of cloud resources make them an excellent 
 tool for educators who require access to a wide range of computing environ
 ments. In the field of HPC education, such environments are an absolute ne
 cessity, and getting access to them can create a large burden on educators
  above and beyond designing content.\n\nWhile cloud resources won't replac
 e traditional HPC environments for large research projects, they are an ex
 cellent option for providing both user and administrator education on HPC 
 environments. The highly configurable nature of cloud environments allows 
 educators to tailor the educational resource to the needs of their attende
 es, and provide a range of hands-on experiences. In this demo, we'll show 
 how the Jetstream cloud environment can be used to provide training for bo
 th new HPC administrators and users, by showing a ground-up build of a sim
 ple HPC system. While this approach uses the Jetstream cloud, it is genera
 lizable across any cloud provider. We will show how this allows an educato
 r to tackle everything from basic command-line concepts and scheduler use 
 to advanced cluster-management concepts such as elasticity and management 
 of scientific software. We will also discuss lessons learned from providin
 g this content as a tutorial at several CI conferences.\n\nTag: Education,
  Scientific Computing, Training, Scalable and Sustainable Approaches for H
 PC Training and Education, Emerging Tools enabling HPC Training and Educat
 ion, Lightning Talks and Demos\n\nRegistration Category: Workshop Reg Pass
