SUMMARY:Trends in Demand, Growth, and Breadth in Scientific Computing Trai
 ning Delivered by a High-Performance Computing Center
DESCRIPTION:Ramses van Zon, Marcelo Ponce, Erik Spence, and Daniel Gruner 
 (SciNet HPC Consortium, University of Toronto)\n\nWe analyze the changes i
 n the training and educational efforts of the SciNet HPC Consortium, a Can
 adian academic High Performance Computing Center, in the areas of Scientif
 ic Computing and High-Performance Computing, over the last six years.  Ini
 tially, SciNet offered isolated training events on how to use HPC systems 
 and write parallel code, but the training program now consists of a broad 
 range of workshops and courses that users can take toward certificates in 
 scientific computing, data science, or high-performance computing.  Using 
 data on enrollment, attendance, and certificate numbers from SciNet's educ
 ation website, used by almost 1800 users so far, we extract trends on the 
 growth, demand, and breadth of SciNet's training program. Among the result
 s are a steady overall growth, a sharp and steady increase in the demand f
 or data science training, and a wider participation of 'non-traditional' c
 omputing disciplines, which has motivated an increasingly broad spectrum o
 f training offerings.  Of interest is also that many of the training initi
 atives have evolved into courses that can be taken as part of the graduate
  curriculum at the University of Toronto.\n\nTag: Education, Scientific Co
