SUMMARY:Potential Influence of Prior Experience in an Undergraduate-Gradua
 te Level HPC Course
DESCRIPTION:Chris Fietkiewicz (Case Western Reserve University)\n\nA cours
 e on High Performance Computing at Case Western Reserve University include
 d students with a range of technical and academic experience. We consider 
 these experiential differences with regard to student performance and perc
 eptions. The course relied heavily on C programming and multithreading, bu
 t one third of the students had no prior experience with these techniques.
  Academic experience also varied, as the class included 3rd and 4th year u
 ndergraduates, master’s students, PhD students, and non-degree students. R
 esults indicate that student performance did not depend on technical exper
 ience. However, average performance was slightly higher for graduate stude
 nts. Additionally, we report on students’ perceptions of the course, inclu
 ding opinions on the level of theoretical coverage and expectations for re
 port writing.\n\nTag: Education, Scientific Computing, Training, Scalable 
 and Sustainable Approaches for HPC Training and Education, Emerging Tools 
 enabling HPC Training and Education, Lightning Talks and Demos\n\nRegistra
 tion Category: Workshop Reg Pass\n\nSession Chairs: Evguenia Alexandrova (
 Hartree Centre, STFC; Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)); S
 cott Lathrop (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign); Susan Mehringer (C
 ornell University); Julie Mullen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M
