SUMMARY:International HPC Certification Program
DESCRIPTION:Julian Kunkel (University of Reading), Weronika Filinger (Univ
 ersity of Edinburgh), and Jean-Thomas Acquaviva (DataDirect Networks)\n\nT
 here is a generally accepted set of skills and competencies necessary to e
 fficiently use HPC resources. Making clear what skills are required or rec
 ommended for a competent HPC user would benefit both the HPC service provi
 ders and practitioners. This BoF will present the status of the recently f
 ounded International HPC Certification Forum aiming to  categorize, define
 , and examine these skills to create an ecosystem. To ensure this is an in
 dependent community-wide effort, we invite anyone interested in HPC teachi
 ng/ training to participate in the discussion and get involved. Inputs fro
 m academia, industry and HPC centers will steer the future effort.\n\nTag:
