Abstract

Together, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and the Northeast Parallel Applications Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University delivered high-performance computing (HPC) training courses to a geographically distributed Department of Defense (DoD) user community. In September of 1998, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) delivered a one day offering on the Fortran 90 programming language from the CEWES MSRC in Vicksburg, Mississippi. In January of 1999, the OSC delivered a two-day offering on OpenMP from the CEWES MSRC. The TANGO Interactive collaborative software was used to deliver these courses simultaneously to participants at DoD Modernization Major Shared Resource Centers and Distributed Centers. This report describes these prototype distance HPC courses, our experiences, and provides instructor and student guidelines.
