Remarks on Parallel Computing and HPCC Education

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Ohio Supercomputer Center Workshop on January 24 1997. Foils prepared January 26 97

We describe role of computational science as capturing academic integration of advanced compuation into general curricula
We use a recent review of a program in the United Kingdom to illustrate concepts
Clusters of PC's are natural deployment mechanism
We point out that this can be applied successfully in both simulation (parallel computing) and information arena (the web)
We discuss the role of scalable certificates as another way of recognizing knowledge as opposed traditional minors, masters and other degrees
We illustrate these ideas with program at Syracuse
