SUMMARY:Self-Paced Learning in HPC Lab Courses
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nSelf-Paced Learning in HPC Lab Courses\n\nTerboven
 , Miller, Wienke, Müller\n\nIn a software lab, groups of students develop 
 parallel code using modern tools, document the results and present their s
 olutions. The learning objectives include the foundations of High-Performa
 nce Computing (HPC), such as the understanding of modern architectures, th
 e development of parallel programming skills, and course-specific topics, 
 like accelerator programming or cluster set-up.\n\nIn order to execute the
  labs successfully with limited personnel resources and still provide stud
 ents with access to world-class HPC architectures, we developed a set of c
 oncepts to motivate students and to track their progress. This includes th
 e learning status survey and the developer diary, which are presented in t
 his work. We also report on our experiences with using innovative teaching
  concepts to incentivize students to optimize their codes, such as using c
 ompetition among the groups. Our concepts enable us to track the effective
 ness of our labs and to steer them for increasing sizes of diverse student
 s.\n\nWe conclude that software labs are effective in adding practical exp
 eriences to HPC education. Our approach to hand out open tasks and to leav
 e creative freedom in implementing the solutions enables the students to s
 elf-pace their learning process and to vary their investment of effort dur
 ing the semester. Our effort and progress tracking ensures the achieving o
 f the extensive learning objectives and enables our research on HPC progra
 mming productivity.\n\nTag: Workshop Reg Pass, Best Practices, Education,
