Jeaime Powell [Omnibond]
Jeaime Powell is a dedicated educator and advocate for High-Performance Computing (HPC) workforce development. As a key figure in the HackHPC initiative, he has played a pivotal role in organizing and facilitating numerous codeathons and hackathons aimed at bridging the skills gap in the HPC field. These time-bounded events bring together students, mentors, and industry experts, offering intensive training in applied HPC skills.
Sessions
High-Performance Computing (HPC) workforce development initiatives aimed to train diverse stakeholders in essential tools and methods. The "blinking cursor" barrier in terminal interfaces was addressed by integrating Open OnDemand within the projectEUREKA platform, facilitating 18 groups of MSI undergraduates and faculty in cyberinfrastructure-targeted hackathons. These time-bounded events, based on the HackHPC Model, addressed the HPC skills gap through intensive applied training. This presentation will compare traditional terminal/CLI-based and web-GUI-based training approaches, examining their evolution and effectiveness. Additionally, modified outcomes and artifacts produced by participants will provide insights into the impact of these training methodologies.
