Abstract: As big data analysis and advanced machine learning algorithms drastically increasing computing resource requirement, high performance computing (HPC) resources are actively adopted by wide variety domain fields. How to improve the accessibility and support of educational tasks on HPC have become an emerging problem for supercomputing centers. There are several unique challenges. In this lighting talk, we share our experiences and practices using computing resources at Texas Advanced Computing Center to support education on HPC. We introduce an in-house web application framework development, IDOLS, which can lower the access barrier and improve the ease of the support for education on HPC. We will present our approach and demonstrate how it can be used with three different use cases: to support training workshops on efficiently usage of HPC; to teach parallel R workflow in the classroom; and to support large scale audio data collection analysis on HPC.
