| Project Description | The need for Cyber training at Southeast Missouri State University is driven by the need for increased CI workforce development. They are in the very early stages of trying to develop a research computing program. Research Computing HPC services include a small cluster that is several years old, obtained through an internal grant. In terms of outreach, there has been little awareness of research computing services within the institute. Professors within the Physics department are actively interested in using the existing cluster. A new Bioinformatics faculty member is interested in using the cluster. There also is a senior Chemistry student who wants to make her capstone research project. There is also movement in the development of computational degree programs branded as CS+Chemistry and CS+Physics. One of the faculty members had students build a Raspberry Pi cluster as a class project to help introduce HPC concepts. They are considering a move towards the development of a formal Research Computing program. The picture was taken by Jimmy Emerson, DVM https://tinyurl.com/6872nusk |
| Project Deliverables | A cyber training plan was developed to enhance knowledge relating to the use and administration of HPC systems. Mentor / Co-PI Carrie Brown partnered with SEMO faculty member Marcus Bond to deliver an introductory course that involved HPC concepts and the application of software tools used in research computing. Other training involved instruction on administering HPC systems and best practices for facilitating researcher access to HPC resources. Further follow-up work will include a meeting to determine the impact of training on scientific discovery at the institution. HPC Carpentry Workshop |
