Teaching in the classroom & Beyond: High Performance Computing

April 29, 2024

Konghao Zhao, Zongyue Teng, Andrea Jiang, Mario Satriale, and Nicole Sung, trained for the Student Cluster Competition with their HPC mentors.

High Performance Computing (HPC) at Wake Forest has been a University staple for more than two decades, and the HPC Team oversees the DEAC Cluster, Wake Forest University’s HPC system, 14 departments and more than 500 researchers using the cluster daily.

Training and tutorial sessions have been a regular duty of the HPC Team since the DEAC Cluster’s inception. After years of increased curiosity and high demand from student researchers, the HPC team noted the need for further Cluster instruction. Seven years ago, a collaboration with the computer science department led to the launch of a special topics course to expand on that work.
