Programmable Education Infrastructure: Cloud resources as HPC Education Environments
Eric Coulter, Richard Knepper, Jeremy Fischer · The Journal of Computational Science Education · 2019
Cloud computing is growing area for educating students and performing meaningful scientific research. The challenge for many educators and researchers is knowing how to use some of the unique aspects of computing in the cloud. One key feature is true elastic computing -resources on demand. The elasticity and programmability of cloud resources make them an excellent tool for educators who require access to a wide range of computing environments. In the field of HPC education, such environments are an absolute necessity, and getting access to them can create a large burden on the educators above and beyond designing content.
