SUMMARY:Let’s Get Our Heads Out of the Clouds (A Scalable and Sustainable 
 Approach to HPC Training Labs for Resource Constrained Environments and An
 yone Else Stuck in the Clouds)
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Johnston, Lara Timm, Mabatho Hashatsi, and Eugene de Bes
 te (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa; C
 enter for High Performance Computing (CHPC), South Africa)\n\nThe training
  of new and existing HPC practitioners is recognized as a priority in the 
 HPC community. Traditionally, delivering HPC System Administrator training
  has been through physical face-to-face workshops, using cloud-based servi
 ces or remote hardware to provide compute resources to emulate an HPC syst
 em. \n\nWe have identified several challenges associated with the reliance
  on cloud-based services for hosting HPC training workshops, including: cl
 ass size is limited by the available compute resources provided on the hos
 ted resource; the training is a non-starter without available cloud resour
 ces; the hosted resources are temporary.\n\nTo address these fundamental p
 roblems associated with the traditional cloud-hosted HPC Labs, and by foll
 owing lessons learned from MOOC & Educational methodology on developing HP
 C Training, we have produced a reproducible, offline-capable, self-paced H
 PC virtual training lab that emulates a basic 3-node compute cluster on a 
 trainee’s local machine without the need for any high-end computing resour
 ces or cloud infrastructure.\n\nTag: Education, State of the Practice\n\nR
