An empirical study by researchers at Fulda University of Applied Sciences systematically analyzed High-Performance Computing (HPC) education in Germany, examining course offerings, content, and the accessibility of cluster infrastructure across 102 academic institutions. The analysis revealed that while 67.6% of institutions offer HPC courses, practical topics are significantly underrepresented, and only 23.0% of local HPC clusters explicitly document availability for educational use.
Key insights
- A structural imbalance exists in German higher education where HPC infrastructures are primarily organized as research resources, limiting their integration into educational environments.
- Despite most institutions (67.6%) offering HPC-related courses, practical competencies like resource management, cluster usage, debugging, and performance analysis are substantially underrepresented in curricula.
- Only 23.0% of the identified HPC clusters explicitly document their availability for educational use, indicating a significant disconnect between the presence of infrastructure and its pedagogical accessibility.
