Our team prepares dozens of training courses per year for those interested in learning about high-performance computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. We offer courses and workshops ranging from beginner level to deeply specialised topics for the advanced.
However, user needs are changing dynamically. Therefore, we identify current needs through a Training Needs Survey when preparing new training programmes.
Survey results in a nutshell:
Training needs:
- The most popular are HPC courses at all levels. 60% of respondents said it was very interesting.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the second most popular topic. 36 % of respondents said it was very interesting.
- Quantum computing is on the rise, but most respondents have minimal experience in this area.
- Training formats and delivery methods:
- The most preferred format was a combination of theoretical lectures and practical exercises.
- Online training has become the most convenient form. Preferences for face-to-face training are declining.
- The most requested are one-day or shorter training courses.
- The greatest interest was in the following specific course topics:
- Access to HPC resources.
- Parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP).
- GPU-accelerated computing.
- Neural Network Architectures for AI.
- Introduction to Gate-Based Quantum Computing.
A total of 105 respondents, mainly from academia, industry, and the public sector, participated in the survey. Those interested in training tend to come from domains such as computer science, applied mathematics, and materials science.
