Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest the knowledge elements for HPC education in computational science. For this purpose, the survey for HPC experts was conducted to verify the content validity and reliability, and the 20 candidate knowledge elements was extracted. And the second survey for HPC users was conducted to apply the t test, Borich requirement, and The Locus for Focus model. And 10 knowledge elements for HPC education were derived. As a result, the first group was 'Parallelism Fundamentals', 'Parallelism', 'Parallel communication and coordination', 'Parallel Decomposition', 'Parallel Algorithms, Analysis, and Programming' and 'Introduction to Modeling and Simulation', 'Fundamental Programming Concepts', 'Fundamental Data Structures', 'Memory Management', 'Algorithms and Design' were second group for HPC education.

본 연구는 계산과학분야의 고성능컴퓨팅 교육을 위한 지식요소들을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 고성능컴퓨팅 전문가들을 대상으로 1차 설문을 통해 내용타당도와 신뢰도를 조사하여 20개의 후보지식요소들을 도출하였다. 고성능컴퓨팅 사용자들을 대상으로 2차 설문을 통해 후보지식요소들에 대해 t-test, Borich 요구도, The Locus for Focus모델을 적용하여 고성능컴퓨팅 교육을 위한 10개의 지식요소들을 도출하였다. 그 결과 고성능컴퓨팅 교육을 위한 '기본 병렬성', '병렬성', '병렬통신 및 조정', '병렬분할', '병렬 알고리즘 분석 및 프로그래밍', '모델링 및 시뮬레이션 소개' 6개의 1순위 지식요소들과 '기본 프로그래밍 개념', '기본 자료구조', '메모리 관리', '알고리즘 및 설계' 4개의 2순위 지식요소들을 도출하였다.
