Aims and Scope

As high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing continue to play a critical role in advancing scientific research and innovation, there is an urgent need to equip students and professionals with the knowledge and skills to harness these powerful tools effectively. The PIPSQUEAK special session invites contributions that explore educational strategies, professional training programs, and outreach initiatives aimed at broadening access to HPC and quantum computing knowledge.

This special session will provide educators, researchers, and practitioners with a platform to discuss the challenges and innovations in teaching HPC and quantum computing. We are particularly interested in contributions that focus on interdisciplinary approaches, integrating HPC and quantum computing into existing curricula, and developing resources for lifelong learning. Additionally, this session will explore how professional training for scientists and professionals without specific technical expertise can be enhanced to include foundational knowledge of HPC and quantum computing, enabling them to apply these technologies effectively in their fields.
