Grand Challenges (Stewart & Zaslavsky, SC98)
- Faculty system of rewards does not encourage teaching innovations
- Lack of awareness of HPC technologies already used in research or teaching for different fields
- Faculty & students unaware of benefits and accomplishments of HPC
- HPC technologies considered too complex/inaccessible for undergraduate instruction
- Sequential HPC-related curricula is absent
- Curricula using very large data sets not widely available
- Adjust to different learning styles when material is complex
- Variety of platforms/software leads to fragmented curricula
- School administration/support staff not ready for HPC
- Specs of computers and networks below user expectations
