High-performance computing is impacting science, engineering and industry in profound ways, quickly outpacing other fields to become the leading technology of the 21st century.As businesses use supercomputing to spur economic development and find newer, creative ways to develop their products, knowledge of supercomputing is becoming a critical advantage in today's workplace. However, many college students do not receive instruction in this crucial field. Often, this is not because they choose not to study it, but because their colleges and universities do not offer the opportunity. Louisiana State University computer science Professor Thomas Sterling hopes to change this through a new course he is offering this semester, "High-Performance Computing: Concepts, Methods and Means," enabled by advanced, Internet-based video technologies provided by the LSU Center for Computation and Technology (CCT).
