SUMMARY:Potential Influence of Prior Experience in an Undergraduate-Gradua
 te Level HPC Course
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nEducation, Scientific Computing, Training, Workshop 
 Reg Pass, Lightning Talks and Demos\n\nPotential Influence of Prior Experi
 ence in an Undergraduate-Graduate Level HPC Course\n\nFietkiewicz\n\nA cou
 rse on High Performance Computing at Case Western Reserve University inclu
 ded students with a range of technical and academic experience. We conside
 r these experiential differences with regard to student performance and pe
 rceptions. The course relied heavily on C programming and multithreading, 
 but one third of the students had no prior experience with these technique
 s. Academic experience also varied, as the class included 3rd and 4th year
  undergraduates, master’s students, PhD students, and non-degree students.
  Results indicate that student performance did not depend on technical exp
 erience. However, average performance was slightly higher for graduate stu
 dents. Additionally, we report on students’ perceptions of the course, inc
 luding opinions on the level of theoretical coverage and expectations for 
 report writing.
