Building Modern HPC Curriculum to Spur Adoption of Modern Heterogeneous Programming Methods
At Loyola University Chicago, Professor George K. Thiruvathukal is modernizing HPC education through the unoAPI curriculum, developed with support from the Intel® Academic Program for oneAPI. Aimed at bridging the gap between high-level programming and emerging heterogeneous hardware, unoAPI introduces students to Intel® oneAPI tools, enabling them to develop code that runs efficiently across CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. By integrating modern C++ features, real-world coding examples, and software engineering best practices, Thiruvathukal prepares a diverse new generation of developers for the future of AI-driven, high-performance computing across platforms like the Intel-powered Aurora supercomputer.
