According to Dr. Lorenzo Zanon, who leads HLRS’s Department of Training and Scalable Algorithms, the professional certification program will enable trainees to broaden and deepen their expertise in essential disciplines from across the HPC field. “Our new professional certification lets you develop proficiency on topics like machine learning and AI algorithm development, performance optimization, hardware accelerators, scientific visualization, cluster operation, or data management,” he explained. “Combining multiple elected courses within a structured framework will help those who complete certification to gather well-rounded experience in the latest technologies and methods.”
Certification builds on the foundation of HLRS’s extensive calendar of approximately 40 training courses each year. Participants in the certification program must complete at least three courses selected from key topic areas and pass an exam. Once the requirements are fulfilled, participants can request a certificate that can be shared with current or future employers.
Ultimately, professional certification at HLRS will enable trainees to demonstrate proficiency that makes them stand out in today’s competitive technology job market.
