Background
All over the world, HPC is increasingly used to solve complex problems in our societies. Scientists from the ASEAN region have followed the trend and harnessed their knowledge and skills of HPC from various institutions. In September 2019, some ASEAN Member States students participated in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) summer school on HPC, held in Barcelona. Three months later, in December 2019, a delegation of senior ASEAN scientists followed a week-long training at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre. These exchanges led to a heightened awareness about the importance of increasing HPC skills and fluency in the ASEAN region.
The idea of a shared ASEAN HPC facility was identified by the ASEAN Task Force in 2018. A year later, the EU and ASEAN initiated discussions regarding the importance of increasing access to HPC to EU and ASEAN scientists. From this, the ASEAN High-Performance Computing (HPC) School was envisioned: the first regional HPC school in ASEAN that cooperates with European and international experts. The school was first announced at the Supercomputing Asia conference’s EU-ASEAN-Japan Symposium on 4 March 2021, and held virtually in July 2021.
