null (Ed.)New usage patterns of computing for research have emerged that rely on the availability of flexible, elastic, and highly specialized services, that may not be well suited to traditional batch HPC. A new approach that updates and evolves the research computing ecosystem is needed to respond to these needs. This new model, a Kubernetes-based "Community Composable Platform", builds upon Purdue's Community Cluster program to provide cost effective, highly responsive, and customizable composable computing solutions for domain science and education in a variety of communities.more » « less

There is a shortage of training programs for research cyber-facilitators and the need is only growing, especially in academia. This paper will discuss the importance of developing a workforce at the undergraduate level, creating a formal program for training and mentoring undergraduates in Research Computing at Purdue University, and how the approach to mentoring has evolved. The hands-on training and mentoring program has changed from one with students working as junior HPC administrators, performing hardware break-fix in a relative vacuum, to one with students working closely with their mentors, building real-world cyberinfrastructure solutions, such as distributed computing environments. More recently, the mentoring program has grown to include facilitating and supporting research applications with the Purdue user community. Finally, outcomes for the students in these programs lessons learned will be discussed.more » « less
