Guest Editors' Introduction
High-Performance Computing Education
Scott Lathrop and Thomas Murphy
Submitted for your consideration is a gallery of articles that chronicles only a few of the many successful efforts addressing the critical shortage of a diverse, well-prepared high-performance computing (HPC) workforce. Our goal, with this issue, is to stimulate large-scale international discourse to accelerate the adoption of the educational tools, curriculum, and pedagogy that reflect the increasing role of computational methods in science and engineering.

The First Word
Coming to a Digital Library Near You
Norman Chonacky
Do you know about the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)? You should, no matter what your field or occupation within science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Why? Because sometime this autumn a new resource within the NSDL, called UCOMP that's dedicated to computation in physics, will join this digital collection.

The Last Word
This Time for Sure
Francis Sullivan
The emergence of multicore, heterogeneous architectures for computer games has put parallel computing back in the limelight. The problem is, almost nobody knows how to program these parallel computers for top performance. Research groups developing parallelizing languages and compliers are saying, “This time for sure,” but will these tools really help in any dramatic way? Francis Sullivan argues that the central issue is the algorithms.
