Education with billions of potential users worldwide is a major target. Anemerging service called HPC-as-a-Service (HPCaaS) targets Science, Technology, Engineering,and Math (STEM) users. In this paper we discuss the use of HPCaaS platform in STEMeducation. We argue that such a service can significantly alleviate a major obstacle in teachingparallel programming for the STEM students.Cloud computing

The aim is threefold: first, toshow the dimensions of the hiring gap; second, to define instructional faculty responsibilities,conditions of employment, and qualifications at different levels of institution; and third, todiscuss concerns raised by those trying to hire instructional faculty. Given the lack of diversitywithin higher education computing, it is vital to consider demographics in hiring.Computer science and related fields, programs, and departments, which we refer to generally ascomputing​, include: ● Computer science ● Information science ● Information systems ● Information technology ● Software engineering
