Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

second problem ex-ists by Knuth’s design: choosing a source document from which LP tools produce both sourcecode and a formatted document prevents direct modification of either the source code or the for-matted document, isolating authors from the writing they must do. For these reasons, no literateprogramming tool has gained widespread acceptance in the programming community or for sus-tained pedagogical use.This last point is substantiated by noting that most education-focused research using literate pro-gramming tools took place in the 1990s. Efforts in this area include using LP tools to grade home-work submissions8, teach programming9 (with success, but accompanied by student complaintsabout the difficulty of LP tools), or write better
