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
