As of today, the SiPE workshops have reached roughly 1000 people at 166 institutions, agencies, companies and organizations in 42 US states and territories and 5 other countries.

* 125 academic institutions;

* 18 government agencies;

* 16 private firms;

* 7 not-for-profit organizations.

SiPE is targeted at an audience of not only computer scientists but especially scientists and engineers, including a mixture of undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and staff.

These workshops focus on fundamental issues of HPC as they relate to Computational and Data-enabled Science and Engineering, including:

* the storage hierarchy;

* instruction-level parallelism;

* high performance compilers;

* shared memory parallelism (e.g., OpenMP);

* distributed parallelism (e.g., MPI);

* HPC application types and parallel paradigms;

* multicore optimization;

* high throughput computing;

* GPGPU computing;

* scientific and I/O libraries;

* scientific visualization.

The key philosophy of the SiPE workshops is that an HPC-based code should be maintainable, extensible and, most especially, portable across platforms, and should be sufficiently flexible that it can adapt to, and adopt, emerging HPC paradigms.
