High-performance computing (HPC) is an essential element that supports innovation across science, technology, economy, and society. Recently, as rapidly spreading intelligent information such as big data and artificial intelligence has become larger and more sophisticated, HPC is actively working as a core infrastructure that supports this smoothly. However, there is a lack of training systems to develop, operate, and utilize HPC, making it difficult the professional HPC manpower training. Accordingly, we analyzed the results of HPC training conducted over the past year by KISTI, Korea's only HPC public service institution, and we would like to suggest a strategy to overcome these.

In order to foster AI experts needed in each industry in the era of digital transformation where AI and various industrial technologies converge, the AI Integrated Education Consortium was formed by the National Research Council of Science and Technology(NST) and AI education organizations (KISTI, KIRD, and ETRI) to establish and operate three-stage, six-course education programs. The training targets are employees of a total of 35 institutions, including research institutes, subordinate institutes, and research institutes under the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the cumulative target of 10,000 trainees is being set by 2024 after the implementation in 2022. In this study, we present the achievements and future prospects of the AI Integration Education, which is celebrating its third year of implementation as of April 1, 2024.
