Abstract
The efficient usage of all opportunities offered by modern computing systems represents a global challenge. To solve it efficiently we need to move in two directions simultaneously. Firstly, the higher educational system must be changed with a wide adoption of parallel computing technologies as the main idea across all curricula and courses. Secondly, it is necessary to develop software tools and systems to be able to reveal root causes of poor performance for applications as well as to evaluate efficiency of supercomputer centers on a large task flow. We try to combine both these two directions within supercomputer center of Moscow State University. In this article we will focus on the main idea of wide dissemination of supercomputing education for efficient usage of supercomputer systems today and in the nearest future as well as describe the results we have reached so far in this area.
