Dr. Hemant Darbari, Executive Director, C-DAC, Pune said, "There is a stiff competition in the IT industry for skilled HPC professionals. While organizations are looking to recruit such professionals, there is a dearth of an industry standard that can determine the level of skill sets required for this domain. This is a common bottleneck faced by the R&D as well as the IT industry. The C-DAC Certified HPC Professional Certification Program (CCHPCP) will seek to overcome this bottleneck and set the industry standard for HPC professionals. It shall serve as the common denominator for both the industry and professionals to explore, initiate and solve the challenges in the advanced computing area."
