HANDS ON INTRODUCTION TO HPC

In collaboration with the PRACE Advanced Training Centres(link is external) (PATC), the UK National Supercomputing Facility, ARCHER(link is external), and the PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference 2015(link is external)(PRACEDays15) we will be running a 1.5 day ‘Hands on Introduction to HPC’ training session. This course provides a general introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC) using the UK national HPC service, ARCHER, as the platform for exercises. Familiarity with desktop computers is presumed but no programming or HPC experience is required. Programmers can however gain extra benefit from the course as source code for all the practicals will be provided. This event is open to everyone interested in using HPC, but all our training staff will be women and we hope that this provides an opportunity for women to network and build collaborations as well as learning new skills for a challenging and rewarding career in HPC.
