MATLAB for HPC in person workshop in Krakow, Poland

NCKO

Purpose: 

The workshop teaches participants to run parallel MATLAB jobs on Cyfronet’s Ares supercomputer. It covers how to use its multicore processors and GPUs for compute- and data-intensive problems. It is co-funded by the EU through EuroCC 3 and organised by ACC Cyfronet AGH.

Target audience: 

Polish academics and researchers with data- or compute-intensive projects who want to use Cyfronet’s supercomputing resources.
Eligibility: The course is also open to academia, industry and public administration from EU Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries.
Level: Between basic and intermediate.

Prerequisites:

  • Working knowledge of MATLAB.
  • Your own laptop with MATLAB and the Parallel Computing Toolbox (R2025a, R2025b or R2026a).
  • A registration using your institutional email, since private or generic addresses are rejected.

Venue: 

  • Conference Rooms, ground floor, Edison building, Kołowa 8, 30-134 Kraków. This is a different building from the main Cyfronet site at Nawojki 11, about a 15-minute walk away.
