Event/Course Description

Annotation

This training is designed to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills to utilize the IT4Innovations (IT4I) supercomputing infrastructure effectively. Covering a spectrum of topics ranging from HPC system architecture to performance analysis basics, participants will gain insights into accessing, utilizing, and optimizing their computational workflows on high-performance clusters. Experienced instructors will facilitate each session, offering theoretical insights and hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to engage actively to maximize their learning experience.

Target Audience and Purpose of the Course:

This course is primarily crafted for application users with prior experience on smaller platforms, such as desktops, who now seek to leverage HPC capabilities to address problems surpassing the capabilities of their current resources. These users, often scientists from diverse fields, may not be developers of the applications they employ but require a deeper understanding of the underlying processes, particularly parallelization.

The course aims to offer participants an introduction to the key aspects of HPC, with a specific focus on the practices at IT4I, addressing their pertinent queries along the way.
