The focus of this short course is to provide to beginners in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) a crash course like introduction to the following essential knowledge:
- Introduction to the LRZ Linux Cluster System and computing environment
- Introduction to a typical user environment on LRZ Linux Cluster system
- Linux terminal access and file transfer tools
- Usage of the module system
- The batch queuing or scheduling system SLURM
- Introduction to a typical CFD-oriented workflow on the example of ANSYS CFD, StarCCM+ and Abaqus
- Aspects of licensing of commercial CFD and CSM software at LRZ
- Q & A
Fees
None
Pre-required logistics
This course is addressed to young scientists, PHD students and under-graduate students (Master level) with so far limited to no experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), but with the aim to use in future the High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources of the LRZ for their fluid dynamics (CFD) or structural mechanics (CSM) oriented research. For this introductory course no further pre-existing HPC knowledge is required.
