HPC Introductory Course (Workshop)
Introduction to HPC
The HPC introductory course is a workshop for all current and future users of the HPC cluster. On usually three days basic and advanced knowledge for the use of the cluster will be provided and practically tested. Dates and links to current courses, as well as slides and exercises from previous courses can be found in the Wiki.
The workshops takes place regularly once per semester during the semester break.
Registration via Stud.IP is welcome and makes course planning easier for us, but it is not mandatory for participation.
If you have any problems with the registration process or should you have general questions, please feel free to contact us via e-mail.
The course language is generally English.
