High Performance Computing course to start in January 2015
From 2 until 31 January 2015, researchers from the University of Amsterdam and experts from the SURFsara national Supercomputing Center organise a course on ‘High Performance Computing and Big Data’. Researchers and engineers can learn how to use high performance computing facilities. Registration is open.
Researchers and engineers from industry and academia alike frequently experience their daily work to be impeded by physical limitations of their ICT equipment: processing and storage capacity, visualisation facilities and their integration. They feel that up-scaling to high performance computing (HPC) facilities would be very beneficial to their work, but don’t know how to do this and lack the time to investigate their options.
During the course researchers and engineers can learn about HPC, discuss their specific problems with experts and start to solve them on SURFsara’s state-of-the-art computing facilities. The objective of this course is to introduce individuals with limited programming knowledge to various HPC facilities. At the end of the course, they will be able to use them, avoiding common pitfalls, thus saving them money and time.
