Introduction to HPC
Why HPC Training?
Usage of HPC resources differs significantly from handling a regular desktop computer. Thus it is vital to have a solid understanding of how to work with HPC systems.

- What is High Performance Computing
- HPC-Cluster Components
- How to Access a Cluster?
- SLURM - Requesting Resources
- SLURM - How Resources are Scheduled
- SLURM - Accounting and Sharing of Compute Time
- Environment Modules

- Parallelization Models
- Scaling of Parallel Applications
- Code of Conduct
