Introduction to High-Performance Computing (HPC)<\/h5>\n

This introduction provides basic information about high-performance computing (HPC)\u00a0\u00a0at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center for different target groups and needs.
\nIt is the basis for the follow-up event PPCES<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is focussed on the new Cluster CLAIX-2018 that only recently has been installed at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center in addition to CLAIX-2016, which has been installed late 2016.
\nBoth are replacing the outdated BULL Cluster which has been installed in 2011 and which will be decommissioned until April 2019.<\/p>\n

The event is split into two parts:<\/p>\n

The first part<\/u> <\/strong>provides basic information about HPC resources and targets not only HPC users but also decision markers.
\nIt provides information for the participants to take strategic decisions concerning employment of HPC resources and filing applications for computing projects consuming a decent amount of resources.
\nWe expect no prior knowledge of the participants.<\/p>\n

The second part<\/u><\/strong> is aimed at those who (want to) use HPC resources and those who (want to) program HPC resources (developers).
\nIt will enable participants\u00a0 to get a better understanding of the skill set they need.
\nFurthermore, it will enable admins and supporters to improve their support of HPC users by having a better understanding of HPC activities.
\nYou will particularly learn about the most important details on using the new Cluster CLAIX-2018 that has just been installed.
\nThose who use to run their computing applications on local machines will learn how to run those applications on the RWTH Compute Cluster – provided the necessary software licencies are in place.<\/p>\n

Generally, this event is also meant to teach the HPC basics that are needed to take part in our more in-depth event „PPCES<\/a>“ and to help take decisions on which part of PPCES might be interesting for you.
\nWe expect participants to have a basic knowledge of Linux and experience with their applications on any other computing devices.<\/p>\n

The presentations will be given in English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Part 1 (Morning Session) 11:00 – ~12:30
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Target: Enable participants to make decisions concerning the employment of HPC resources and to file applications for computing projects<\/p>\n

Target groups: HPC decision makers, supporters, domain scientists, developers, users, admins and students.<\/p>\n
