Learn to Use HPC Systems and Supercomputers
Gain insights into using HPC systems and supercomputers to solve large computational problems. Explore HPC components, software stacks, job schedulers, and parallel programming, including Open MP, MPI, and GPU coding.
Learn to use High Performance Computing (HPC) Systems and solve large computational problems. This course assumes basic familiarity with the Bash command line environment found on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like environments. This course is of the first of its kind, should be your second step from my previous Educative course "Learn to Analyze Text Data in Bash Shell and Linux"
You'll learn:
- Intro to HPC Systems and Supercomputers
- HPC system's basic components
- HPC software stack
- HPC job schedulers and batch systems (PBS and Slurm with demos)
- Introduction to parallel programming (Open MP, MPI and GPU coding)
Video demos are included, I think it is a must have course for students, researchers, big data analysts, and developers. It will help you to utilize High Performance Computing systems at your institution. Non-interactive course. More details at: www.scientificprogramming.io/learn-hpc

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
