UVA HPC CURSUS July 2024 - STEP UP TO SUPERCOMPUTING

Why enroll?

 

Why should researchers follow the HPC course?

 

  1. To learn about the available HPC facilities: the use of these facilities may accelerate and improve your research. Unfamiliarity with these facilities may cause you to ‘miss the boat’.

  2. To become familiar with HPC applications that can be used within your discipline,

  3. To learn how to use the infrastructure efficiently, to speed up results and cut costs for your department.

  4. Scaling up existing applications (e.g., applications that currently run on a desktop) will scale up your research. E-infrastructure will help you push your boundaries and lead to more efficient operations.
