Building 5100, RM 128 (JICS Auditorium)

The OLCF will host an Introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC) workshop on June 26-28, 2018. This training will cover basic skills, such as UNIX and vim text editor, before moving on to parallel programming and GPU computing.

Who should attend?
The target audience for this event are those new to HPC or those who need a refresher on basic HPC skills.

What happens at the event?
We will start by covering basic skills, such as UNIX, vim text editor, and c/Fortran programming, which will be necessary for the topics to follow. We will then move on to cover basic parallel programming (using MPI and OpenMP) and GPU computing (CUDA and OpenACC). Hands-on sessions will be included with many of the topics to give participants the opportunity to practice new skills.

NOTE: Laptops will NOT be provided, so please bring one with you if you plan to participate in the hands-on sessions.

Which OLCF systems will be used for the event?
Participants will use the Titan supercomputer for this training event.
