Attendees will learn the basics of using the C HPC Lengau cluster along with how to convert the computational intensive p arts of their scientific workflow into a job script suitable for the CHPC. The Practical HPC course is 2 weeks long and will need about 4 hours per day.\n\nSyllabus:\n\n\n\n \n CHPC Hardware\n \n \n The CHPC Systems\n \n \ n Job Scripts and the PBSPro Scheduler\n \n \n How to Fix Errors\n \n \n S caling & Performance\n \n \n Applications—from Workflow to Job Script\n \n \n Installing Your Own Software\n \n\n\n\nThe online Winter School for 2022 is presented in collaboration with PRACE and EPCC\, and the first 3 w eeks of the PRACE Supercomputing MOOC provide the necessary foundational i nformation and concepts for the Practical HPC course.\n\n\n\nPRACE Superco mputing MOOC\n\n\nThis MOOC is a focussed introduction to High Performance Computing and the prerequisite for the CHPC Practical HPC online course.
