    • simple examples like stencil codes
    • and real-world codes (CP2K, Quantum Espresso, MaxwellsCPU3D (DGTD))
  • This will include an hands-on on the cluster systems of PC².

Please note:

  1. The couse assumes:
    • basic knowledge of the Linux shell. We provide a short online selftest. In case you have no experience with Linux, we recommend that you attend our next Linux Introduction Course
    • basic knowledge of workload managers (esp. Slurm) and jobscripts. We provide a short online selftest. In case you have no experience with workload manager on clusters, we recommend that you attend our next HPC Introduction Course.
  2. The language of the course is planned to be English
  3. For the hands-on part of the course the participants should bring their own laptops. No special operating system is required. You can participate with Windows, MacOS or some Linux-distribution.
