Abstract: Nowadays, sciences, such as astrophysics, climatology, neuroscience or deep learning, often employ models and simulations that require a lot of compute resources to provide useful results. These simulations cannot be scaled on local computers, like laptops or workstations, as they consume too much compute time and power as well as memory and storage. High performance computing (HPC) systems provide an infrastructure to solve these issues. Simulations which run on HPC systems are able to take advantage of the powerful compute processors and the massively parallel architecture.This workshop introduces state-of-the-art of high performance computing (HPC) to scientists who have little or no background in working with supercomputers and compute clusters.By the end of this workshop, the participants will:· know what an HPC system is and how it differs from a regular computer· understand how an HPC system can help to solve problems· how to submit and manage jobs on an HPC system using a scheduler, transfer files, and use software through modules and installation in a virtual environment.· understand different types of nodes, storage partitions and other compute architectures.
