The main objective of this seminar is to provide an introduction to High Performance Computing systems and tools to a wide range audience.

The courses cover several topics starting from how to setup a high performance cluster using commodity hardware and open-source clustering software, and also how to write your own parallel code using MPI.

These courses are ideal for post-graduate students in engineering and applied sciences who wish to pursue a career in scientific computing and PhD students who develop scientific software for resource intensive applications.

The seminar also targets system administrators who plan to setup a parallel infrastructure at their institutes.
