PDC offers courses, workshops and seminars to help you improve your high-performance computing (HPC) skills. These training events are open to researchers and developers from business/industry and academia, as well as students, and most are free of charge.
PDC HPC summer school & university courses
The annual PDC summer school gives attendees an understanding of how to develop software for various HPC systems and provides practical experience developing and running HPC software. If you want to learn more about using HPC in specific research areas, there are also various university courses that are run on PDC’s systems.
If you want to run programs on HPC systems at PDC, you can attend one of PDC’s short “Introduction to PDC” courses. PDC also hosts a variety of seminars/webinars, workshops and short courses for researchers who want to learn to use HPC systems or improve their current skills. NAISS runs Zoom-ins with PDC where you can get help.
There are two main kinds of HPC research: research in other areas which uses HPC for simulations or analysis, and research on improving HPC systems and how we use them. Often these are combined in projects that test future HPC systems by using them to run applications. At times PDC has openings for this kind of research.
