This workshop continues our First Hands-on Experience on a HPC Cluster and conveys the use of the cluster for parallelized applications.

We will start with a short introduction to the basics of parallel computing and then learn to analyze scaling behavior and performance bottlenecks based on existing applications. The aim will be to optimize job scripts for yout own parallel applications.

For the practical parts, we will use the university cluster “Draco”. If you do not yet have access to the cluster, please apply for it via our Service-Desk. Please provide your alphanumeric university login.
