 (for eligible participants)    Organizer:  ASCDiscover how to harness A
 ustria’s most powerful supercomputers! This hands-on course guides you f
 rom your first steps on the ASC clusters to efficiently running software u
 sing their queuing system – perfect for beginners and intermediate users
  alike.In this course we will help you getting started on the ASC clusters
 \, Austria's most powerful supercomputers. We'll focus on using the ASC cl
 usters and especially their queuing system efficiently.With running and de
 veloping software on a supercomputer there are many similarities and fewer
  but crucial differences compared to your desktop PC. Focusing on hands-on
  teaching throughout the course\, you will immediately try out what you've
  heard and adapt it to your own needs.This course is from beginners level 
 (the first steps on a supercomputer) to intermediate level (some experienc
 e on the ASC systems or any other computing cluster) and equally relevant 
 to those who will merely be running existing software as to those who will
  develop scientific codes (however\, without actually teaching supercomput
 er programming – if you would like to learn parallel programming\, pleas
 e refer to our MPI\, OpenMP\, or CUDA courses).Agenda & ContentFor a detai
 led timetable and additional information\, please see Agenda & Content in 
 the left menu.Target audience\, eligibility & pricesThis course is for our
  new users who would like to get onboarded on the ASC systems.This course 
 is open and free of charge for users (or soon to be users) of the ASC syst
 ems only.Entry level & prerequisitesBasic/beginners – no previous knowle
 dge is required for this course.Participants should know how to login to a
  remote Linux machine and know the basics about working on the Linux comma
 nd line. Otherwise please take our ASC-Linux course prior to this course.C
 ourse formatThis course will be delivered as a LIVE ONLINE COURSE (using Z
 oom).Hands-on labsAll participants will get a temporary user account on on
 e of the ASC systems to do the hands-on labs.You will use your own laptop 
 or workstation to connect to ASC and do the hands-on exercises. If you use
  Windows please install the following software packages prior to the cours
 e: PuTTY and FileZilla or winscp.Accepted participants will be contacted a
  few days before the course and asked to do a short pre-assignment that ha
 s to be completed before the course starts.LecturersClaudia Blaas-Schenner
  (ASC Research Center\, TU Wien)        Dr. Claudia Blaas-Schenner
  is passionate about supercomputing / High-Performance computing (HPC) an
 d has been at the forefront of the field for over 30 years. She founded an
 d directs the training program at Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC)\, 
 the Austrian national supercomputing center\, and is recognized for her ex
 pertise in parallel computing and the Message-Passing Interface (MPI)\, se
 rving as a chapter chair for Terms and Convention in the MPI Forum\, which
  standardizes MPI. Her academic background is in Computational Materials 
 Science and she holds a PhD in Technical Physics from TU Wien. Claudia is 
 deeply engaged in various large-scale European projects that advance HPC a
 nd AI\, with a particular focus on addressing current needs in training an
 d education.Atul Singh (ASC Research Center\, TU Wien)  Dr. Atul Singh i
 s currently working as an engineer in the software team at Austrian Scient
 ific Computing ASC\, TU Wien. He holds a PhD as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie 
 Fellow from the University of Southampton\, UK\, in engineering design opt
 imization\, and has previously worked as an HPC specialist at the Universi
 ty of Nottingham\, UK. During his MSc studies at the University of Rostock
 \, Germany\, he completed internships at several academic and industrial i
 nstitutions\, including the Chair of Aero Engine Design at BTU Cottbus\, G
 ermany\, CINECA Supercomputing Center as a PRACE Summer of HPC 2018 partic
 ipant in Bologna\, Italy\, and Scania in Södertälje\, Sweden\, where he 
 worked on exhaust aftertreatment systems. This centers his expertise in en
 gineering optimization\, artificial intelligence\, computational fluid dyn
 amics\, and simulations to name a few.LanguageEnglishDate\, time\, and loc
