Abstract:

High Performance Computing (HPC) means achieving high and highest computing performance. Special HPC clusters and supercomputers are used for this purpose. To achieve maximum performance, all the components involved must be planned and coordinated and operated with each other. The course will give insight into the need for Supercomputers and teach the basic structure of a microprocessor​ and multicore processor (x86_64)​ as well as the different aspects of of shared memory CPU-nodes​ and distributed memory system​s. In addition, the course will give an introduction of the bwUniCluster 2.0, including the connection, authentication, batch system, workspaces, module files, visualization, data transfer, file systems and interactive jobs.

Agenda:

- Why HPC-Cluster / Cluster Computing?​
- System Architecture​
- Compute Nodes with Multiple Processors​
- Cluster Basics with Hands On / Live Demo on bwUniCluster 2.0​
- Digression: Use Bash in Jupyter Notebooks on bwUniCluster 2.0 (Live Demo)
_____________________________________________________________________
After this course, participants will...

- understand the benefits of HPC-Clusters
- know the basics about system architecture
- have gained knowledge about the difference of shared memory CPU-nodes​ and distributed memory system​s
- be able to properly connect to the bwUniCluster 2.0
- know about the file systems, enviroment module system, data transfer on the bwUniCluster 2.0
- have a detailed understanding about the most important commands (of the batch system) on the bwUniCluster 2.0
_____________________________________________________________________
Prerequisites:

The background of Linux as well as the most important concepts and tools of Linux should be known, e.g.
- Shell and shell commands (→safe use of the command line),
- secure shell,
- the handling of files and scripts
- the structure of the system,
- the user and rights management and
- creating simple batch scripts with an editor like nano, vi or emacs.

- The course language is German but slides are in English.
- It is recommended to try the code/command examples yourself interactively by using your own computer.
- With a successful registration for the course, the participants get access to the content on the bwHPC-Ilias
- The participants need to have access to the bwUniCluster 2.0, for this they need the bwUniCluster entitlement

Due to the limited number of free spots (35) early registration is recommended.
