DESCRIPTION:Hands-on Introduction to High Performance Computing\, WomEncour
 age Conference\, Barcelona\, Spain\n\nOutline\n\nHigh-performance computin
 g (HPC) is a fundamental technology used in solving scientific problems. M
 any of the grand challenges of science depend on simulations and models ru
 n on HPC facilities to make progress\, for example: protein folding\, the 
 search for the Higgs boson and developing nuclear fusion.\n\nThe course co
 vers the basic concepts underlying the drivers for HPC development\, HPC h
 ardware\, software\, programming models and applications and an opportunit
 y for more practical experience\, information on performance and the futur
 e of HPC. This foundation will give the you ability to appreciate the rele
 vance of HPC in your field and also equip you with the tools to start maki
 ng effective use of HPC facilities yourself.\n\nThe course is delivered us
 ing a mixture of lectures and hands-on sessions and has a very practical f
 ocus. During the hands-on sessions you will get the chance to use ARCHER\,
  the UK National Supercomputer\, with HPC experts available to answer your
  questions and provide insight.\n\nCourse Requirements:\n\nPlease bring yo
 ur own laptop. Pre-requisites: Attendees are expected to have experience o
 f using computers\, but no programming\, Linux or HPC experience is necess
 ary.\n\nTimetable\n\n9:00-13:30 with a 30 minute break at 11:00 CEST (Cent
