DESCRIPTION:All the PATC courses at BSC are free of charge.\nVenue: Online 
 via Zoom\n\nObjectives: High-performance computing (HPC) is a fundamental
  technology used to solve a wide range of scientific research problems. Ma
 ny important challenges in science such as protein folding\, drug discover
 y\, and tumour evolution\, all depend on simulations\, models and analyses
  run on HPC facilities to make progress.\n\nThis course introduces HPC to 
 life science researchers\, focusing on the aspects that are most important
  for those new to this technology to understand. It will help you judge ho
 w HPC can best benefit your research\, and equip you to go on to successfu
 lly and efficiently make use of HPC facilities in future. The course will 
 cover basic concepts in HPC hardware\, software\, user environments\, file
 systems\, and programming models. It also provides an opportunity to gain 
 hands-on practical experience and assistance using an HPC system (MareNost
 rum) through examples drawn from the life sciences\, such as biomolecular 
 simulation.\n\nThe course is organised and funded by PerMedCoE - the HPC/E
 xascale Centre of Excellence in Personalised Medicine\, and BioExcel - the
  Centre of Excellence for Computational Biomolecular Research (http://bioe
 xcel.eu)\, using MareNostrum\, part of the Spanish supercomputing network 
 (https://www.bsc.es/marenostrum/marenostrum).\n\nPre-requisites: Familiar
 ity with basic Linux commands (at the level of being able to navigate a fi
 le system) is recommended. You may find a Linux online course such as http
 s://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/ useful if you are less familiar wi
 th Linux.\n\nNo programming skills or previous HPC experience is required.
 \n\nLearning Outcomes: On completion of the course\, we expect that atten
 dees will be able to:\n\n- Explain the drivers and motivation to use HPC\n
 - Describe the European HPC landscape and HPC facilities available to rese
 archers\n- Identify HPC hardware - Building blocks and architectures\n- De
 fine Parallel computing - Programming models and implementations\n- Use HP
 C systems:\n\n\n	Access\n	Batch schedulers &amp\; resource allocation\n	Ru
 nning jobs\n	Dealing with errors\n	Compiling code\n	Using libraries\n	Perf
 ormance\n\n\nTarget group: Life science researchers without previous expe
 rience in HPC.\n\nPlaces available: 40 \nRegistration is open until the 17
 th of January 2021 at 23:59 CET.\nAllocation of places will be based on a 
 ‘first come - first served’ basis.\n\nPlease download and carefully re
 ad the following instructions regarding the logistics participants enrol
 ling online PATC at BSC are expected to follow.\n\nCourse convenors: Danie
