Conference Room (HIM)

Welcome to our HPC Day 2025 @ HIM!

 

Learn and test everything you ever wanted to know and do with our cluster. Experience the computing power for yourself.

 

Get started for first time users in the morning and learn how to compute with Python, MPI and Singularity.

 

In the afternoon, learn from university experts on topics such as parallel file systems, network system and research data management.

 

Decide for yourself whether to attend the whole day or individual sessions.

 

Coffee/cookie breaks.
