π― What You’ll Gain
This training provides a structured introduction to the OpenHPC 2.x ecosystem, with a strong focus on practical skills you can apply in real HPC environments.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand the core components of OpenHPC 2.x
Build and manage a virtual HPC cluster on your own machine
Work with job schedulers, basic cluster setup, and performance considerations
Develop a clearer picture of how HPC systems are configured and used in practice
π©π» Who This Is For
The Virtual Lab is open to participants worldwide and is well-suited to:
Researchers and academics working with data-intensive computing
Graduate students beginning to use HPC in their research
Engineers and developers who want exposure to high-performance systems
IT professionals supporting or planning HPC infrastructure
Suggested background:
A basic understanding of HPC concepts, especially from a system administration perspective, will help you get the most from the session. More information is available on the event page.
π Training Topics
The session includes hands-on work with:
OpenHPC 2.x architecture and ecosystem tools
Installation and configuration approaches
Job submission and resource management using schedulers
π Why Join This Virtual Lab?
The Virtual Lab series is designed to be practical and approachable. Instead of only learning theory, you’ll work through real tasks in a guided environment.
By the end, you will:
Have practical experience with a working OpenHPC-based setup
Better understand how HPC clusters are structured and managed
Be able to continue experimenting using the local virtual cluster you built during the training
Connect with others who are also developing their HPC skills
π️ Registration
The training is free, but registration is required.
