The following presentation introduces the fundamentals of High-Performance Computing (HPC). To complement the presentation, a series of practical exercises are provided in supplementary modules, which can be used to reinforce the material introduced in the slides. The practical exercises are designed primarily to be completed on the Cray XT supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputer Centre (CSCS), Switzerland. Note For Non-CSCS UsersIf you want to complete the practicals on your own system, you can directly download the source code templates for the exercises here.

A PDF version of the slide-show can be downloaded to your desktop here [40 MB].If you are completing the practical exercises on the CSCS Cray XT systems, please review the material in the module "Editing, Compiling and Submitting Jobs on Ela", before commencing.
