HPC Training Series - Course 21 "HPC for Beginners: SLURM, MPI and OpenMP"

Friday 20 Mar 2026, 10:45 → 16:45 Europe/Athens

EuroCC@Greece announces the 21st Course of HPC Training Series with the subject “HPC for Beginners: SLURM, MPI and OpenMP”, taking place online on March 20th, 2026.

Presentation language: Greek 

Audience: Suitable for all users, with a focus on:

• Engineers
• Developers
• IT Professionals
• Students
• Researchers

This course is ideal for those looking to understand the basics of how parallel computing technologies, such as MPI and OpenMP, can improve code performance.

Course Description: This is an introductory course designed for engineers, developers, IT professionals, students, and researchers looking to enhance code performance using parallel computing. Participants will learn fundamental concepts of High-Performance Computing (HPC), with a focus on shared and distributed memory parallelism. The course covers the open-source workload manager and job scheduler SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management), OpenMP for shared memory parallelism, and MPI for distributed memory computing, introducing both single-node and multi-node parallel techniques, respectively. Additionally, participants will gain insights into accessing Greek and European supercomputers for research and development. No prior HPC experience is required, but basic programming knowledge (C, C++, or Fortran) is recommended.
