DESCRIPTION:NCC Spain offers the Introduction to Supercomputing course. It
  is a self-paced online module designed for professionals\, companies (esp
 ecially SMEs)\, researchers\, and technical staff interested in understand
 ing how High-Performance Computing (HPC) can be used to solve complex comp
 utational and data-intensive challenges.\nThrough video lessons and self-a
 ssessment quizzes\, participants will gain a practical understanding of su
 percomputing concepts\, architectures\, infrastructures\, and access mecha
 nisms. The course also introduces the use of HPC resources for application
 s in artificial intelligence\, simulation\, engineering\, scientific compu
 ting\, and data analytics.\nSyllabus\n\nWhat is Supercomputing?: Motivatio
 n for using supercomputing\; definition and characteristics\; advantages a
 nd challenges\; use cases (simulations\, scientific and healthcare calcula
 tions\, services\, artificial intelligence).\nTaxonomy of Parallel Compute
 rs: Shared-memory architecture (multi-core nodes)\; distributed-memory arc
 hitecture (clusters)\; heterogeneous systems (GPUs).\nCluster Architecture
 : Data center infrastructure (security\, power\, cooling)\; compute nodes 
 (servers)\; interconnection networks\; storage systems (NFS).\nAccess to S
 upercomputers: Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES)\; RES resources and no
 des\; access procedures\; private providers.\nUsing a Cluster: Front-end a
 ccess\; application execution through queue managers\; input and output fi
 le management.\nProgramming Model: Message-passing paradigm\; concepts of 
 programs and processes\; communication and synchronization.\n\n\nhttps://e
