Lecture slides, codes and materials for the 6-credit course on High Performance Computing.
Stefano Cozzini, Area Science Park, Trieste
Luca Tornatore, INAF - National Institute for Astrophysics, Astronomical Observatory of Trieste
Marco Celoria Area Science Park
Lab session are helped as well by Orfeo team at Area Science Park
Computational resource to be used: ORFEO cluster see https://orfeo-doc.areasciencepark.it/
The recordings of the lectures will be transferred here
- decent knowledge of linux command line interface
- decent knwoledge of a programming language ( C and/or C++ but even Fortran is fine)
- decent knowledge of scripting language ( python is fine but bash awk perl are also welcome}
