Research - Introduction to using the HPC clusters

Several scientific applications require computing and or storage resources that go beyond the processing power of a single multi-core machine. High performance computing (HPC) clusters provide the necessary hardware and software infrastructure to efficiently run computing and data intensive applications. This course provides detailed information on how to efficiently use UNIL compute and storage infrastructure, and also to install/run most of the applications (R and Python based at least) on this infrastructure.
