As part of the VPH2018 conference “VPH for In Silico Medicine”, running in Zaragoza on 5-7 September 2018, CompBioMed organized a training session titled
“High Performance Computing for the VPH – A practical introduction to HPC usage”
The course took place the day before the start of the conference, on 4 September 2018, at the conference venue, the University of Zaragoza.
The course targeted early phase researchers and aimed to provide a short and concise introduction to HPC programming as well as 2 application examples. All lectures were hands-on, using BSC’s MareNostrum supercomputer. The course was fully booked.
