The PATC/CompBioMed Winter School 2019, “Short course on HPC-based Computational Bio-Medicine”, took place at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) on 13-15 February 2019.
The objective of the course was to give a panorama on the use of HPC-based computational mechanics in Engineering and Environment through the projects BSC is carrying out. This panorama includes the basics of what is behind the main tools: computational mechanics and parallelization. The training was delivered in collaboration with PRACE.
The course gave a wide perspective and the latest trends of how HPC helps in industrial, clinical and research applications allowing to achieve more realistic multiphysics simulations. In addition, the students had the opportunity of visiting and running jobs in Marenostrum supercomputer.
The course targeted trainees with some theoretical and practical knowledge, PhD students, master students, engineers, specialists with at least 1st cycle degree or similar background experience.
The course was free-of-charge. 5 travel grants were given to a selected number of participants for covering part of their travelling expenses (you can read their written reviews here).
