Course convener: Mariano Vazquez
Lecturers: Mariano Vázquez (BSC), Okba Hamitou (Atos), Ricard Borrell (BSC), Diana Fernandez Velez (BSC), Carlos Teijeiro Barjas (SURFsara), Ben Czaja (UvA), Paul Melis (SURFsara), Cristobal Samaniego (BSC), David Oks (BSC), Alfonso Santiago(BSC), Alexander Heifetz (EVOTEC), Andrea Townsend-Nicholson (UCL).
Objectives:The objetive of this course is to give a panorama on the use of HPC-based computational mechanics in Engineering and Environment through the projects BSC are carrying on. This panorama includes the basics of what is behind the main tools: computational mechanics and parallelization. The training is delivered in collaboration with the center of excellence CompBioMed.
Learning outcomes: The course gives 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 student has the opportunity of running Jobs in Marenostrum supercomputer.
Level: INTERMEDIATE: For trainees with some theoretical and practical knowledge
