PHAROS AI Factory announces the 2nd Course of its Training Series, taking place online on Zoom with the subject "Introduction to HPC".
Date: September 26th, 2025, at 10:00 EET
Location: Online via Zoom
Presentation Languages: Greek
Audience: This module is designed for professionals and students in software development, data science, engineering, and related fields, teams moving from laptop-based work to national/European supercomputing services and industry practitioners interested in AI and HPC applications.
Course Description: This module, part of the Pharos HPC curriculum, offers a practical pathway from a personal computer to European supercomputing centres. It starts with a short setup and check-up of the training virtual environment, showing how to spot and fix common issues so the tools used will work smoothly. We then introduce the Pharos Project, its mission, and present the Pharos Training Events. The hands-on section uses OpenMP to show the basic idea of sharing work across the cores of a single machine: writing small examples, running them, timing them, and learning simple habits that make programs clearer and faster. Next, we explain how access to EU supercomputers works in practice, how to request access and also present basic architectures. Finally, we show how to run OpenMP jobs through a queueing system (SLURM): describing what resources a job needs, submitting it, following its progress, reading messages when something goes wrong, and applying small, careful changes to make runs more reliable.
Learning Objectives
-
Set up and troubleshoot the virtual environment used.
-
Write, run, and assess small OpenMP examples that share work across one computer to improve speed.
-
Access EU supercomputers and submit applications.
