On 28. and 29. September 2026, we are offering an introduction to HPC in the style of the HPC Carpentries.
The two-day workshop is aimed at new users of HPC systems such as PLEIADES:

  • Logging in (SSH) and getting started on the cluster

Participants will need a PLEIADES account and bring their own laptop.

You can find more information on the workshop overview page.
Registration via Indico.
If you are interested in a repeat of the workshop at a different time, please let us know at pleiades[at]uni-wuppertal.de

Lecture: High Performance Computing in Engineering

During the summer semester we offer a practical introduction to HPC systems.
In weekly lectures and exercises, we teach Linux basics as well as concepts and typical problems of HPC systems.

This course is aimed at anyone interested in working with a HPC system for the first time, e.g. for graduation or research projects.
