HPC Awareness Program 2024-25
CDAC

About
Under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), C-DAC, in collaboration with IITs, is dedicated to consistently upskilling NSM users. With each annual cycle, a new batch of users joins while the previous one retires, and newcomers often face challenges in accessing the systems deployed under NSM. To address this need, C-DAC offers a comprehensive HPC Awareness Program designed to build foundational skills and confidence. Spanning six months, the program includes one session per month, scheduled on the first Friday of every month at 4:00 PM. These sessions introduce key HPC concepts and cover practical topics such as setting environment variables and efficiently using schedulers. The program is tailored for students, professionals, and researchers, blending theoretical insights with hands-on practical sessions to provide a robust understanding of HPC tools, techniques, and applications. This initiative aims to empower participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate HPC systems effectively and contribute to NSM’s goals.
Objective
The objective of this program is to equip participants with advanced knowledge, skills, and expertise in the field of high-performance computing.
