Overview

This course spans two half-days and focuses on utilising the Dardel high-performance computing (HPC) system provided by PDC. Throughout the course, we will cover fundamental information about Dardel and its usage, including an overview of the infrastructure, account management, logging in procedures, job execution, data storage, and code compilation. Specifically, we will progress from basic usage of Dardel to more advanced topics, such as exploring scientific areas where application experts can provide assistance and showcasing flagship software developed at KTH.

Who is it for?

This course is for new users of the Dardel system. No previous experience with using HPC resources is needed.
