Free online course: Supercomputing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
www.futurelearn.com/courses/supercomputing
Today’s supercomputers are the most powerful calculating machines ever invented, capable of performing more than a thousand million million calculations every second. This gives scientists and engineers a powerful new tool to study the natural world: computer simulation.
This free online course will introduce you to what supercomputers are, how they are used and how we can exploit their full computational potential to make scientific breakthroughs.
* Register now for the first run on 6th March 2017! *
The course has been developed by the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) and EPCC at The University of Edinburgh in collaboration with SURFsara from The Netherlands.
