=====HPC School=====

The **HPC Winter School** is the CHPC's flagship course in //parallel programming// for high performance computing covering:

  * Introduction to high performance computing hardware, systems and techniques
  * Multi-core programming with OpenMP
  * Using message passing (MPI) on cluster super computers
  * High performance co-processors
  * Rapid prototyping for HPC with python



====APPLICATION====

  * Applications for The 2018 HPC Winter School are **closed**.
