The Practical HPC course is intended to teach practical skills for using the CHPC supercomputer cluster effectively and efficiently. It cover two main topics:

1. Workflow to Job Script
2. Scaling

over two weeks. These topics are approximately 6 sections, with a core of 4 sections and 2 optional sections.

First we cover the basics of the user's view of the cluster and how to write, submit and monitor a job script.

Scaling is the performance of a parallel program across different number of nodes and cores. First we cover the basics of compiling a program for the cluster, then we look at performance measurement and scaling.
