Brief Introduction

Learn parallel programming with OpenMP, CUDA, MPI & HPC cluster systems with Slurm and PBS, AWS HPC Parallel Cluster

Description

WELCOME!

Welcome to the First-ever, the easiest and the most vibrant High Performance Computing (HPC) Systems course on the Udemy platform. The goal main of this course is to introduce you with the HPC systems and its software stack. This course has been specially designed to enable you to utilize parallel & distributed programming and computing resources to accelerate the solution of a complex problem with the help of HPC systems and Supercomputers. You can then use your knowledge in Machine learning, Deep learning, Data Sciences, Big data and so on.

WHAT'S NEW?

HOW TO RUN CODES @ AWS HPC CLUSTER 2021!

With the recent advantage of the faster Cloud technologies, AWS provides the most elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure to run your HPC applications. With virtually unlimited capacity, engineers, researchers, and HPC system owners can innovate beyond the limitations of on-premises HPC infrastructure. We have added lectures to show and tell you on how to build a AWS HPC cluster and how to run codes -easily!

NEW CUDA LESSONS

We understand that CUDA is a difficult API, particularly the memory models. We have added some easy to understand CUDA lessons with examples to make your life easy and comfortable to grasp the basics fast!

LIVE CLASS SERIES

Based on your earlier feedback, we are introducing a Zoom live class lecture series on this course through which we will explain different aspects of the Parallel and distributed computing and the High Performance Computing (HPC) systems software stack: Slurm, PBS Pro, OpenMP, MPI and CUDA! Live classes will be delivered through the Scientific Programming School, which is an interactive and advanced e-learning platform for learning scientific coding.

INTERACTIVE PLAYGROUNDS

Students purchasing this course will receive free access to the interactive version (with Scientific code playgrounds) of this course from the SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING SCHOOL (SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING IO).

Instructions to join are given in the bonus content section.

WHAT IS CLUSTER COMPUTING?

HPC clusters typically have a large number of computers (often called ‘nodes’) and, in general, most of these nodes would be configured identically. Though from the out side the cluster may look like a single system, the internal workings to make this happen can be quite complex. This idea should not be confused with a more general client-server model of computing as the idea behind clusters is quite unique. Cluster computing utilize multiple machines to provide a more powerful computing environment perhaps through a single operating system.

WHAT DO YOU LEARN?

A Little bit of Supercomputing history, Supercomputing examples, Supercomputers vs. HPC clusters, HPC clusters computers, Benefits of using cluster computing.

Components of a High Performance Systems (HPC) cluster, Properties of Login node(s), Compute node(s), Master node(s), Storage node(s), HPC networks and so on.
