Online

As a joint effort of bwHPC-S5 and NHR@KIT, the Steinbuch Centre for Computing is hosting an introductory level course on the parallel use of OpenFOAM software for (future) users of the bwUniCluster or HoreKa supercomputers. The course will be held online May 17, 2022 from 9:30 to 15:00. The course covers topics like using modules for setting up the environment, some linux commands, submitting parallel jobs or setting up harddisk space for the computations as well as two OpenFOAM tutorials. The course will be given by Dr.-Ing. Jordan Denev (SCC, Competence Center for Engineering and SimDataLab Engineering in Energy and Mobility).

Participants are expected to already have an account on one of the above two SCC supercomputers. Please, immediately after the first login complete the required survey, otherwise your account may be blocked after two weeks. Please plan several days (3 or 4) for obtaining an account (you should set up VPN and a 2-way authentication before the course).

The course will take place virtually and participants will get per Email the link 1 day before the course. No course fees apply.
