Current information regarding the winter term 2025/2026: here
In this seminar, the participants will further deepen their knowledge about high performance computing and modern fields of application. Students learn to independently configure advanced simulations and, above all, to pay attention to the efficiency and sustainability of their code. Together with the HPC experts from SCC at KIT, participants will work on current research topics from the fields of engineering, climate and material sciences.
This course is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments.
