[ONLINE] Access to Karolina (EuroCC)
[ON-LINE]
This course is dedicated to the most powerful Czech supercomputer KAROLINA. Participants will learn about its architecture and key parameters, how to access IT4Innovations resources, how to run jobs and how to use the GPU accelerated partition.
The course is taking place on-line. Zoom meeting details will be sent prior to the event to all registered participants.
