Seminar Series 'Hardware & Numerics'
The aim of the seminar
The aim of the seminar series 'Hardware & Numerics' was to connect all HZDR users of HPC and scientific calculations by means of a common scientific language which is the numerics. All simulations and data processings are based on a set of standard methods which are quite similar also for very different fields of applications. Furthermore most of the methods depend strongly on the architecture on which those calculations are intended to be implemented for. Therefore it is highly important to understand hardware architectures in order to be able to create optimized simulations.
The seminar series was organized between autumn 2020 and winter 2022/23. After the regular rounds of the seminar some individual events have been organized which have a similar context as the original seminar series.
Workshop: Introduction to ROssendorf Supercomputing Infrastructure (RoSI)
The workshop was held on Sept. 22nd and 23rd 2025 in order to get started with the new HPC cluster RoSI.
