HPC User Training

If you want to apply for an HPC  account, you can find out more about the application process, the available HPC systems and their general usage guidelines in our Getting Started Guide.

On every second Tuesday of the month we organize the HPC-Cafe at RRZE. This is an event where you can get in touch with us in person, discuss problems and ask questions. There are short talks on how to efficiently use the HPC Systems and other relevant topics. New users and HPC beginners in general are offered a crash course for the first steps on our HPC systems. And last but not least there is free coffee and cake!

We are also able and willing to come to your chair or research group and give you a general introduction to HPC for beginners, with a special focus on the systems at RRZE. We can adapt the depth and focus of the talk according to your needs. Please contact us via hpc-support@fau.de if you are interested. Slides from a recent presentation can be found here:
