Description
This event will build on the knowledge and competences of the HPC IntermediateTraining Event, and teach more advanced aspects of HPC and will include GPU Programming, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, AI and Deep Learning.
This event is part of the EuroCC project and the National Competence Center activities.
Pre-requisites
Attendees should be familiar with at least one programming language, such as C/C++, Fortran, or Python. Hands on exercises are part of the training and will be provided in C, C++, and Python
Attendees should ideally have attended the EuroCC NCC HPC Beginner Training Event and HPC Intermediate Training Event. If not, interested attendees are advised to follow these events via the following links:

- https://castorc.cyi.ac.cy/events/hpc-intermediate-training-event-04-2021
Requirements
All attendees will need their own desktop or laptop with the following software installed:
- Web browser - e.g. Firefox or Chrome
- PDF viewer - e.g. Firefox, Adobe Acrobat
- ssh client - Terminal for Mac or Linux is fine. For Windows Putty should be fine.
