Introduction to HPC at ZIH - Cluster overview

Chapter: Cluster overview

In this video, we describe and compare the available HPC hardware at TU Dresden in regard to their use cases.

The Center of Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) at TU Dresden, offers an Introduction course for HPC (High Performance Computing) system users twice a year. The presentation was recorded and divided into chapters, which were then respoken using an AI-generated voice. The videos and their content are a 'work in progress' and will be continuously updated.
