Agenda

See link to the detailed program (CEST time, preliminary, refers to the analogous classroom course held at the University of Siegen). This course will include a new block on Lattice Boltzmann methods.

Course language is German. Nevertheless, some lectures will be held in English. The course material is also in English.

Handout

Each participant will get a paper copy of all slides.

Our course fees include coffee breaks (in classroom courses only).

On-site course & COVID rules

Although this event is a training course, another important aspect is the scientific exchange between participants, which did not work as well as we hoped in our online courses.

The concept to enable this communication among our participants consists of

a social event on the first course day,
common coffee and lunch breaks, and
working together in groups of two during the exercises (if desired by the individual participants and permitted by the COVID-19 rules).

For your safety, we will only allow participants fully vaccinated or fully recovered or tested negatively to COVID-19 on all days. You must wear a medical mask or FFP2 face mask everywhere on-site. If a distance of 1.5 m cannot be guaranteed indoors, e.g., if you are working in pairs in exercises, it must be an FFP2 mask. Details can be found on the registration page.

We strongly recommend to choose travel options and hotels with the possibility to cancel (even close to the event) because we might be forced to deliver the course as an online course.

PRACE PATC and bwHPC

HLRS is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) that started in Feb. 2012. This course is not part of the PATC curriculum and is not sponsored by the PATC program.
HLRS is also member of the Baden-Württemberg initiative bwHPC. This course is also provided within the framework of the bwHPC training program.
