Active since 1998, HLRS's training program in high-performance computing (HPC) is among the most extensive and experienced in Europe. Continually evolving to provide instruction in current themes in all fields related to high-performance computing, the program is operated in collaboration with the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing.
In addition to hosting courses in Stuttgart, we cooperate with other centers for high-performance computing across Germany and Europe to share our expertise with the widest possible community of HPC users. Visit the list of our upcoming courses and self-study materials.

Our training program addresses the needs of students at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels, as well as postdoctoral researchers and industry professionals who use high-performance computing in their work.
Course instruction takes place in German and/or in English.
The HLRS is a central facility of the University of Stuttgart, which is listed as an educational provider.
Many of HLRS's classroom courses are held in our state-of-the-art training facility, located on the University of Stuttgart's Vaihingen campus. Since 2020 we have also held synchronous online courses that take place live via videoconferencing software. Our online courses enable interaction among participants and instructors, and make it possible to ask questions in a similar way to classroom courses. In some cases, courses are also offered in a hybrid format, where it is possible to participate either in person or online.
In most units, the key to success is the combination of teaching and hands-on exercises. The exercises are typically programmed in groups of two participants on pre-installed systems in the classroom. In online courses, participants solve the exercises in small groups ("breakout rooms"). Here, the exercises are completed either on the participants' systems or on a remote cluster.
