HLRS concept for on-site courses

Besides the content of the training itself, an important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by

a social event on the evening of the first course day,
offering common coffee and lunch breaks and
working together in groups of two during the exercises. Laptops wil be provided.

Registration information

Lunch breaks

We plan to have lunch in the unversity's canteen (Mensa Stuttgart-Vaihingen, have a look at their menu online, paying by card only). Two other near possibilities for lunch are on all days:

A food truck from 11:00-14:00 in Allmandring 35, approximately 300 m from HLRS,
Bakery Sehne, near bus stop "Im Lauchhau", approximately 400 m from HLRS.

We will update this information if opening times etc. change and inform you more precisely before the course starts.

HLRS training collaborations in HPC and AI

HLRS is part of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), together with JSC in Jülich and LRZ in Garching near Munich. EuroCC@GCS is the German National Competence Centre (NCC) for High-Performance Computing. HLRS is also a member of the Baden-Württemberg initiative bwHPC. Since 2025, HLRS coordinates HammerHAI.

This course is provided within the framework of the bwHPC training program.
