EUMaster4HPC Summer School welcomes students from universities around the world to get cutting-edge knowledge in HPC and HPC-related technologies for one week, from 18 to 24 August 2024 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The EUMaster4HPC Summer School will offer students practical insights into HPC and data analytics, addressing the growing demand for expertise in these areas. Participants will gain competencies in various tools and techniques, empowering them to tackle real-world challenges effectively.
In this summer school, students will learn how to prepare data and understand its characteristics to create meaningful machine learning models on an HPC architecture. For this purpose, we will use open-source programming languages, such as R and Python. The supercomputing infrastructure of IT4Innovations will be used for hands-on exercises, which will be an integral part of all lectures. At the end of the summer school, the student will gain competencies in the following:
- Using a Linux-based HPC environment.
- Understanding the theoretical background of exploratory data analysis and modeling.
- Scale data analysis for Big Data in R and Python.
- Creating basic Machine and Deep Learning models in R and Python.
- Deciding whether to use Machine or Deep Learning methods.
- Building data processing pipelines for Machine or Deep Learning tasks.
- Knowing how to set up and run data analysis in parallel on an HPC cluster with R and Python.
- Parallelization of Machine and Deep Learning tasks to use multiple compute nodes and/or multiple accelerators (GPUs).
- Using MATLAB tools for HPC and data analysis.
The summer school is organized in collaboration with IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center, which is part of the VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, VSC (Vienna Scientific Cluster) Research Center, which is part of TU Wien, and MathWorks. These entities will contribute expertise and resources to enrich the experience for all participants.

Conditions and fees
Eligible EUMaster4HPC students need to cover their travel costs to Ostrava and back. Their accommodation and attendance at the summer school are arranged and fully covered directly by the organizers. It includes attendance at the lessons, access to the HPC infrastructure, catering during the lessons (coffee breaks and lunches), two social events, and a field trip to Pustevny.
External students must cover all expenses related to travel and accommodation themselves. MathWorks kindly sponsors their attendance fee of 250 EUR. It includes attendance at the lessons, access to the HPC infrastructure, catering during the lessons (coffee breaks and lunches), two social events, and a field trip to Pustevny.
External students need to arrange for their travel to and stay in Ostrava. Organizers can help book accommodation at the same hotel as the EUMaster4HPC students and tutors, but the external students must pay for their stay. The prices vary based on occupancy and room standards and will be communicated to accepted students.
In the event of a higher demand than available spots for external students, applications will be carefully reviewed. Selected students will be notified about their acceptance by the end of June. We kindly request that you refrain from making any bookings until you receive official confirmation from us about your acceptance. This ensures a fair and transparent selection process for all applicants.
Registration
Registration for this training event has to be done at the main EUMaster4HPC Summer School page.
