Summary
High Performance Computing (HPC) is the use of powerful processors, networks and parallel supercomputers to tackle problems that are very computationally or data-intensive.
Our programmes aim to provide you with in-demand skills and knowledge of the techniques and technologies underpinning parallelism and HPC.
You will learn how to write code that’s not just correct, but maintainable, efficient and scalable to the world’s most powerful supercomputers.
EPCC's postgraduate programmes give students from across all areas of science and engineering the skills required to become experienced practitioners, researchers, and leaders across HPC, computational and data science, and software engineering.
Building on our decades of experience delivering national HPC training, these programmes are based in a practical and 'hands-on' approach to learning via application of techniques and offer first hand experience using our own supercomputing facilities.
