About This Course
High-Performance Computing for Environmental Simulations teaches how to run the big models environmental science depends on. You learn the HPC essentials — parallelism, distributed computing and performance — and how they apply to compute-heavy environmental simulations: climate, weather, ocean, hydrology and pollution models. The course connects HPC practice to the scale these simulations demand, from setting up runs to managing and analysing large outputs. You finish able to reason about running an environmental simulation on HPC. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
