Material related to the first tutorial on "High Performance Computing" (HPC) which took place at the University of Oldenburg from 19.11.2013 to 21.11.2013. More precisely, the tutorial was be split into three sessions. The first two sessions feature the parts I and II (listed below) and were held at:

 Seminar-Room: W04 1-162: 
 Tue, 19.11.13 - 14-16 Uhr
 Wed, 20.11.13 - 16-18 Uhr

The third session (part III) comprises practical exercises which are meant to illustrate some of the content presented in the earlier parts and is held at:

 Computer-Lab: W01 0-008:
 Thu, 21.11.13 - 09-12 Uhr

The target audience of this 1st HPC tutorial are new Users of the local HPC system, for whom, in order to benefit from the tutorial, the skills of reading and writing C-programs are of avail.
