<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Today’s supercomputers are the most powerful calculating machines ever invented, capable of performing more than a thousand million million calculations every second. This gives scientists and engineers a powerful new tool to study the
natural world - computer simulation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This free 5-week online course will introduce you to what supercomputers are, how they are used and how we can exploit their full computational potential to make scientific breakthroughs.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This course was developed by EPCC at the University of Edinburgh and by SURFsara as part of the EC-funded PRACE project.<o:p></o:p></p>
