This guide provides a comprehensive overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) to equip students with a full skill set including cluster setup, network selection, and a background of supercomputing competitions. It covers the system, architecture, evaluating approaches, and other practical supercomputing techniques.

As the world’s largest supercomputing hackathon, the ASC Student Supercomputer Challenge has attracted a growing number of new talent to supercomputing and has greatly promoted communications in the global HPC community. Enclosed in this book, readers will also find how to analyze and optimize supercomputing systems and applications in real science and engineering cases.

Nowadays, supercomputers are widely used in areas such as weather prediction, geophysics exploration, earth modeling, developments of new material and drug, as well as automobile and aircraft designs. In the meantime, supercomputing is also an important method for dealing with essential social and economic issues. For example, decisions can be made faster and more effective in environmental protection, gene sequencing, natural disaster prediction and Internet deep learning with the help of supercomputing.
