Overview

This one-day workshop will introduce attendees to submitting parallel computing jobs with MATLAB on CINECA’s pre-exascale HPC cluster, Leonardo. Participants will learn how to solve compute- and data-intensive problems using Leonardo’s multicore processors and GPUs. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will gain experience accessing Leonardo, configuring and submitting MATLAB jobs, and retrieving results using MATLAB. By working through common scenarios for parallelizing MATLAB algorithms, participants will develop a solid understanding of parallel computing with MATLAB on HPC clusters and learn best practices.
 

Key Points
