HiPerCH stands for High Performance Computing in Hessen. This workshop series is targeted at students and scientists from Hessen with an interest in working on modern HPC hardware.
It is held once or twice a year on an alternating basis at HKHLR member sites.
We also organize user group meetings or special topic workshops, customized to your demand. Please send suggestions to office@hpc-hessen.de.
In this year's High Performance Computing in Hessen workshop (HiPerCH 16), HKHLR collaborates with Hessian Research Data Infrastructures (HeFDI) to conduct one of their HeFDI Code School events.
Sustainability, maintainablilty, testability and ease of use of research software, while gaining importance, often fall short in scientific practice. Applying principles of software engineering and design can greatly improve software quality, thereby enabling others to readily use it, to understand and reproduce results. Ultimately, this enhances the overall scientific quality of the published results.
In this course, we dive into the practical aspects of software engineering and design specifically tailored for scientific software, in order to make it more extensible, maintainable and testable. The principles we discuss can be applied to various types of codes such as software for numerical simulation as well as scripts for data processing.
We take the viewpoint of an academic software developer that is exposed to an existing code base with the task to add further functionality. Approaches to dealing with common obstacles like missing tests, interposed functional aspects and inherited technical dept will be discussed. Based on the lessons learned, we also explore how to structure and deploy software used for e.g. data processing.
During practical hands-on sessions, participants will interactively learn how to utilize software development techniques to tackle the aforementioned issues in practice in order to enhance the quality and reproducibility of their software.
HiPerCH is a workshop series conducted by the Hessian Competence Center for High Performance Computing (HKHLR) once a year and deals with advanced topics for users of the Hessian HPC clusters. Students and scientists from German universities or academic institutions with interest in working on modern HPC hardware can participate.
This year, HiPerCH will focus on research software development and data management. The workshop consists of two modules, each consisting of two days.
The modules are free and can be booked separately. Each module of the workshop is limited to 25 participants.
All talks and lectures will be in held in English.
Note: Unfortunately, we cannot cover travel, lodging or meal costs.

Hessen’s community of High Performance met in Darmstadt
Scientists from all over Hesse met to discuss topics of high performance computing. This meeting was organized by HPC-Hessen (Hessisches Kompetenzzentrum für Hochleistungsrechnen), which addressed a broad audience with its kick-off-workshop ranging from professors, post-docs and graduated students to students.
June 5, 2013, TU Darmstadt inaugurated the Lichtenberg cluster and started with a subsystem in test mode.
For an efficient usage of the cluster scientists, a first workshop on “High performance computing in Hesse” (HiPerCH) took place at TU Darmstadt.
This workshop contained scientific lectures, introduction to the system and presentations about parallel programming and hands-on sessions.
