HCMUT HPC Summer School 2026

Program

A 3-day learning journey from HPC foundations to scalable AI and data-intensive workloads.

Program Overview

The program is designed as a progression from foundational concepts to hands-on practice and applied exploration. Students begin with the core ideas of HPC systems and cluster execution, then move toward modern AI and data-intensive workloads, and finally apply what they have learned through a mini challenge, seminar, and closing activities.
