Online Workshop on High Performance Computing for Astronomy and Astrophysics

September 20-23, 2021

Organized by SKA-India Consortium and IIT Kharagpur

Under the aegis of National Supercomputing Mission

About the Workshop:

In recent times, different research areas in Astronomy & Astrophysics have started to rely on high performance computing (HPC). The workshop aims to cover different aspects relevant for using HPC to solve problems in such areas. Basics of HPC programming framework will be complemented by timely and relevant topics in Astronomy & Astrophysics where HPC resources are indispensable.
