We have gathered information about training events in HPC, big data, and artificial intelligence offered in Latvia and Europe. Here you can find training events according to your HPC knowledge level, scientific domain, technical domain, teaching format, and training language.
Here you can choose the most suitable education in HPC, big data or artificial intelligence. HPC competence center in Latvia is one of overall 33 HPC competence centers in Europe. One of the competence center’s task is to identify current competences in the country regarding HPC use, as well as improving your current skills via different training events.
Courses offered by HPC competence center in Latvia

The course “Introduction to high-performance computing technology CUDA” is offered in collaboration with RTU HPC center. The training covers the theoretical and practical principles of high-performance computing hardware and software architecture, computing algorithms, application libraries and tools, as well as applied interdisciplinary use of GPU-based parallel computing platform CUDA.

The course “Applied use of the high-performance computing technology CUDA” is offered in collaboration with RTU HPC center. The training covers the theoretical and practical principles of CUDA implementation on multiprocessor graphical systems and CUDA cloud computing possibilities in a remote server environment, in particular.

“MATLAB introductory course” is offered in collaboration with RTU HPC center. MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualisation, and programming. The course covers basic language constructions, functions, scripts, data filtering and cross-section design, as well as shows relational operations, symbolic math, as well as data import and export.




Running MATLAB on HPC (Part 2)

The training webinar covers theoretical and practical principles of creating Neural networks in MATLAB, and running training process on supercomputers, including running on GPU and running on parallel processors. Also, at the beginning of the seminar, some questions related to sending MATLAB tasks to HPC will be covered. Some general information about the ability to run MATLAB functions on a multiprocessor environment will be provided.
This webinar is created in collaboration with CoE RAISE and RTU HPC Center. Lecturer – Dr.Sc.Ing. Maris Tērauds. Duration – 2h.
Video recording from the webinar on October 16, 2023 is available here and also on our YouTube channel.

NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute course presented by NVIDIA Ambassador in Latvia Asoc. professor Dr. sc. ing. Arnis Lektauers. The course will cover CUDA basics. Next course will be on November 21 and 28 (8h in total). This course will be provided in Latvian with presentation slides from NVIDIA in English. In order to take part in the course, please register first. Number of participants is limited.

Simulink is a block diagram environment used to design systems with multidomain models, simulate before moving to hardware, and deploy without writing code.
Webinar was created in collaboration with RTU HPC Center. Recording from the webinar on 28.06.2024. is available on our YouTube channel.

MATLAB organizes seminars and practical workshops between September 9 and 25, 2024 on using MATLAB on HPC. Workshop on RTU HPC will be on September 23 15:00-18:00 EEST.
- September 9 – parallel computing on HPC with MATLAB;
- September 16 – creating end-to-end AI systems with MATLAB;
- September 23 – hands-on practice to use MATLAB on RTU HPC.
More information is available here.
The next workshop series is coming in September 2025. Information will follow.

A course on introduction to CUDA in English, primarily for participants from Latvia and Poland. Time and date: March 25 and April 1, 15:00-18:00 CET.
A four week course in Latvian covers HPC basics and includes topics, such as HPC in comparison with regular computers, HPC architecture and most popular terms. In addition to this, it covers history of supercomputing, parallel computing basics, as well as some popular success stories in using an HPC.

In collaboration with HPC Competence Center in Poland, on April 23 (9:30-13:30 CET), we offer a course on parallel programming basics. Instructor Jakub Gałecki, University of Warsaw.
