Overview
Set with Master in High Performance Computing (MHPC) at the International School for Advanced Studies in the stimulating research environment of its co-organizer institutions, SISSA and ICTP, the program combines lectures with hands-on and applied projects to prepare future HPC specialists for academia and industry.
Key facts
Thanks to the strong connection between the Master's programme, industry and academia, you will follow a unique training path, and the projects you will be able to tackle with competence and professionalism are numerous. For example:
- implementation of machine learning algorithms for industrial applications that work in real-time,
- analysis of big data using modern machine learning techniques,
- optimisation and parallelisation of existing codes,
- development of HPC libraries,
- development of digital-twin for the transition to Industry 4.0
Career
The skills acquired make it possible to respond to the growing demand for access to large-scale scientific computing resources, which is now essential in many research areas, and to bridge the gap between IT and academia, providing the opportunity to successfully pursue different types of careers.
Their alumni testify that this specialization course opens doors in academia as well as in industry and consulting companies. Data from the first seven editions confirm this trend, as almost all alumni found a job in the field of HPC within 12 months of completing their training: 66% in academia and 34% in companies.
