[TEST] Become an HPC User (as a Researcher)

This learning path shows the different elements that one needs to master to make optimal use of High Performance Computing (HPC). Skills acquired in these courses can be applied to various infrastructure facilities (e.g. in-house supercomputer, Snellius, ODISSEI secure supercomputer, Hábrók, Nikhef Data Processing Facility).
