Some preliminary words

These course notes are document the material in the CalcUA course "Supercomputers for Starters" which itself has grown into a course covering more than just the CalcUA infrastructure and may in the future also evolve to cover other similar courses. It is often written in a rather informal style and isn't meant to be a book or so.

Disclaimer: This is unofficial documentation that is under continuous evolution. It is the result of my work at the CalcUA service of the University of Antwerp for the Vlaams Supercomputer Centrum.

The latest version of the corresponding slides is available on the CalcUA training web page. There are also video recordings from the November 2020 edition with some updates from the spring 2021 edition but these may not be world-visible.
