Remote Computing

In this section we discuss Remote Computing, which for the purpose of this class is everything you are not computing on your local machine. We will have a special focus on High Performance Computing (HPC) but also look at differences to Cloud Computing and other possibilities to offload computational work.

In order to get a better understanding on what the differences are, how they work together and whatnot we start by a short history of computing.
