Practitioner-built · Open

HPC infrastructure knowledge, built in the open.

A practitioner-built ecosystem for HPC infrastructure engineers — training, resources, and research access. One domain, growing deliberately.

The ecosystem

Training

Professional HPC infrastructure training — four courses from first principles to production ownership. Instructor-led, real clusters, no vendor lock-in.

Academic outreach

HPC infrastructure access and mentorship for academic researchers and institutions who need production-grade compute without production-grade budgets.

Why this exists

HPC knowledge should not live only inside vendor ecosystems and research labs — it belongs to the engineers who operate the infrastructure.

Infrastructure that is well understood becomes infrastructure that behaves. The gap between the two is almost always a knowledge problem, not a hardware problem.

Practitioner-built means built by someone who has operated what they teach — not surveyed it, not consulted on it, but run it in production under pressure.

The person behind it

Rajesh Kumar

HPC Architect · 16+ years · Bengaluru

Sixteen years of HPC infrastructure across research computing, life sciences, aerospace, and cloud. hpc.now is the platform he wished existed when he started — independent, practitioner-built, and built for the long run.
