This repository contains the materials for a practical introduction to using Tenstorrent Tensix for HPC.
This top level directory contains:
- lectures which holds the PDF lecture material, and source powerpoints, for the course, providing an overview to the system architecture and SDK
- practical contains the practical exercise material along with instructions around how to log into the EPCC RISC-V testbed system and access Tenstorrent hardware
