As others have said, it does depend on what “low level” means — eg. entry level or low level in the hardware sense, as Prentice said. In general, though, I’d say that you should have some working knowledge of what a job scheduler is, be it SLURM or SGE ob PBS or whatever, the major components, the concepts behind it. It’s almost a given that they’re using a job scheduler. You should also probably at least have a concept of how MPI works, and what sort of interconnects and storage one tends to encounter in HPC.<br>

They also may have some information on their website about their systems, depending who they are, which might help you target your review.<br>
