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