Course description
This course teaches the methods and technology of high-performance computing. Primarily a project-based course, students select a scientific model they are interested in parallelising and then apply some or all of the techniques of vectorisation (SIMD, AVX), threading (MIMD, openMP), GPU programming (CUDA), and/or cluster computing (MPI) to accelerate their computation.
