35383 High Performance Computing

6cp; 4hpw
Requisite(s): 35281 Numerical Methods

This subject examines some of the main aspects of high performance computing, particularly as applied to problems arising in scientific and technological applications. The solution of such problems is often computationally intensive, and the use of parallel computer systems and programs in their solution can provide substantial benefits. Topics include the modern Fortran 95 programming language, the use of MPI (in distributed memory environments) and OpenMP (in shared memory environments) to implement parallel programs.
