| Description of the course:
This course tackles advanced scientific calculation methods, both from a theoretical point of view and from the point of view of the implementation of high-performance applications.
Table of Contents:
The algorithms studied cover the following topics: interpolation (polynomials, Fourier, wavelets), integration, solution of large linear and non-linear systems (direct and iterative methods), eigenvalue problems, numerical methods for PDEs.
The course uses the C programming language for the efficient implementation of these algorithms, both serial and parallel.
Practical work covers in detail the use of BLAS and LAPACK libraries and the parallelisation of algorithms using MPI and Open MP. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the course the students will have studied various advanced scientific computing algorithms. They will have learned the basics of their efficient implementation on serial and parallel computers, and will be familiar with the muticore (shared memory) programming paradigm using OpenMP, and the distributed memory programming paradigm using MPI. |
