Course Description:
This course is designed for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students
in the fields of science and engineering.
The objective is to introduce the
essential numerical algorithmic ideas and provide
programming practice on advanced scientific
computer architecture.
The course contains following subjects:
- Overview of parallel computing.
- Parallel and distributed numerical computation.
- Numerical iterative techniques for solving large sparse systems.
- Numerical software design, analysis, implementation and
performance evaluation, including discussions
on the object-oriented programming techniques.
Students are expected to gain hands-on numerical programming experience
on state-of-the-art parallel computers. By the end of the course,
students are required to
apply the algorithms and techniques
learned in the class to projects
either in their own field (particularly encouraged)
or projects suggested by the instructor. Successful course project may
lead to
summer internship at the Argonne National Laboratory.
