Module title:High Performance Computing
Module codeECMM461
Module lecturers:Dr Man Luo
Module credits:15

The demand for ever-increasing computational power drives the development and exploitation of high-performance computing that underpins leading edge research in computationally intensive engineering technologies fields. This module is designed to equip you with a solid foundation and useful skills in high-performance and distributed computing. In this module, you will learn about current high-performance computer architectures and how the computer architecture influences the performance of algorithms and programs. You will also develop skills in parallel algorithm design and parallel programming, and will gain experience of using a high-performance computing system.  

Students should have some familiarity with basic C programming and the basics of differential equations and linear algebra.
