***DATA SCIENCE AND DATA SCIENCE WITH BUSINESS STUDENTS ONLY***

Data science often requires the storage and processing of large datasets that are beyond the capacity of standard desktop computing. In this module you will learn about high-performance computing and how it can be deployed effectively to perform computational tasks with heavy demands. You will also study the diverse range of architectures for storing and processing very large datasets. The module will cover the core principles underlying software and hardware designs for handling high-demand computation, as well as modern solutions such as distributed systems, super-computers and cloud computing. You will also learn practical skills in software development for HPC and how to access computing resources made available by major commercial providers.

Pre-requisites: ECMM430 Fundamentals of Data Science Co-requisites: None.
