High Performance Computing

Undergraduate (3rd year) / MSc, Department of Computer Science, University of Exeter, 2022

The demand for ever-increasing computational power drives the development and exploitation of high-performance computing that underpins leading edge research in computationally intensive scientific and engineering fields. This module discusses the current high-performance computer architectures, and how the computer architecture influences the performance of algorithms and programs. It also includes parallel algorithm design and parallel programming, and provides the opportunity to access a high-performance computing system at Exeter.
