CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures
Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science on Fall Semester 97. Foils prepared 27 August 1997
|
This introduces the course which covers the essential programming and algorithmic skills needed for large scale (serious) computing (aka simulation)
|
We start with an overview of course itself and describe how it compares to other computational science offerings
-
We point out new modules on web based computing
|
|
In Introductory material, we describe some large simulations of interest (the so called Grand Challenges)
|
|
An Overview of Technology trends driving the computer industry (in web and simulation areas!)
|
|
Overview of computational science education program here and elsewhere
|
|
Parallel Computing in Society and why it works in computers!
|
This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also
be looked at on their own!
