Abstract of CPS615 Introductory Lecture
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!
