Foil 12 Computational Science Courses -- CPS615

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Introduction to Computational Science at Graduate Level
2 This course in computational science shows how computational and numerical techniques from computer science and mathematics are used to solve problems in scientific and engineering applications.
  • Introductory modules discuss practical parallel computing and networking issues
  • Introduce software abstracted from High Performance Fortran for data parallel and PVM,MPI,Fortran-M for message passing. As course evolves we treat software more completely covering Fortran90, HPF and MPI
3 There are a set of modules built around generic scientific and engineering problems. Each contains:
  • Overview of Problem and Computational approach
  • the numerical methods suitable for solving the problems
  • The parallel computing (algorithm) issues
  • The implementation in data-parallel and/or message passing
  • how the resulting computation can be used in specific problems.
