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
Introduction to Computational Science at Graduate Level
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
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.
