High Performance Scientific Computing

ABOUT THE COURSE:Scientific computing has become an important third axis in the development of science in conjunction with theoretical and experimental studies. The tremendous growth in computing power, especially with high performance computing (HPC) clusters, over the last few decades have opened up opportunities to computationally study phenomena which were earlier beyond reach. Fluid Dynamics, Electromagnetics, Astrophysics, Biology, Finance etc are few of the domains which are greatly aided by scientific computing. There is a dire need to train researchers and graduate students in the effective use and programming practices of these HPC clusters. This course will aim to fill the gap in understanding and use of such systems.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Researchers, graduate students , postdocs working in the area of computational science.PRE-REQUISITES: Basic course on programming and applied mathematicsINDUSTRY SUPPORT:The industries in which this would useful for is aerospace, automotive, defence, chemical , electrical, materials, biomedical and nuclear industries which employ simulation technologies.
