Programming and Parallel Scientific Computing
Syllabus
The course provides an introduction to C++ programming and algorithms with a focus on scientific computing using Cimlib_CFD. An overview of the C++ language is provided: specification, arithmetics, memory management, object-oriented design for component-based software, and advanced topics using templates. Distributed and shared-memory parallel computing are then approached with exercises related to numerical methods for PDEs.
