PPSC 2023F

Programming and Parallel Scientific Computing

Syllabus

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