Description

The purpose of this proposed seminar is to introduce participants to High Performance Computing technology, so that upon completion they may tackle simple performance tuning problems on their own.;;High Performance Computing is an essential part of today's research; through process simulation, and data mining one may thus explore phenomena that aren't visible or measurable, can't be reproduced, or can't be scaled to reasonable size.;;In this series of lectures we will provide a brief introduction to (a) system architecture concepts, (b) serial optimization techniques, and (c) shared memory parallelization.;
