AMSC 663-664 Catalog Descriptions

AMSC 663, Advanced Scientific Computing I (3 credits):
In the sequence AMSC 663-664 students work on a year-long individual project to develop software for a scientific task in a high perfomance computing environment. Lectures will be given on available computational environments, code development, implementation of parallel algorithms.

AMSC 664, Advanced Scientific Computing II (3 credits):
In the sequence AMSC 663-664 students work on a year-long individual project to develop software for a scientific task in a high perfomance computing environment. Lectures will be given on code development and validation, parallel algorithms for partial differential equations, nonlinear systems, and optimization.


Details and Syllabi

Advanced Scientific Computing I (ASC I)

In this course topics covered in SC I, SC II, and COPSC are applied in the context of a year-long project to develop software designed to carry out a computational scientific task in a high performance computing environment. In this term the project includes a written and oral proposal within one month, and a written and oral progress report at the end of the term.

Prerequisites and Co-requisite

Syllabus


Advanced Scientific Computing II (ASC II)

This course is a continuation of ASC I. This course focuses on issues of code development and validation relevant to large scientific computing projects on high performance computing systems. In this term the project includes a seminar lecture and a written final report.
