Education facts
Code: MMA621
Modern computers can perform several billion arithmetic operations per second, but it is often difficult to get close to this top speed. An important part of the course is code optimization, where you will learn to write fast programs in Fortran, C and Matlab. To get even higher performance, you will write parallel programs using OpenMP (threads) and MPI (process-based). Some Unix and something about hardware are also included. The focus is on numerical calculations, but the knowledge can be applied to most programming problems.
Entry requirements
Knowledge equivalent to 90 credits, including the courses MMG300 Multivariable Analysis and MMG410 Numerical Analysis, as well as a basic course in computer programming.
Education offerings
Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
