Learning Objectives
The aim of this course is to provide the student with knowledge of
Parallel Computing and the ability to analyze theoretical properties and
design mathematical software for high-performance computation.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, the student should:
- have profound knowledge and understanding of the most relevant
numerical methods for numerical computation and the design of accurate
and highly performant mathematical software;
- demonstrate skills in choosing the most suitable numerical method to
be implemented depending on the problem to be solved. Furthermore,
they should demonstrate ability in developing mathematical software and
in providing its theoretical analysis;
- demonstrate the ability to read and understand other texts on related
topics. - Content:
