| Aim: To enable the students to work with large-scale problems in mathematical modelling and their implementation on high-performance computers. | 
| Contents: Introduction to high-performance computers (work-stations, vector and parallel computers) emphasizing those aspects that are important in connection with numerical computations on lage data sets. Case-studies in scientific computing, illustrating the relations between mathematical modelling, algorithm development, and computer implementation for large-scale problems: e.g. image deblurring by means of the conjugate gradient algorithm; solution of Poisson problems by means of the multigrid method; parallel programming with MPI; automatic differentiation. |
