Supercomputing – Online Computing Course
Discover how supercomputers work and the real-life scientific breakthroughs made possible by today’s computer simulations in this online computing course.
Who is the course for?
This course is designed for anyone interested in leading-edge computing technology, supercomputers or the role that computer simulation takes in modern science and engineering.
All of the technical aspects will be covered at a conceptual level and there is no requirement to be able to write computer programs. However, anyone with existing programming experience will learn how programming modern supercomputers differs from programming a home PC.
What topics will you cover?
Supercomputers: introducing supercomputing terminology and some of the largest machines in the world
Parallel computers: how they are built from hundreds of thousands of CPUs, each similar to those in a desktop PC
Parallel computing: using parallel processing to harness the power of all of those CPUs for a single calculation
Computer simulation: how we can perform virtual experiments to make real-life predictions
Case studies: how supercomputing is making scientific breakthroughs that were never possible before
