This course introduces
advanced computational techniques for the solution
of research problems in physics. The data parallel
paradigm is illustrated through highly computationally
intensive applications. All of the techniques
are presented in the context of specific projects.
For some problems, students are asked to play
the role of application scientists, working
with the supercomputer in an interactive manner
to perform a variety of numerical experiments.
For other problems, students are required to
take an active part in designing the code that
will be used for the solution. Emphasis in all
cases will be on the importance that the proper
formulation of a problem plays for its ultimate
computational solution.
