Seminar "High Performance Computing"
Seminar "High Performance Computing"
Brief description
Developing fast and efficient programs requires knowledge of special software techniques and current systems that are not needed for developing software with other goals. In the seminar "High Performance Computing" the participants will get to know different current techniques in this area and present them in a lecture. For example, the disadvantages of object-oriented programming with regard to performance will be discussed.
In the seminar, participants will practise in particular
- working with scientific, English-language texts
- familiarization with a previously unknown scientific field
- various presentation and teaching methods
Participants can suggest their own topics. To do so, please send an e-mail to Jens Breitbart (jbreitbart@uni-kassel.de) at least one week before the preliminary meeting, stating the topic and literature.
Participants
Students from the 5th semester of computer science.
Course requirements
Basic knowledge of parallel programming is recommended, but not mandatory.
Techniques for presentation and elaboration
