Native organizations units: No data
General information:
 
Category Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field Teorijska i primenjena matematika
Interdisciplinary Yes
ECTS 13
Educational goal:

Acquiring fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge about parallel computing and taking part in scientific research.

Educational outcome:

Knowledge about basic notions and methods of parallel computing. Participating in research work in certain areas which use parallel computing, chosen by students who work with scientists from the country and abroad.

Course content:

Parallel computation models. Parallel systems with shared memory. Parallel systems based on message passing. Programming languages for parallel computing. MPI (Message Passing Interface) Standard. Parallel algorithm realization for numerical and symbolic problem solving. Beowulf cluster programming.

Teaching methods:

The presentation of the theoretical part of the material during the lecture classes is followed by the corresponding examples which contribute to the better understanding of the subject matter. The students independently study the suggested literature which they later discuss with the lecturers at the consultation classes. Through research and study work the student will, on the bases of scientific journals and other relevant literature that has been studied independently, develop further understanding of the material covered in lectures. Working with the course teacher the student develops the ability to independently work on a scientific paper.
