Programa de Estudos

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

I have been working with supercomputers for over 25 years, and teaching people how to use them for almost as long. I joined EPCC after doing research in computational theoretical physics.

Editor

A Universidade de Edimburgo é uma universidade britânica, fundada em 1583 durante um período de rápido desenvolvimento da cidade de Edimburgo. É considerada uma das universidades mais prestigiadas do mundo.

Tendo contado entre os seus estudantes os inventores da Revolução Industrial, tem mais estudantes do que qualquer outra universidade escocesa e é uma das maiores universidades do Reino Unido.

Plataforma

FutureLearn est une plate-forme d'apprentissage proposant des formations en ligne ouvertes à tous (MOOC)

Fondée en Décembre 2012, la société est entièrement détenue par l'Open University à Milton Keynes, en Angleterre.

Elle est la 1ère plateforme offrant des MOOC au Royaume-Uni, avec à son actif plus d'une cinquantaine d'universités partenaires provenant du Royaume Uni mais aussi du reste du monde.

FutureLearn se différencie également par des partenariats avec des entités non-universitaires comme le British Museum, le British Council, la British Library et la national Film and Television School.
