教学大纲
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
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...
- Describe how the performance of modern supercomputers is measured and achieved
- Explain why they are built from thousands of simple processors
- Compare the architectures of shared-memory and distributed-memory computers
- Describe the shared-variables and message-passing programming models
- Summarise why computer simulation is a fundamental component of modern scientific discovery
- Investigate simple problems and look for opportunities for parallel processing
- Discuss the limitations of parallel computing
- Identify examples of scientific areas where computer simulation is used

平台
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.
