Description

The goal of the lecture is to present the overarching strategy of the full scientific computing process that include the mathematical formulation of a problem, the numerical algorithm with appropriate data structures and the implementation on modern computer architectures. We will discuss distributed computing for different classes of algorithms. Examples are techniques based on domain decomposition and the effect of causality on parallel algorithms.
