Qualification Goals |
Upon completing this module, the students will acquire the basics of parallel programming and high performance scientific computing. |
Content |
The contents of the module include the design and architecture of numerical simulation codes, as well as computer programmes for data analysis. Furthermore, they include practical parts for the implementation of examples on existing HPC architectures in a high level language with different parallelisation models such as e.g. MPI, multi-threading or CUDA. |
Forms of Teaching and Learning |
The module includes 2 SWS worth of lectures, 2 SWS worth of exercises and the self-study. |
Prerequisites for Participation |
Knowledge in sequential computer programming, algorithms and data structures, analysis of functions of one and several variables, linear algebra (vector and matrix calculation), as well as probability calculation and Statistics at the Bachelor's level is required.

Applicability |
In the Computational Modelling and Simulation Master's programme, the module is one of six compulsory elective modules (for students of Computational Life Science: five), of which three must be chosen. This module fulfils the prerequisites for the CMS-EE-SCEE and CMS-EE-REEP modules. |
Prerequisites for the Assignment of Credit Points |
The credit points are awarded if the module examination is passed. If there are more than 10 registered students, the module examination consists of a written examination, with a duration of 90 minutes. If there are 10 or fewer registered students, it consists of an oral examination as an individual examination performance amounting to 30 minutes; this will be announced to the enrolled students at the end of the enrollment period. |
Credit Points and Grades |
This module allows for the earning of 5 credit points. The module grade corresponds to the grade of the examination performance. |
Frequency of Offer |
The module is offered each year during the winter semester. |
Workload |
The workload is a total of 150 hours. |
Duration of Module |
The module takes one semester. |
