Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Know and understand selected numerical high performance algorithms for large and very large problems. The focus is on numerical linear algebra problems. Understand the interdependencies between problem data, algorithm, implementation of the algorithm, hardware, performance and accuracy. Understand basic techniques for analysis, implementation and optimization of numerical high performance algorithms.

Assessment and permitted materials

Four homework exercises (with theoretical and practical components - implementation, experimentation, analysis) and one individual project in the second half of the semester (involving literature research, implementation, experimentation, analysis), whose results have to be presented in class and documented in written form (project report) until the end of the semester.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The maximum possible score is 65 points (10 per homework exercise, 10 for the project presentation, 15 for the project report). At least half of this (32.5 points) is required for passing the course. Bonus points will be awarded for outstanding participation in class (e.g., excellent presentation of own homework solutions in class).
