Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We discuss software tools and libraries for scientific computing including their foundational numerical algorithms. The students get familiar with using numerical libraries for sequential and parallel scientific applications like BLAS, LAPACK, PLASMA, GSL, PETSc, and MPFR. Moreover, tools for testing, debugging, and benchmarking scientific software are used. Topics include, but are not limited to, dense linear algebra, sparse linear algebra, and differential equations.

The students are expected to have good general programming skills, basic familiarity with programming in C, and experience in using GNU/Linux and Bash. The course builds upon the contents of the modules "Introduction to Numerical Computing" (NUM) and "Combinatorial and Numerical Algorithms" (CNA).

Assessment and permitted materials

Weekly submissions and presentations of solutions to homework exercises, a 90-minutes midterm exam, and a 90-minutes final exam.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

At least 50% of the homework points and 50% of the exam points have to be achieved for passing the course. Presence is mandatory during the entire course.

Examination topics

All topics of the lectures and homework exercises.

Reading list

The lectures are accompanied by slides, which point to additional relevant literature.
