Brief Course Description
Numerical algorithms for parallel computers: parallel algorithms in numerical linear algebra (dense and sparse solvers for linear systems and the algebraic eigenvalue problem), numerical handling of ordinary and partial differential equations, and numerical optimization techniques.
Assignments
Course organization
Virtual and physical participation for all components the course will be made possible. Late enrollment/registration is also possible (immediate participation is welcome if registration is anticpated).
Grading: 36% project, 28% homework, 18% midterm, 18% final, may be subject to upwards curve
Projects: Submit initial proposal by Oct 20, revisions may be requested and will be due Oct 29. Students will have the option of preparing a final report or a poster presentation. Projects related to ongoing investigations or overlapping with other courses are encouraged, so long as they have some component related to this course.
Slides and notes are based on the Fall 2015 slides by Michael T. Heath. Resources relevant to the course are available also on the old course webpage by Prof. Heath. See also the previous course webpage.
