ABSTRACT

The use of advanced numerical modeling and simulation techniques is nowadays essential to characterized the behavior and response of complex material and structures. However, classical computing architectures are useless when there is the need of obtaining accurate results in a reasonable computational time in case of multi-functional/multi-physics analysis. This course aims at providing the fundamentals of High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies and infrastructures and of programming techniques for HPC architectures. Applicative examples based on parallel SW programs will complement the theoretical parts.

 

COURSE CONTENT

  • Introduction to parallel computing
  • Parallel algorithms and parallel models of computation
  • Introduction to HPC architectures
  • Performance evaluation of parallel programs: measuring and understanding speedup and efficiency

 

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

The teaching activity includes theoretical lessons and SW exercises. The exam consists of a written test with multiple-choice questions on the topics of the course.

Registration Procedure for UniTN Students

Please contact the Student Support Office of your Department/Centre/School to include the course in your study plan.

Registration Procedure for EXTERNAL Students

Step 1: Register a "guest" type account (@guest.unitn.it)

  • Should you still not have a UniTN account, you have to register and log in with your SPID identity or CIE (electronic ID card). If you cannot use SPID or CIE, please create your own UniTN account.

Step 2: Enroll to a Single UniTN Course

  • Complete the online application through the dedicated webpage.
    In the application form (Section "Teaching Activities") put the following information:
    • Name of single class/teaching activity: High-Performance Computing (HPC) for Multi-Functional Metamaterials and Metastructures
    • Code of single class/teaching activity: M220_34
    • Degree course to which the teaching activity is associated: [M220] Master in Multifunctional Metamaterials and Metastructures
  • Once received the outcome of the application (1-3 days), login into ESSE3 with your "guest" account user-name and password. Then, pay the bulletin you find in Administrative Office – Payments.
