The course discusses programming techniques required to efficiently utilise high performance computing in a PhD-project in computational science and engineering. The course content includes developing modularised software in Fortran 95 and the scripting language Python. You will be taught how to conduct an object-oriented analysis of common problems in science and engineering. Parallel programming will be another focus point of the course. We will discuss shared memory and distributed memory programming. The course will introduce the application interfaces of OpenMP and MPI as well as the concepts behind these.
