Homework
- Due January 31, 2007
- Write a one page summary of a computational project you
want to do using High Performance Computing. This project can
be based on new or existing codes where you need more runs,
higher resolution, or greater speed..
Explain the basic problem and why it is
important, what runs you
need to have completed, an estimate of the CPU time
and disk space needed for the runs, and why HPC is needed
to solve it. The purpose of this paper is to give you
a chance to state what types of problems you are interested
in, and may serve to help guide the content of the course
and the direction of future projects within the class.
It also will start you thinking about concrete problem
instead of just abstract concepts about computing.
- Review at least one of the textbooks recommended in the
class.
- Find and read at least one paper related to HPC.
This could be a review of the field or current trends,
or a paper about optimizing code for parallel machines.
