High performance computing for astrophysics and cosmology  

Description

The students will acquire the basic concepts of algorithm parallelisation and the practical skills to implement a parallel code using different parallelisation strategies. The methods to test the computational efficiency of a parallel algorithm and to assess its performance in terms of scaling, work load, and memory consumption will be presented. Furthermore, the students will learn the basic techniques for handling, monitoring, and exploiting the use of shared computational architectures ranging from small computer clusters to large supercomputing facilities. The laboratory part of the course will focus on some selected applications of these methods to standard astrophysical and cosmological problems
