CPS 5320 (25793), Advanced Scientific Computing

MW 12:00-1:20

Initially on-line, but the final exam, and beginning Feb 17 other class meetings, will be on campus (LART 306)

On campus classes (NOT REQUIRED, you can continue on line) currently planned on days homework is due (Feb 17, 24, March 8, 22, 24, 31, April 7...).

Instructor: Granville Sewell (sewell@utep.edu)

Office hours (beginning Feb 17): 11:00-11:50 before on-campus classes, Bell Hall 200, 747-6762

Prerequisite: CPS 5310

There is one required text:

"Solving Partial Differential Equation Applications with PDE2D," Granville Sewell, John Wiley & Sons, 2018

The problems from this book involve using PDE2D, which will be made available to you. Here is information on running PDE2D on the HPC computer.

The last 2 problem sets involve parallelizing Fortran 90 linear algebra codes using MPI, and are taken from Chapter 6 of "Computational Methods of Linear Algebra, 3rd Edition," Granville Sewell, World Scientific Publishing Company, 2014. However, this is not a required text, you will be given the needed pages.

Here is information on running Fortran90/MPI programs on the HPC computer. And here is an example MPI program with output.

Grades

80% based on homework
For PDE2D and MPI projects, send me your Fortran programs THROUGH BLACKBOARD, I will re-run them and see the output.
Please work INDEPENDENTLY. If you have questions, ask me, not other students.
