Course dates To be announced. Back to top Performance Optimisation To gain the maximum benefit from expensive High Performance Computing facilities, it is essential that codes run as efficiently as possible on them. A microchip Participants will learn how to improve the performance of their codes on RISC-based systems, such as the Universities new Sun HPC facility. The course will be based on a number of practical examples, and participants will have the opportunity to discuss optimising their own codes. Who should attend These courses are aimed at users who are competent programmers in either C or Fortran, and who have a problem which may benefit from the application of high performance computing.

Back to top Scientific Visualisation Visualisation has become increasingly important to High Performance Computing as computer simulations of real life systems produce increasingly large quantities of output data which need to be understood. It is extremely difficult to read and understand a file of even a few Mbytes in length. As the volume of data increases, the visual representation of data quickly becomes the most practical method of understanding the data. The aim of this course is to provide a practical introduction to visualisation, and to provide the student with sufficient information to produce visualisations such as the one shown below. Course dates This course will run once each term.
