Obsolete Reasons for Introduction
The recent Federal Government initiatives in high performance computing saw the establishment of the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) and its Victorian arm (VPAC). Monash University is founding member of and a substantial contributor to VPAC. APAC/VPAC aims not only to provide hardware support but also educational and training to the scientific community, and to raise the profile of high performance computing within the Australian business community.Monash now proposes to position itself as a major provider of education and training for the APAC project and the wider scientific and technical community in Victoria. This proposed unit provides an integral part of a Graduate Certificate in Computational Science to be offered jointly by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology.This unit provides the foundations for the graduate certificate. Students will learn scientific computing concepts, languages, tools and libraries and exercise them to develop their own parallel project.The subsequent units in the Graduate Certificate of Computational Science require knowledge of this unit, will build on it and strengthen the understanding further.
