This is the course plan for the first semester of the academic year 2024/2025. To check whether the course is being run this semester, go to the Virtual Campus section More UOC / The University / Programmes of study section on Campus. Once teaching starts, you'll be able to find it in the classroom. The course plan may be subject to change. | |||||
In this subject inside the Máster of Computational Engineering, will try to deepen in the field of the High Performance Computation (HPC), seeing the different possibilities that offers us this field, the different levels of paradigms of programming, parallel and distributed applications, and the different hardware/software architectural solutions, that allow us work in this field (supercomputing, distributed systems, or new architectures like the GPUs). |
|||||
In this course, the main language to used is english, e.g. the reference materials to be used and the activities. Also in different course subjects we will use some current articles on the field of high performance computing, which are written in English.

In this couse we plan to obtain the tools you will need to achieve the following objectives: 1. Understand the motivations behind high performance computing and parallelism. 2. Understand the fundamentals of parallelism, parallel architectures, and programming models, including those related to shared-memory systems and distributed-memory systems. 3. Learn about the fundamental concepts for programming GPU devices using graphic computing programming models. 4. Understand the fundamentals related to management systems for high performance systems and their components, planning policies, and performance and analysis for high performance systems. 5. Understand the fundamentals and technologies related to distributed computing as well as the paradigms of grid and cloud computing, including their relationship with high performance computing. 6. Understand the fundamentals, characteristics, and main lines of research related to green computing and energy efficiency, as well as to sustainable computing and sustainability. 7. Understand the current challenges facing high performance computing. |

The assessment process is based on students' own work and the assumption that this work is original and has been carried out by them. In assessment activities, the following irregular behaviours, among others, may have serious academic and disciplinary consequences: someone else being involved in carrying out the student's assessment test or activity, or the work being not entirely original; copying another's work or committing plagiarism; attempting to cheat to obtain better academic results; collaborating in, covering up or encouraging copying; or using unauthorized material, software or devices during assessment. If students are caught engaging in any of these irregular behaviours, they may receive a fail mark (D/0) for the assessable activities set out in the course plan (including the final tests) or in the final mark for the course. This could be because they have used unauthorized materials, software or devices (e.g. social networking sites or internet search engines) during the tests, because they have copied text fragments from an external source (internet, notes, books, articles, other student's projects or activities, etc.) without correctly citing the source, or because they have engaged in any other irregular conduct. In accordance with the UOC's academic regulations , irregular conduct during assessment, besides leading to a failing mark for the course, may be grounds for disciplinary proceedings and, where appropriate, the corresponding punishment, as established in the UOC's coexistence regulations. In its assessment process, the UOC reserves the right to:
