DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nThis course will give you the tools and skills n
 eeded for writing high performing code for scientific computing. It focuse
 s on techniques that enable you to extract maximum performance from a sing
 le node in a modern supercomputer or cluster\, which provides the foundati
 on for good performance even for codes running on multiple nodes.\n\nTopic
 s include code optimization for x86 platforms (SIMD vectorization\, caches
 \, efficient datamovement) and efficient code parallelization using OpenMP
  threading. Advanced aspects of threading and optimization\, such as new f
 eatures of OpenMP 4.5\, will also be covered during the course.\n\nDuring 
 the course there is also an opportunity to analyze and optimize your code\
 , and get advice from the lecturers on how to improve the performance in y
 our code.\n\nLearning outcome\n\nAwareness of modern features of x86 CPUs\
 n	Ability to vectorize computations\n	Ability to use advanced features of 
 OpenMP\n	Ability to increase code performance using OpenMP threading and s
 ingle core optimization techniques  \nPrerequisites\n\nGood knowledge of C
