High-Performance Computation with Python

Motivation

The requirement for extensive and challenging computations is far older than the computing industry. Today, software is a mere means to a specific end, it needs to be newly developed or adapted in countless places in order to achieve the special goals of the users and to run their specific calculations efficiently. Nothing is of more avail to this need than a programming language that is easy for users to learn and that enables them to actively follow and form the realisation of their requirements.

Python is this programming language. It is easy to learn, to use and to read. The language makes it easy to write maintainable code and to use it as a basis for communication with other people. Moreover, it makes it easy to optimise and specialise this code in order to use it for challenging and time critical computations. This is the main subject of this course.

Target Audience

This course targets medium level Python programmers who would like to have it both: fast program execution and fast development. Participants should have solid Python knowledge. Alternatively, you can attend the course Python for Programmers (one is offered just the week before June 5 - 7, 2012) to be able to take full advantage of this course.

The course provides expert knowledge for Python in HPC for software developers, engineers, researchers and scientists in many fields who need all the speed they can get from a computer but at the same time would like to use a flexible and elegant programming language that is rated as one of the most productive of the popular language in use today.
