Extreme Computing

Lectures

Mondays and Thursdays 17:10-18:00.

The course is organised in multiple topics; you see an approximate order below. It may be the case that we go through a single topic per lecture, or we may devote more than one lectures to a single topic. We will try to stick to this plan, but it is OK if we deviate a bit. Lectures may be revised before they are delivered.
