What it covers

This unit aims to provide a comprehensive overview of high-performance computing (HPC) principles and their applications in scientific research and industry. The course will develop students' understanding of what supercomputers are, how they function, and their crucial role in solving complex, large-scale problems. Emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding and practical application, preparing students for industry roles and advanced research that increasingly rely on HPC. This unit is particularly relevant in addressing Australia's significant skills gap in HPC and aims to equip students with foundational knowledge for this rapidly evolving field.
