Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the subject is to introduce students first with the terminology of computer architecture related to HPC systems. Then, students will be introduced to architectures of up-to-date computers, processors, accelerators, and HPC, due to which they will acquire knowledge essential for optimal exploitation of HPC systems and parallel applications development.
Teaching methods
Lectures
Individual consultations
Summary
The course consists of selected chapters on the architecture of parallel computers. Students will become familiar with the classification of parallel architectures and taxonomy of parallel computers. The basic concepts of HPC systems building blocks (processors, vector units, HPC network, memory systems, etc.) will be presented. Then, the description of advanced technologies used in the currently most powerful computers worldwide, such as heterogeneous accelerators or multi-core processors, will follow.
Compulsory literature:
Recommended literature:
1. K. Hwang, Advanced Computer Architecture, McGraw-Hill: 1993
