Advanced Scientific Computing I and II

Course Description

AMSC/CMSC 663-664 is a two-semester project course in which each student will identify and carry out a scientific computing project with a focus on:

• Understanding of scientific computing algorithms related to the project.
• Code development, which could include
• Modularity, portability, memory management
• Post-processing, restarting, and writing to databases
• Interactivity and effective scientific visualization
• Proper documentation, version management tools, and accessibility
• Debugging and profiling tools
• Validation, verification, and unit testing.

Each project must be focused on computing and involve the development of high-quality computer code implementing contemporary or original numerical techniques.
Each project is for academic use only. Data used in each project must be publicly available.
