Course Overview

The High-Performance Computing course has been designed by industry professionals to provide the students with the most comprehensive and optimized solution on computing. The course has been structured at an advanced level. In the course, the students can learn the basics of computing by practising the various modules. High-Performance Computing benefits the students by providing them with the option of “self-paced” learning. To make the course more approachable the High-Performance Computing fee for all applying students has been kept free. Over the period of four months, the students will thus be guided and taught by industry professionals.

Eligibility Criteria

Education

To apply to the High-Performance Computing online course, the students need to have completed the previous course in “Algorithms and data structure” also known as Georgia Udacity’s Intro to Algorithms or Tech’s CS 3510-B. To apply for the High-Performance Computing training the students need to have programming experience in “high-level” and “low-level” languages like C++ or C. The applicants also need to have experience in using the command line interfaces in *nix environments. (eg- Linux, Unix)
