GLHPC - Introduction

This course is intended for M1 Calcul Haute Performance et simulation (M1CHPS) students as a crash course for software engineering targetting High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence applications.

This course will cover programming basics in C and shell, software engineering best practices, and will gradually move on to more complex notions such as parallelism, performance profiling, experimental design, and the implementation of a Neural Network inference engince from scratch.

Advanced optional tasks

This course starts from the basics as some of the students come from applied maths and physics backgrounds. For those of you, who already have a good programming background, we have included optional advanced tasks in each lab to deepen your knowledge. You are not required to do them, but you are strongly encouraged.
