The objective of the subject is to
 Introduce the basic concepts related to HPC architecture and parallel computing.
 To discuss various computational techniques for studying soft matter systems.
 To understand the methods to extract maximum performance in a multicore, shared memory
execution environment processor.
 To understand Symmetric and Distributed architectures.
 To understand the implementation of large scale parallel programs on tightly coupled parallel
systems using the message passing paradigm.
Course Outcomes:
