High Performance Computing (HPC) is the use of powerful processors, networks and parallel supercomputers to tackle problems that are very computationally or data-intensive.Our programmes aim to provide you with in-demand skills and knowledge of the techniques and technologies underpinning parallelism and HPC.You will learn how to write code that’s not just correct, but maintainable, efficient and scalable to the world’s most powerful supercomputers.EPCC's postgraduate programmes give students from across all areas of science and engineering the skills required to become experienced practitioners, researchers, and leaders across HPC, computational and data science, and software engineering. Building on our decades of experience delivering national HPC training, these programmes are based in a practical and 'hands-on' approach to learning via application of techniques and offer first hand experience using our own supercomputing facilities.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a relevant subject such as computer science and informatics, physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, chemistry and geosciences.
You must be an experienced and competent programmer in at least one of C, C++, Python, Fortran, or Java and should be familiar with mathematical concepts such as algebra, linear algebra and probability and statistics. Your application should demonstrate your programming ability both through your transcript (or submitted examples of code) and through explanation within the ""Relevant Knowledge/Training"" field of the application.
We will also consider your application if you don't have formal programming training (e.g. if you are primarily self-taught), or if you have a 2:2 honours degree with high marks in computational courses and/or additional relevant work experience. Your application should clearly demonstrate your relevant experience.
