Academic Courses

Scientific Computing Curriculum

Scientists at the Texas Advanced Computing Center have developed graduate level courses and materials that cover the principles and practices for using advanced computing resources for research and development in both academic and industry careers.

Purpose

There are many computer science classes that provide comprehensive understanding of computer science theory, from algorithms to artificial intelligence. However, classes that prepare students to use advanced computing resources as they are used in computational, applications-driven research and development are relatively rare in university curricula. With the emergence of grid computing technologies and the development of integrated cyberinfrastructure (CI) promising new capabilities for knowledge discovery, classes that provide a solid, practical foundation for using CI in research and development are even more important for both academic and industry careers.
