Fall Semester 2011
Large Scale Computing Infrastructures
This class provides an introductory overview on large scale computing infrastructures; the main focus is on how scientific "use cases" can be enabled on such systems, what are the main technical challenges that have to be addressed, and what are the currently available solutions.
The lectures survey the current approaches in large scale computing infrastructure in both academic and industrial environments. The national grid computing infrastructure SMSCG is used as a reference model as well as for the practical activities.
This is class MINF4526 in the fall semester 2011 lectures at UZH.
