The objective of this  course is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge
in parallel numerical algorithms, especially in the context of grid computing
and with the specificity of asynchronism.      Topics will include:

1. General notions on sequential iterative algorithms and their applications to numerical problems.
2. Parallel synchronous iterative algorithms for numerical computation both  in linear and nonlinear cases.
3. Asynchronous  versions of  parallel iterative algorithms.
4. Applications.

Methods:

• Final oral exam

Course work will  include literature research and presentation in related topics. In the final oral presentation  the student must demonstrate the ability to approach a circumscribed research problem, and organise an effective exposition of theretical and computational results.
