P: 476. Fall. Architecture of supercomputers: pipelined, vector, SIMD,
MIMD; implications for algorithm and  program design; vectorization,
parallelization, loop restructuring, nonstandard language features.
Splitting computation between supercomputers and workstations;
interactive analyses of remote machines'  output. Numerical methods for
large-scale problems: examples from continuum mechanics, graphical
visualization, statistical computing. A project is required.
