The M2 in High Performance Computing aims to train senior executives capable of taking advantage of major developments in HPC in both industrial and academic research environments. The program combines mathematics and computer science with an introduction to various fields of application: mechanics, finance, medicine/pharmacy, etc.
The program consists of one academic semester and one practical semester (internship). The academic semester itself consists of a core curriculum in HPC, followed by a specialization track focused on High Performance Computing.
Information
Skills
Effectively leverage high-performance architectures.
Objectives
High-performance computing has become widespread due to advances in integrated circuits and modeling techniques, which have opened up a wide range of applications. More recently, advances in artificial intelligence have enabled the development of new high-performance data analytics techniques that closely combine AI and HPC. Finally, autonomous vehicles and, more generally, all embedded systems are renewing interest in performance optimization within critical systems. The purpose of this program is to provide experts in the design and use of HPC technologies at various levels: hardware, software, and systems
