Présentation
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

Skills
  • Exploiter efficacement des architectures haute performance.

  • Overall organisation

    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.

    Career prospects

    Les débouchés visés par le parcours-type sont :
    -Les laboratoires de recherche appliquée et fondamentale (ingénieur de recherche, doctorant)
    -Les milieux industriels concernés par les problématiques liés à la haute performance tels que les constructeurs de systèmes (informatiques, mécanique, automobile …) (ingénieur de recherche, ingénieur d'étude)
    -Les sociétés de conseils (ingénieur d'étude, ingénieur de recherche)

    Course Prerequisites

    The M2 program is primarily intended for students coming from the M1 CHPS program. It is also open to students from scientific M1 programs and engineering schools who have acquired skills similar to those of students from the M1 CHPS program: parallel computing (architecture, algorithms, and parallel programming, etc.), applied mathematics (linear algebra, analysis, numerical methods, etc.).

    Rythme de la formation
    Un stage sur le deuxième semestre dans la thématique HPC est à effectuer sur une durée de 5 à 6 mois.
    Internships and supervised projects

    An internship on the topic of HPC is to be completed during the second semester over a period of 5 to 6 months. Mini-projects may be included in certain course units.

    Transfer paths

    Pas de passerelle prévue vers une autre formation.

    Méthodes mobilisées
    Plusieurs outils pédagogiques sont mobilisés : cours magistraux, travaux dirigés et pratiques, mini-projets notamment en programmation parallèle sur supercalculateurs, ainsi que des études d'articles scientifiques avec rapports et presentations orales.
    Post-graduate profile

    Ingénieur/chercheur travaillant à l'interface de la simulation, du développement de code sur architectures parallèles et de l'analyse de performance.
