High Performance Computing (M.Sc. / P.Grad.Dip.)

The M.Sc. in High-Performance Computing is a one year full-time programme run by the School of Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin. The degree provides practical training in the emerging field of high-performance technical computing, which has applications in scientific simulation and mathematical modelling of systems in areas ranging from telecommunications to financial markets.

The aim of the course is to train students in practical applications of high-performance technical computing in industry, finance and research. During your year in Trinity, you will develop the expertise to make use of a large number of computer processing cores and use them to solve large numerical problems quickly, precisely and reliably. The course presents the practical mathematical skills needed to translate descriptions of complex systems into a form the computer can manipulate and solve efficiently.

The programme is taught in close collaboration with Research IT (previously The Trinity Centre for High Performance Computing) and the Schools of Physics and Chemistry. It has close links to the IITAC interdisciplinary research project in computational science.
