CSE Seminars, The Goals
The Scientific Computing Seminar is an interdisciplinary, student-oriented event which serves as a venue for dissemination of information about various aspects of scientific computing such as:
- applications of scientific computing to various disciplines, including some non-traditional ones,
- technical aspects of high-performance computing,
- tutorials concerning practical aspects of computing (hardware/software issues, code development, parallelization, debugging, etc.).
The selection of topics highlights both the breadth and depth of research in scientific computing at McMaster.
