PIRE: Graduate Education and Research in Petascale Many Body Methods for Complex
Correlated Systems: A Collaboration with Partners in Germany and Switzerland
PIRE Courses:
Spring 2008:
Karen Tomko (Ohio Supercomputer Center)
and Juana Moreno (Louisiana State University)
This is a 3-credit graduate course. It focuses on high performance
computing (HPC) and the techniques used in designing and implementing
computationally intensive applications on HPC systems. High performance
systems including traditional parallel supercomputers, Linux clusters,
and hardware accelerators (such as GPUs and FPGAs) will be discussed.
The course will focus on parallelization and memory access optimization
for computationally intensive applications in science and engineering.

Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Mark Jarrell (Louisiana State University)
This is an advanced graduate course,
covering many-body theory, diagrammatic perturbation theory, bosonization,
path integrals, etc. In addition, several many-body numerical methods are
derived and used in class projects, including Dynamical Mean Field
Approximation, Dynamical Cluster Approximation, renormalization group, etc.
