Overordnede kursusmål
See 12915 Principles of Programming. This course extends 12915 by:
• adding the study of version control systems
• introducing the use of the High Performace Computing (HPC)
infrastructure at DTU, and
• requiring the student to implement a major programming project
The version control system is git, which the students need to use
to submit their major project.
The introduction to the HPC is provided by the people who maintain
it from DTU Compute.
The major project can be anything that the student wishes, but must
be approved by a course lecturer so that it satisfies the points
for the course. It is suggested that the student build something
that will directly assist them in their Ph.D research.
Guidance is provided to students for their major programming
assignment. This can from architectural design, to solving small
challenges.
