Nowadays, parallel scientific computing is an essential tool for academia and industry to solve a large range of engineering applications. This course deals with the efficient parallel solution of structured and unstructured problems (to solve e.g. PDE problems discretized with finite differences or finite elements). In particular, we focus on parallel computing with distributed memory. The theoretical part of this course is composed of two topics: parallel algorithms for solving structured and unstructured mathematical problems; solution of large linear systems (direct/iterative methods, conjugate gradient method, Krylov methods, GMRES, preconditioning, domain decomposition).

This course gives an overview of the simulation of neutral particles transport phenomena. We start by modeling particles transport phenomena using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Then we study how to discretize and solve such equations. Some of the resolution methods will actually be implemented in C++ during hands-on sessions. On a simple model problem, we will thus be able to study the compared merits of Monte-Carlo and deterministic methods. In a last part, we present "real-world" applications of the simulation of neutron transport, mainly from the field of nuclear reactor physics.

This course is only available in French.

Waves that propagate in our environment are both a tool to investigate the world around us (non-destructive testing, radar or telescopes), and a mean to transmit informations (music, radio). In the first part of the course, we will first establish the acoustic equations; We will then describe the use of elementary solutions for the representation of fields. We then establish integral equations. In the second part, we will study the various methods to solve boundary integral equations. In particular, modern algorithms for the fast solution of these systems will be presented.

With the advent of multicore processors (and now many-core processors with several dozens of execution units), expressing parallelism is mandatory to enable high performance on different kinds of applications (scientific computing, big-data...). In this context, this course details multiple parallel programming paradigms to help exploiting such a large number of cores on different target architectures (regular CPUs and GPUs). The course introduces distributed-memory model (MPI), shared-memory model (OpenMP) and heterogeneous model (CUDA). All these approaches would allow leveraging the performance of differents computers (from small servers to large supercomputers listed in Top500).

The aim of this course is to give a vision of algorithms and their implementations in modern machine learning libraries on neural networks. In particular, the use of specific hardware, such as graphics cards, to improve performance is at the heart of these libraries. It is important to understand how the calculations are shared between the hardware and the CPU.

We have entered the Artificial Intelligence Era. The explosion of available data in a wide range of application domains give rise to new challenges and opportunities in a plethora of disciplines – ranging from science and engineering to business and society in general. A major challenge is how to take advantage of the unprecedented scale of data, in order to acquire further insights and knowledge for improving the quality of the offered services, and this is where Machine and Deep Learning comes in capitalizing on techniques and methodologies from data exploration (statistical profiling, visualization) aiming at identifying patterns, correlations, groupings, modeling and doing predictions. In the last years Deep learning is becoming a very important element for solving large scale prediction problems.

Syllabus of the course:

• General Introduction to Machine Learning
• Supervised Learning
• Unsupervised Learning
• Advanced Machine Learning Concepts
• Kernels
• Neural Networks
• Deep Learning I
• Deep Learning II
• Machine & Deep Learning for Graphs

We will explain the enduring concepts underlying all computer systems, and show the concrete ways that these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of any application program.

This course serves as an introduction to the students who go on to implement systems hardware and software. But this course also pushes students towards becoming the rare programmers who know how things work and how to fix them when they break.

This course will cover most of the key interfaces between user programs and the bare hardware, including:

• The representation and manipulation of information
• Machine-level representation of programs
• Processor architecture
• The memory hierarchy
• Exceptional Control Flow
• Virtual memory

This course is an introduction to compilation. It explains the techniques and tools used in the different phases of a compiler, up to the production of optimized assembler code. A compiler for a fragment of the C language to the x86-64 assembler is realized in TD.

Distributed systems are composed of several computational units, classically called processes, that run concurrently and independently, without any central control. Additional difficulties are introduced by asynchrony (processes and channels operate at different speeds) and by limited local knowledge (each process has only a local view of the system and has a limited amount of information). Distributed algorithms are algorithms designed to run in this quite challenging setting. They arise in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, internet, peer-to-peer computing, blockchain technology...

This course aims at giving a comprehensive introduction to the field of distributed algorithms. A collection of significant algorithms will be presented for asynchronous networked systems, with a particular emphasis on their correctness proofs. Algorithms will be analyzed according to various measures of interest (eg., time and space complexities, communication costs). We will also present some "negative" results, i.e., impossibility theorems and lower bounds as they play a useful role for a system designer to determine what problems are solvable and at what cost.

This course covers the design principles and algorithmic foundation of influential software systems for Big Data Analytics. The course begins with the design of large enterprise data warehouses, Online-Analytic processing, and data mining over data warehouses. The course then examines fundamental architectural changes to scale data processing and analysis to a shared-nothing compute cluster, including parallel databases, MapReduce, column stores, and the support of batch processing, stream processing, iterative algorithms, machine learning, and interactive analytics in this new context.

Machine learning is a scientific discipline that is concerned with the design and development of algorithms that allow computers to learn from data. A major focus of machine learning is to automatically learn complex patterns and to make intelligent decisions based on them.

This course focuses on the methodology underlying supervised and unsupervised learning, with a particular emphasis on the mathematical formulation of algorithms, and the way they can be implemented and used in practice. We will therefore describe some necessary tools from optimization theory, and explain how to use them for machine learning. A glimpse about theoretical guarantees, such as upper bounds on the generalization error, are provided during the last lecture.

The methodology will be the main concern of the lectures while some proofs will be done during the PCs. Practice will be done through a challenge.

Recent developments in neural network approaches (more known now as “deep learning”) have dramatically changed the landscape of several research fields such as image classification, object detection, speech recognition, machine translation, self-driving cars and many more. Due its promise of leveraging large (sometimes even small) amounts of data in an end-to-end manner, i.e. train a model to extract features by itself and to learn from them, deep learning is increasingly appealing to other fields as well: medicine, time series analysis, biology, simulation...

This course is a deep dive into practical details of deep learning architectures, in which we attempt to demystify deep learning and kick start you into using it in your own field of interest. During this course, you will gain a better understanding of the basis of deep learning and get familiar with its applications. We will show how to set up, train, debug and visualize your own neural network. Along the way, we will be providing practical engineering tricks for training or adapting neural networks to new tasks.

By the end of this class, you will have an overview on the deep learning landscape and its applications to traditional fields, but also some ideas for applying it to new ones. You should also be able to train a multi-million parameter deep neural network by yourself. For the implementations we will be using the Pytorch library in Python.
