Overview

Key facts

With processor chips now having multi-cores and turning into multiprocessors, all computing is turning into high-performance computing. This program addresses the professional preparedness needs arising from these current transformative developments and draws upon our advanced research engagements and our cutting-edge facilities in high-performance computing.

The objective of the High-Performance Computing program at George Washington University is to provide a mechanism for interdisciplinary computational engineers and scientists, as well as for computer engineers and scientists, to acquire up-to-date knowledge in the advances of computer systems. The certificate in High-Performance Computing program addresses the rapid growth and applications of multicore processors, parallel computers, hardware accelerators, and networked computing as a tool for engineering and scientific modeling.

It is carefully tailored to provide students with the necessary knowledge in the basic aspects of high performance computing, including programming, performance, architectures, systems, and applications. This certificate program offers an alternative to a Master of Science degree (M.S.) program, but it may also serve as a path towards the M.S. and/or doctoral degree(s).
