Certificate of Achievement
Venkata Mukund Kashyap Yedunuthala
has completed the following course:
Fortran for Scientific Computing
Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) and Vlaams Supercomputer Centre
The online course explored a broad overview of the Fortran programming language. Topics included basic syntax, data types, I/O, functions subroutines, object programming, best practices for writing maintainable code and starting points for debugging and profiling. Modern hardware and how to exploit it for best performance was emphasized combined with an overview of parallel programming paradigms, specific libraries for scientific computing and interoperability with C/C++ and Python.
