Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of python and C++ is required

In particular I suggest to get familiar with Jupyter notebooks, numpy and pandas before the course starts. No expert knowledge is required, but doing a couple of tutorials on these topics (easily found on the web) is highly recommended.

Course objectives

Data science is one of the fastest growing fields of information technology, with wide applications in key sectors such as research, industry, public administration. The course will cover the definition of big data and the basic techniques to store, handle and process them. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms will be briefly introduced. We will focus on the technical implementation of different ML algorithms, focusing on the parallelisation aspects and the deployment on distributed resources and different architectures (CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs). A basic introduction to the current computer architecture will be given, with a focus on parallel computing paradigms aimed at the exploitation of the full potential of parallel architectures. An overview of the fundamental OpenMP and MPI coding patterns is covered during hands-on sessions.
