Тhе MSc programme Nuclear and Particle Physics  aims to prepare highly qualified specialists in the field of nuclear physics, particle physics, radiation physics.

The course provides basic knowledge in the programming of distributed memory architectures using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. After presenting the basic concepts of high-performance computing and the main areas of their application, the methods for evaluating the efficiency and characteristics of sequential and parallel computing are considered. The following is a presentation of the basics of the MPI standard and its application for creating portable parallel programs. Some profiling and adjustment techniques are also discussed.
