About High Performance Computing Engineering, MSc - at Politecnico di Milano

High Performance Computing (HPC) Engineering is a highly multidisciplinary programme, which aims at training engineers with a solid preparation in information technologies and computer architectures for supercomputing, in quantum computing and in the mathematical-statistical modelling of complex problems.

HPC applications can be found in nearly every industry handling most data-intensive workloads, thanks to powerful simulation and to the parallelization of the computational load on high-performance hardware that allows to strongly accelerate the analysis of large amounts of data, as well as the execution of increasingly complex and sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms with unmatched speed, precision, and insight.

The main objective of the Study Course is to train graduates able to design, manage and use HPC systems to solve complex problems in different application domains, based on

  • advanced programming techniques and parallel algorithms
  • mathematical-statistical modelling and advanced numerical simulations
  • development of algorithms in the emerging domain of quantum computing
