Multi-Scale Computing Systems

Die Einsatzgebiete von Rechensystemen reichen von eingebetteten Systemen, Personal Mobile Devices, Desktops bis hin zu Server im High-End-Bereich (Warehouse-Scale Computing, massiv-parallele Supercomputer). Eingebettete Systeme sind über das Internet-of-Things (IoT) verbunden oder bilden Cyber-Physikalische Systeme (CPS), beispielsweise in der industriellen Automation.
Mit dem Studienprofil Multi-Scale Computing Systems erwerben die Studierenden die Kompetenzen zu Einsatz, Aufbau, Programmierung, und Entwurf von Rechensystemen, die die Anforderungen einer verbundenen Welt erfüllen.

Computing nowadays starts at the Internet-of-Things (IoT) through embedded computing, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS like industry automation) and high-end servers in massively parallel super-computers. Their constraints and requirements widely vary: while IoT is low power and low cost, on the upper end performance, power density, and reliability are key. A wide variety of programming and computing models reflects these partly diverse constraints. This module is intended to teach the students all facets of multi-scale computing in order use, program, built and design computing systems that scope with the demands of a connected world.
