Homework and Projects
- Although some assignments can be done on your personal laptops, most projects require the use of parallel computing platforms at the RWTH computing center, i.e., RZ Xeon cluster.
- Hints specific to particular homework or project are often posted at the topics pages linked above corresponding to the lecture in which the assignment was given.
