In this last episode of the companion podcast for the C++ course at UCL, I invited both Klaus Iglberger and Marc Hartung (Dive, Berlin) to go...

Marc Hartung and I will discuss distributed memory in parallel computing in this episode, with tools like OpenMPI. We also discuss some of the hardware aspects around HPC systems and how shared and distributed memory computations differ....

Parallel programming is a huge, exciting and evolving field. Together with my guest Marc Hartung from Dive in Berlin, Germany, we try to cover some aspects of it: including OpenMP, how to synchronise data etc. Links:http...

How can we measure the performance (run-time, memory usage etc) of our C++ code? And what does performance mean, anyway. These and other questions are the topic of this episode - with my guest Klaus Iglberger, C++ engineer, tutor and mentor.&nb...

Software libraries play a crucial role in software development, and C++ is no exception. Klaus and I walk through the different aspects of building, using and selecting libraries. Links:https:...

Here we touch on some ways to build classes in C++ and how class design such as class hierarchies can help to make code more readable, more maintainable and less error prone (amongst other things). Klaus Iglberger and I also touch on design pat...

Inheritance, templates, function overloading - they all fall into the category of polymorphism in programming. My guest Klaus Iglberger and I discuss the different aspects of how this could be done with C++. Links

Exceptions are essentials, as are error codes. Writes Bjarnes Stroustrup. And so on our 3rd stop through C++ I talk about what you could do when things go wrong. And what you can do to prevent errors - with testing. My guest is, again Klaus Igl...

In the beginnings were...data and data types. Which is where we begin our journey through C++. The language provides for a range of interesting, fundamental, complex and custom types - one of which is a set of pointer types. My guest i...

This first episode is about introducing C++, where it started, how it evolved. You will hear from 2 practitioners: Klaus Iglberger (C++ coach/trainer) and Marc Hartung (tech lead at Dive in Berlin).Here are a few links for you to follow...

Welcome to the new podcast from the Advanced Research Computing Centre of the University College London, UK.  A companion podcast for courses on Research Computing at UCL.In this first season we'll be presenting the course on Resea...
