Plans for the week March 27-31
Dear all, I am sorry for changing time again, but Øyvind needs to change the lab time back to 1615-19 instead of 1415-17 as announced earlier. Furthermore, the person we were supposed to interview for a position changed the travel plans for tomorow.
This means that lectures and lab tomorrow will be at our regular time. I am sorry for this last moment changes.
We have thus
1) Lecture at 1415-16 and
2) lab 1615-19
We will wrap our discussion on project 1 (we are also flexible with the deadline, as always) and discuss parallelization and vectorization strategies. Many of you are already familiar with these topics and Monte-Carlo approaches like the variational MC approach we use in the project are normally extremely trivial to parallelize.
During the lecture tomorrow we will review basic elements needed in the project and discuss how we parallelize the codes. Most of the examples are in C++. The slides are at for example http://compphysics.github.io/ComputationalPhysics2/doc/pub/week10/html/week10-reveal.html
The lecture will be recorded as usual and posted right after the lecture.
For those of you who cannot be there, best wishes for the coming break and cya on April 13. After the break we will discuss different paths for the second project, but tentatively these are
1) Time-dependent mean field (Hartree-Fock)
2) Coupled cluster theory
3) Using deep learning methods to solve project 1 (favors those of you who have taken fys-stk4155)
4) variational Monte Carlo with Fermions, continuation of project 1 but now for fermions.
5) More options, please feel free to suggest
Best wishes
Morten and Øyvind
