Abstract
The course «Computer multiscale modelling and simulation» is aimed at the teaching students with a wide spectrum of methods, technologies and problems in the field of multiscale modelling and simulation and material properties. Different levels of theoretical description at various space and time scales are considered as well as the connections between them and computational technologies oriented on the hardware of the pre-exaflops era supercomputers
