Iterative Linear Solvers and Parallelization

This course will be provided On-site. Please refer to our Covid rules.

This course is planned to take place at HLRS but might be cancelled or provided as a reduced ONLINE course (using Zoom) if necessary by pandemic rules.

The focus is on iterative and parallel solvers, the parallel programming models MPI and OpenMP, and the parallel middleware PETSc. Thereby, different modern Krylov Subspace Methods (CG, GMRES, BiCGSTAB, ...) as well as highly efficient preconditioning techniques are presented in the context of real life applications. Hands-on sessions (in C, Fortran and Python) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of iterative solvers, the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the shared memory directives of OpenMP (in C and Fortran). This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves. It is organized by HLRS, IAG, Uni. Kassel, and SFB/TRR30.

Our course fees include coffee breaks (in classroom courses only).

On-site course & COVID rules

Besides the content of the training itself, another important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by

  • a social event on the evening of the first course day,
  • offering common coffee and lunch breaks and
  • working together in groups of two during the exercises (if desired by the individual participants and permitted by the COVID-19 rules).

By registering you agree to adhere to the COVID-19 regulations of the University of Stuttgart that are in effect at the time of the course. For more information, see  the COVID-19 informations and the Hygiene Concept of the University of Stuttgart.

We recommend to choose travel options and hotels with the possibility to cancel (even close to the event) because we might be forced to deliver the course as an online course.
