The focus is on iterative and parallel solvers, and the parallel programming models MPI and OpenMP. 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 and Uni. Kassel.

Participants are expected to use their own machines or institute clusters.
For the iterative solvers part of the course, a recent version of MATLAB or GNU OCTAVE (available for free) should be installed.
For the MPI and OpenMP part of the course, Linux command shell commands and some basic programming knowledge in C or Fortran (or Python for the MPI part).
To be able to do the hands-on exercises, you need a computer with an OpenMP capable C/C++ or Fortran compiler and a corresponding up-to-date MPI library (in case of Fortran, the mpi_f08 module is required). In addition, you can perform the MPI exercises in Python with mpi4py + numpy. In this case, an appropriate installation on your system is required (together with a C/C++ or Fortran installation for the OpenMP exercises).
To check if your MPI and OpenMP installation is valid, please either
After that follow the instructions in TEST/README.txt within the archive.
Please make sure to have a functioning working environment / access to an HPC cluster prior to the start of the course.
