| Abstract |
 |
|
The aim of these workshops is to give people who already have
some programming experience an introduction into the numerics of
linear solvers and the basics of parallel programming.
The focus is on iterative solvers, the programming models MPI and OpenMP,
domain decomposition, load balancing and parallel numerics.
Language support is given for Fortran, C and C++.
Message Passing with MPI is the major programming model on
large distributed-memory systems in high-performance computing.
OpenMP is dedicated to shared memory systems.
Hands-on sessions will allow users to immediately test linear solver programming and to
understand what the basic constructs of MPI and OpenMP are meant to do.

MPI and OpenMP (70% for beginners, 30% advanced) |
| Abstract |
The focus is on programming models MPI, OpenMP, and PETSc.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the basic
constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and
the shared memory directives of OpenMP.
This course is organized by ZHR in collaboration with HLRS.

Iterative Linear Solvers and Parallelization |
| Abstract |
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 and Fortran) 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.
This course is organized by Uni. Kassel, HLRS, and IAG.

| Registration |
The course is absolutely full. There is an additional course Jan. 17-19, 2005,
which is also nearly full.
Registration for the course in Jan. 2005 must be done still via registration
for this course 2004 G. You will be automatically moved to the course in Jan. 2005.
Registration must be done via the
online form.
If you are not from the FZ Jülich, it would be preferable if you can register for the
course 2005 A in Dresden
(with same content).
