| 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.

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.

The Tuesday is dedicated to the new NEC platforms at HLRS.
Here the abstract from NEC for this special day of the course:
Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern die Möglichkeiten
der jetzt kommenden SX-6 Installation am HLRS sowie der 2005
kommenden Multiteraflop Installation aufzuzeigen, und Ihnen
das Rüstzeug zu geben, Cluster aus Shared Memory Vektor Rechnern
in effizienter Art und Weise zu nutzen.
Die Konfiguration der Installation wird ebenso abgedeckt
wie Grundzüge der Vektorisierung. Für erfahrene SX-5 Benutzer
wird auf die Unterschiede von SX-5 und SX-6 eingegangen.
Für erfahrene Vektorrechner Nutzer sind die SX spezifischen Methoden zur
Performance Messung und Analyse sowie die Bedienung der Compiler
und des Systems insbesondere für parallele Programme von Interesse.
Seperate registration of individual days is possiple.

Introduction to Computational Fluids Dynamics |
| Abstract |
Numerical methods to solve the equations of Fluid Dynamics are presented.
The main focus is on explicit Finite Volume schemes for the compressible
Euler equations. Hands-on sessions will manifest the content of the lectures.
Participants will learn to implement the algorithms, but also to apply
commercial software and to interpret the solutions correctly.
Methods and problems of parallelization are discussed.
This course is organized by HLRS, IAG, and Uni. Kassel,
and is based on a computational practical awarded with the
"Landeslehrpreis Baden-Württemberg 2003"
(held at Uni. Stuttgart, under auspices of the BMBF project
NUSS,
contract 08NM227).
