| 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.

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
given (black-box, 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).

Distributed memory parallelization with the Message Passing Interface MPI (for beginners) |
| Abstract |
On clusters and distributed memory architectures,
parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI)
is the dominating programming model.
The course gives an full introduction into MPI-1.
Further aspects are domain decomposition, load balancing, and debugging.
An MPI-2 overview and the MPI-2 one-sided communication is also taught.
Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users
to immediately test and understand the basic
constructs of the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
Course language is ENGLISH (if required).
This course is the first part (MPI for beginners) of a 5-day course program
and may be booked together with the other parts
F-b (OpenMP) and F-c (advanced topics).

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.
