Dear users of LRZ,

We are happy to announce that the very popular compact course “Iterative Linear Solvers and Parallelisation” by Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner and Prof. Andreas Meister will be back on-site at LRZ in Garching near Munich, for the first time in English:

Iterative Linear Solvers and Parallelisation

Location: LRZ, Garching near Munich (on-site!)
Date: 29.08. – 02.09.2022
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Andreas Meister (Uni. Kassel, Institute of Mathematics) and Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner (HLRS)
WWW: https://app1.edoobox.com/en/LRZ/Onsite%20Courses/Course.ed.1fd25af222bd_6830595451
Registration Deadline: 15.08.2022 (We recommend early registration due to a limited room capacity!)

The focus of this on-site compact course at LRZ in Garching near Munich is on iterative and parallel solvers, the parallel programming models MPI and OpenMP, and the parallel middleware PETSc. Thereby, different modern Krylov Subspace Methods as well as highly efficient preconditioning techniques are presented in the context of real life applications. Hands-on sessions will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of iterative solvers (in Matlab or GNU Octave), the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the shared memory directives of OpenMP (in C and Fortran).

Topics covered include:

• Classical splitting methods
• Krylov subspace methods (CG, GMRES, BiCGSTAB, CGS, ...)
• Preconditioning
• Multigrid methods
• Parallelisation with/of OpenMP, MPI,  PETSc, iterative solvers

This compact course is suitable for graduate students or undergraduates nearing the end of their degrees in engineering sciences, physics, informatics, or mathematics, as well as scientists from application-oriented research institutions and industry.
