The focus of this course 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 jointly organized by HLRS and the University of Kassel.

Besides the content of the training itself, an important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by
This course will be hybrid, i.e. it will take place at HLRS on-site but it will also be possible to attend online. Participants, online as well as on-site, have to be aware and agree that they might appear in the live video stream taken by a camera in the back of the lecture room or by a webcam on laptops. The live stream will not be saved. We strongly recommend to attend this course on-site since on-site attendance is much more effective and efficient in our experience. Therefore we might give priority to on-site over online participants during registration.
