4. Practical Course on Parallel Numerical Methods

The Practical Course on Parallel Numerical Methods is held every year at the end of the winter term by the Chair of Parallel and Distributed Systems in cooperation with the Chair of Scientific Computing.

Supervisor: Sandra Aziz (Scientific Computing)

Next course: 13.03.23 - 24.03.23

Location: PC-Pool S 73 (NW II)

Organization

The focus of the course this year is programming with MPI and OpenMP.

The final presentations take place on 24.03.23

Content

In this practical course, students implement manageable numerical problems (such as CG method, finite difference discretization of 2d Laplacian, etc.) on parallel computers using the programming language C/C++ and standard software libraries (LAPACK/BLAS, OpenMP, OpenMPI). The resulting parallel efficiency is observed depending on the chosen implementation (naive or advanced such as Schwarz methods).
