Description

The focus is on parallel algorithms and domain decomposition techniques which are suitable for simulation on High Performance Distributed Computing systems. Emphasis is on algorithms for execution on loosely coupled distributed systems, like Grid-systems. Parallel numerical algorithms to solve prototypical (Laplace) differential equations will be discussed and studied through implementation in the hands-on part of the course. Load-balancing methods and domain decomposition techniques will be introduced.
