Tutorials

6. libMesh

6/17/13, 9:30 AM

Day 1 - Preprocessing

libMesh

This tutorial will cover the fundamental design principles and usage of the libMesh finite element library. Key data structures and algorithms will be presented, along with a series of example programs of increasing complexity. Domain discretization, finite element approximation, and adaptive solution strategies will be discussed for a range of physical applications. Implementation examples...

5. PETSc

6/18/13, 9:00 AM

Day 2 - Solvers

PETSc

This tutorial will present scalable linear and nonlinear solver methodology within the context of the Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific computing (PETSc). It will cover the underlying principles of Krylov, domain decomposition, and multigrid methods, as well as field-split methods for coupled multiphysics problems. Throughout the tutorial, library interfaces will be presented, along...

8. Trilinos

6/19/13, 9:00 AM

Day 3 - Solvers

Trilinos

This tutorial will make you familiar with the high-performance numerical toolkit Trilinos. You will get insight into the core capabilities of Trilinos and some of its over more than 50 packages, covering almost every aspect of numerical computation. On the low level, we will discuss data organization and the architecture of Trilinos, on a higher level about numerical methods such as Krylov and...
