Advanced Parallel Computing and Solvers for Large Problems in Engineering

What it is about

You learn how parallel computers are used for large-scale simulations of structure and fluid mechanics. You will gain an overview of methods, algorithms and software for multi-processor architectures and, in the end, you will be able to assess and design basic parallel solution approaches for very large systems of equations.

What you will be able to do

• Assess concepts of using multi-processor architectures
• Recognize applications of parallel simulations
• Analyze and compare basic concepts of domain decomposition
• Design parallel solution algorithms for large systems of equations
• Understand fundamentals of multigrid methods
• Formulate and independently solve parallel simulation problems
