A Tutorial on Elliptic PDE Solvers and Their Parallelization

by Craig C. Douglas, Gundolf Haase, Ulrich Langer

A Tutorial on Elliptic PDE Solvers and Their Parallelization is a valuable aid for learning about the possible errors and bottlenecks in parallel computing. One of the highlights of the tutorial is that the course material can run on a laptop, not just on a parallel computer or cluster of PCs, thus allowing readers to experience their first successes in parallel computing in a relatively short amount of time.
This tutorial is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computational sciences and engineering; however, it may also be helpful to professionals who use PDE-based parallel computer simulations in the field.
