Solving differential equations in parallel on GPUs | Workshop | 2021

This workshop covers trendy areas in modern numerical computing with examples from geoscientific applications. The physical processes governing natural systems' evolution are often mathematically described as systems of differential equations. Fast and accurate solutions require numerical implementations to leverage modern parallel hardware.

The workshop consists of 2 parts:
1. You will learn about parallel and distributed computing and iterative solvers.
2. You will implement a PDE solver to predict ice flow dynamics on real topography.

By the end of this workshop, you will:
- Have a GPU PDE solver that predicts ice-flow;
- Have a concise Julia code that achieves similar performance than legacy C, CUDA, MPI code;
- Be able to leverage the computing power of modern GPU accelerated servers and supercomputers.

We look forward to having you on board and will make sure to foster exchange of ideas and knowledge to provide an as inclusive as possible event.
