Welcome to the Developer-Guide wiki!

Draft outline of Developer wiki

Github markdown doesn't provide anyway of generating TOC's on individual pages. There is a browser add-on solution that works pretty well on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari: https://github.com/arthurhammer/github-toc.

Introduction

• Introduction to Xpetra [LBV]

  • Find a jupyter notebook for Xpetra related training here. You can download the raw file here and run it in your local jupyter installation. The document is released as part of SAND2017-4901 O.

    Alternatively, there is a docker container with all prerequisites preinstalled (Trilinos, jupyter, cling, LaTeX, etc.). Here you can find all necessary information how to download and use the docker container.

• First steps in MueLu: [TAW; completed]

  • There are three jupyter notebook containing a basic introduction into software design and concepts of MueLu

    1. Basics of MueLu::Level: Find it here or download it from here
    2. Basics of MueLu level smoothers: Find it here or download it from here
    3. Basics of MueLu::Hierarchy: Find it here or download it from here

    These documents are released as part of SAND2017-4901 O.

    Please note: there is a docker container with all prerequisites preinstalled (Trilinos, jupyter, cling, LaTeX, etc.). Here you can find all necessary information how to download and use the docker container.
