Scientific Computing Mandatory Assignment 2

The purpose of this document is to verify attendance of the author to the Scientific Computing course, at the Danish Technical University (DTU). The reader is assumed to be familiar with the project description, as well as the programming language C++, and the distributed computing interfaces OpenMP and MPI. After a brief outline of the 2-dimensional Poisson problem, numerical methods for approximating its solution are given. An implementation of these methods is described for the C++ programming language, including the distributed computation through the use of OpenMP and MPI. The resulting software is tested for correctness, and various performance benchmarks are produced. This is believed to be in correspondance with the project description, and the project is hence considered wholly solved.
