Advice to Users

The field of parallel-in-time methods is in many ways under development, and success has been shown primarily for problems with some parabolic character. While there are ongoing projects (here and elsewhere) looking at varied applications such as hyperbolic problems, computational fluid dynamics, power grids, medical applications, and so on, expectations should take this fact into account. That being said, we strongly encourage new users to try our code for their application. Every new application has its own issues to address and this will help us to improve both the algorithm and the software.
