Abstract
As modern programming methodologies migrate from computer science to s cientific computing, developers of numerical software are faced with n ew possibilities and challenges. Based on experiences from an ongoing project that develops C++ software for the solution of partial differe ntial equations, this article has its focus on object-oriented design of iterative solvers for linear systems of equations. Special attentio n is paid to possible conflicts that have to be resolved in order to a chieve a very flexible, yet efficient, code.
