KSPPIPELCG

 Deep pipelined (length l) Conjugate Gradient method. This method has only a single non-blocking global reduction per iteration, compared to 2 blocking reductions for standard CG. The reduction is overlapped by the matrix-vector product and preconditioner application of the next l iterations. The pipeline length l is a parameter of the method.

Notes

MPI configuration may be necessary for reductions to make asynchronous progress, which is important for performance of pipelined methods. See the FAQ on the PETSc website for details.
