PETSc version 3.15.5

KSPPIPECG2

Pipelined conjugate gradient method with a single non-blocking allreduce per two iterations. This method has only a single non-blocking reduction per two iterations, compared to 2 blocking for standard CG. The non-blocking reduction is overlapped by two matrix-vector products and two preconditioner applications.

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.
