KSPPIPECR

Pipelined conjugate residual method. Pipelined Krylov Methods

Notes

This method has only a single non-blocking reduction per iteration, compared to 2 blocking for standard KSPCR. The non-blocking reduction is overlapped by the matrix-vector product, but not the preconditioner application.

See also KSPPIPECG, where the reduction is only overlapped with the matrix-vector product.

MPI configuration may be necessary for reductions to make asynchronous progress, which is important for performance of pipelined methods. See What steps are necessary to make the pipelined solvers execute efficiently?
