Notes#
Compare to KSPFCG
Supports left preconditioning only.
The natural “norm” for this method is \((u,Au)\), where \(u\) is the preconditioned residual. As with standard KSPCG, this norm is available at no additional computational cost.
Choosing preconditioned or unpreconditioned norms involve an extra blocking global reduction, thus removing any benefit from pipelining.
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?
