PCREDUNDANT

 Runs a KSP solver with preconditioner for the entire problem on subgroups of processors Options for the redundant preconditioners can be set with -redundant_pc_xxx for the redundant KSP with -redundant_ksp_xxx

Options Database

-pc_redundant_number <n> -number of redundant solves, for example if you are using 64 MPI processes and use an n of 4 there will be 4 parallel solves each on 16 = 64/4 processes.

Notes: The default KSP is preonly and the default PC is LU.

Developer Notes: Note that PCSetInitialGuessNonzero() is not used by this class but likely should be.
