KSPPIPEFGMRES

 Implements the Pipelined Generalized Minimal Residual method. A flexible, 1-stage pipelined variant of GMRES.

Options Database Keys

-ksp_gmres_restart <restart> - the number of Krylov directions to orthogonalize against
-ksp_gmres_haptol <tol> - sets the tolerance for "happy ending" (exact convergence)
-ksp_gmres_preallocate - preallocate all the Krylov search directions initially (otherwise groups of
-ksp_pipefgmres_shift - the shift to use (defaults to 1. See KSPPIPEFGMRESSetShift() vectors are allocated as needed)
-ksp_gmres_krylov_monitor - plot the Krylov space generated

Notes

This variant is not "explicitly normalized" like KSPPGMRES, and requires a shift parameter.

A heuristic for choosing the shift parameter is the largest eigenvalue of the preconditioned operator.

Only right preconditioning is supported (but this preconditioner may be nonlinear/variable/inexact, as with KSPFGMRES). 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.

Developer Notes: This class is subclassed off of KSPGMRES.
