Changes: 3.16#

General:

  • Change MPIU_Allreduce() to always returns a MPI error code that should be checked with CHKERRMPI(ierr)

  • Add support for A64FX and Cray compilers

  • Add support for ESSL 5.2 and later; drop support for ESSL <=5.1

  • Add support for NEC-SX Tsubasa Vector Engine

  • Add support for NVIDIA HPC SDK

Configure/Build:

  • Configure requires Python-2.7 or Python-3.4+.

  • Remove --with-kokkos-cuda-arch. One can use -with-cuda-gencodearch to specify the cuda arch for Kokkos. Usually not needed since PETSc auto detects that

  • For --download-hdf5, disable --download-hdf5-fortran-bindings by default

  • Add OpenCascade package to PETSc and allow --download-opencascade

  • Add support for hypre in device mode for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs

  • Extend detection of C++ dialect to C++17. Configure now also takes minimum and maximum required C++ dialect of packages into account when choosing the C++ dialect
