KSPPIPEBCGS#
Implements a pipelined BiCGStab method. Pipelined Krylov Methods
Notes#
This method has only two non-blocking reductions per iteration, compared to 3 blocking for standard KSPFBCGS. The
non-blocking reductions are overlapped by matrix-vector products and preconditioner applications.
Periodic residual replacement may be used to increase robustness and maximal attainable accuracy.
Like KSPFBCGS, the KSPPIPEBCGS implementation only allows for right preconditioning.
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?
