[petsc-dev] Interface for HIPS

[John Fettig]

It provides a parallel Schur complement preconditioner which can evidently
handle in a black-box fashion ill conditioned systems.  I presume that the
interface to HYPRE would be extremely similar in nature. Here are a couple
of references:

It looks like the project may be dead, though, and I'm sure you're not keen
on adopting any more stray puppies.

Regards,
John
