[petsc-dev] Alternatives to cholmod

[Dave Nystrom]

I've been using cholmod from SuiteSparse for over a year now to solve one of
my linear systems that is difficult to solve with an iterative method.  Are
there other sparse direct solvers, such as clique, that I should try
sometime?  My linear system is SPD and I am solving it on a single node.  My
code has not yet been parallelized using MPI - it is only a 2D code.

Thanks,

Dave
