[petsc-dev] [petsc-users] performance regression with GAMG

Pierre, (moved to dev)

It looks like there is a subtle bug in the new MatFilter.
My guess is that after the compression/filter the communication buffers and
lists need to be recomputed because the graph has changed.
And, the Mat-Mat Mults failed or hung because the communication
requirements, as seen in the graph, did not match the cached communication
lists.
The old way just created a whole new matrix, which took care of that.
