[petsc-users] parallel ILU

[Barry Smith]

    I would stick to the BAIJ, since that will give you better  
performance in the non-hypre part of the code, while the hypre part  
has the same performance because it does not "know" about BAIJ. The  
conversion cost is in my experience very small relative to the  
computation times.
