    Jed, Matt,<br>
    <br>
    Ok, I see. Perhaps it was bad idea to play around with ILU for my
    problems...<br>

                  <br>
                  Sorry for dummy question, but what are options for
                  parallel ILU in petsc? Which packages are best for big
                  sparse matrices (&gt;= 10^6)?<br>
                  Where do I start from?<br>
