I still haven't had much luck getting GAMG to work consistently for my Poisson problem. ML seems to work nicely on low core counts, but I have a problem where I can get long thin portions of grid on some processors instead of nice block like chunks at high core counts, which leads to a pretty tough time for ML. <br>

<br>
Also, I would try running with a Jacobi solver to see if that fixes the problem. If so then you might try<br>
<br>
-pc_type gamg<br>
-pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1<br>
-pc_gamg_type agg<br>
<br>
This is a built in AMG solver so perhaps it plays nicer with resources ...<br>
