<div dir="ltr">Dear all, <div><br></div><div>I'm a PETSc user. I'm using GMRES method to solve some linear equations. I'm using boundary element method, so the matrix type is dense (or mpidense). I'm using MPICH2, I found that the convergence is fast if I only use one computer node; and much more slower if I use two or more nodes. I'm interested in why this happen, and how can I improve the convergence performance when I use multi-nodes. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot. </div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="System"><span><span>此致<br> 敬礼<br>张骥(</span></span></font><font size="2" face="System"><span><span><font face="System"><span><span>博士研究生)</span></span></font><br>北京计算科学研究中心
