<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">Hi,<br>
I use MPI.COMM_WORLD as communicator because I use bcast to send around some other info to all processes before reading in the matrices and running solver.<br>
(I can't call bcast on PETSc.COMM_WORLD).<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
OK. So this is clear now.<br>
Maybe you will be able to help the answer the question I raised<br>
some time ago, why, when<br>
submitting a slurm job and setting different number of<br>
--cpus-per-task, the execution times of ksp solver<br>
(gmres type) vary when max number of iterations set to 100.000<br>
and ksp, when finished, returns ksp.getIterationNumber() (in petsc4py)<br>
equal to 900 (for some cases) and 100.000 for other.<br>
It looks like number of cpus per task influence the number of steps<br>
the solver solves the equation. Is it possible at all?<br>
<br>
If you have one solver executing on the whole communicator, PETSC_COMM_WORLD,<br>
all processes will report the same number of iterates. If you have independent, serial<br>
solvers on each process, PETSC_COMM_SELF, they can report different numbers of iterates<br>
depending on the convergence criteria.<br>

>> I recalled there was OpenMP available for PETSc for the old development version. When google "petsc hybrid mpi openmp", there returned some papers about this feature. My code was first parallelized using OpenMP and then redeveloped using PETSc, with OpenMP kept but not used together with MPI. Before retesting the code using hybrid mpi-openmp, I picked one PETSc example ex10 by adding "omp_set_num_threads(max_threads);" under PetscInitialize.<br>
