Due to the scale of the problem is huge, I want to choose the best and the most efficient solver. I have checked the time-cost of the pre-conditioner PCGAMG together with the solvers like KSPCGS, KSPGMRES, KSPBCGS, KSPTFQMR and KSPGCR, but the difference between them is really really small. Except comparing the time-cost, are there any other properties that I can compare in order to find the most efficient solver? Are there any suggestions about choosing the best solver? Besides, I want to further speed the solving process up, are there any suggestions?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, the convergence of an iterative solver is strongly dependent on the equation you are solving.</div><div>We recommend doing a literature search to find what solvers people recommend.
