<p>Apparently, MatMatMultNum and MatScale take the most
time (by far) during execution. Therefore, I was
wondering if it is possible to move those operations/all
matrices and vectors to a GPU or another accelerator.
According to <a href="https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/features/gpus.html" target="_blank">https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/features/gpus.html</a>
CUDA is only supported for distributed vectors, but not
for dense distributed matrices. Are there any updates
related to that, or other ways to speed up the involved
operations?</p>

<div>You should compute the timings associated with each call,
and not consider the lump sum. For example, each MatScale
takes 6.9348e+02/56162 = 0.012347851 seconds on average, I
doubt you can get any reasonable speedup with CUDA. What are
the sizes of these matrices? </div>
