I installed PETSc on Perlmutter using "spack install <span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ContentPasted0">
petsc+cuda+zoltan</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">" </span>
and used it by "<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: black;" class="ContentPasted1">spack load petsc/fwge6pf</span>". Then I compiled the application code (purely CPU code) linking to
the petsc package, hoping that I can get performance improvement using the petsc GPU backend. However, the timing was the same using the same number of MPI tasks with and without GPU accelerators. Have I missed something in the process, for example, setting
up PETSc options at runtime to use the GPU backend?</div>
