I'm not sure I'm going to reply to your question correctly because I don't really understand how the split is done. Is it related to on diagonal and off diagonal? If so, the off-diagonal part is usually pretty small (less than 20 DOFs) and related to diffusion,
the diagonal part involves thousands of DOFs for the reaction term.</div>

What sort of physics are in splits 0 and 1?<br>
<br>
SOR is not a good GPU algorithm, so we'll want to change that one way or another. Are the splits of similar size or very different?<br>
