[petsc-users] ODE Solver on multiple cores

[Hong Zhang]

If x is just a scalar, it would not be a surprise that the code does not run in parallel. If x is a vector, you need a DM object to handle the decomposition.

It works well on a single core and produces result close to theoretical answer but whenever I am trying to run the same code on multiple cores, I am getting incorrect results. It seems to me that, for multiple cores it stops after taking only 2 steps regardless of the final time and gives the final result (which is inaccurate). I tried different TSType (TSEULER, TSBEULER, TSSUNDIALS, TSCN etc.) but I always ended up with the same issue.
