[petsc-dev] [GPU] Performance on Fermi

[Barry Smith]

   PETSc-dev folks,

      Please prepend all messages to petsc-dev that involve GPUs with [GPU] so they can be easily filtered.

    Keita,

      To run src/ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials/ex2.c with CUDA you need the flag -vec_type cuda

      Note also that this example is fine for simple ONE processor tests but should not be used for parallel testing because it does not do a proper parallel partitioning for performance
