[petsc-dev] Mira

[Nystrom, William D]

Attached are some results from scaling runs on Vulcan that I posted on another thread.  The
results are before and after fixing a problem with VecNorm.

And the second set of plots shows a comparison with the pure MPI case and MPI + pthreads.

In both cases, the runs used two threads or ranks per core.

Okay, some programming is needed to make it function correctly on BG/Q.

If you just want to get a rough sense, you could try the OpenMP branch
