Ok, I'll try looking with greps like and see what I find.

>  My guess why your code is not using the seqaijcusparse is that you are
not setting the type before you call MatLoad() hence it loads with SeqAIJ.
-mat_type does not magically change a type once a matrix has a set type. I
agree our documentation on how to make objects be GPU objects is horrible
now.

I printed out my matrices with the PetscViewer objects and can confirm that
the type is seqaijcusparse. Perhaps for the way I'm using it
(DIFFERENT_NONZERO_PATTERN) the kernel is unsupported? I'm not sure how to
get any more diagnostic info about why the cuda kernel isn't called...
