Pathscale/PGI Optimisation Options

[Timothy Stitt]

Barry,

I fully understand your position regarding getting time for this type of
activity so I am hoping that some users can divulge some of this
knowledge...as I would be surprised that it hasn't been tried before.

If I don't hear anything in reasonable time, I'll do some investigation
myself and would be more than happy to pass any findings on to the PETSc
team.

Regards.
