I am developing parallel code for 3D semiconductor device simulation.

matrix is asymmetric.)
As a result, I'd like to use GMRES+ILU again for 3D,  in parallel.
Does   -pc_type ilu -pc_factor_mat_ordering_type rcm still work?
Since the parallel martrix requires continuous index in subdomain, the 
matrix ordering seems troublesome.
maybe only a local ordering can be done... Am I right?
