about KSP based on parallel dense matrix

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Well, any iterative solver will actually work, but expect a really
poor scalability :-). I believe (never used dense matrices) that you
could use a direct method (PLAPACK?), but again, be prepared for long
running times if your problem is (even moderately) large.
