[petsc-users] MPI v. Pthreads ?

[John Chludzinski]

So if host the "new and improved" PETSc on a mult--proc/multi-core Linux
workstation (or in my case, a mult--proc/multi-core Windows workstation
running Cygwin), not configured as a cluster, I would be using pthreads and
not MPI?

The latter. Pthreads within a NUMA node or shared memory node, MPI between
nodes.
