[petsc-users] Solving a Linear System with two different Solvers (one each thread)..?

I guess that can be done calling different ksp object, one on each thread, but I don't have clear, first if this is possible and second how to do that. 


No, this is not possible currently and may not be available in the future too. I don't think there may be any performance benefit by solving the same linear system using different KSPs on different threads. 


What are you trying to do using pthreads in PETSc?

Hello Petsc Team, 




I has some experience with PETSc + MPI, but neither with PETSc+Pthreads nor Pthreads alone. Taking in to account that pthread was recenltly added to petsc, is it possible to code a program that solve the same linear system with two different solvers, one on each thread?. I guess that can be done calling different ksp object, one on each thread, but I don't have clear, first if this is possible and second how to do that. Sorry if my question is meaningless, I just started to study pthreads. 



I will really appreciated any advice. Thanks in advance. 


Best Regards
