[petsc-users] Bad memory scaling with PETSc 3.10

Hi,

good point, I changed the 3.10 version so that it is configured with
--with-debugging=0. You'll find attached the output of the new LogView.
The execution time is reduced (although still not as good as 3.6) but I
can't see any improvement with regard to memory.

You'll also find attached the grep GAMG on -info outputs for both
versions. There are slight differences in grid dimensions or nnz values,
but is it significant?

Thanks,

Myriam
