[petsc-users] Question about the performance of KSP solver

Hi,

I'm using the GMRES with ASM preconditioner with sub-domain solver ILU(2) to solve an elasticity problem. First, I use 16 cores to test the computation time, then use 32 cores to run the same code with the same parameters.  But I just get about 10% speed up. From the log file I found that the computation time of KSPSolve() and MatSolve() just decrease a little bit. My PETSc version is 3.16.0 and use --with-debugging=0 when configure it. The matrix size is about 7*10^6. Some detail of the log is shown below:
