I don't understand the numbers in the table.
Is this memory summed over all the ranks or the maximum over the ranks?
Is this for the same problem size on different np or are you increasing the problem size with more ranks?
Are you storing and factoring the matrix on each rank or is the solution of a single linear system done in parallel?

The savings you will get by not having a PETSc copy of the matrix and a MUMPS copy of the matrix at the same time is unlikely to be significant. Do you have memory footprint measurements indicating that not having the PETSc copy of the matrix in memory will allow you to run measurably larger simulations?
