[petsc-users] Running PETSc with a Kokkos backend on OLCF Frontier

[Barry Smith]

   Please run both the CPU solvers and GPU solvers cases with -log_view and send the two outputs.

This has been tested and is working well on OCLF's Frontier machine. Next we are trying to use the Kokkos backend to run it on Frontier GPUs. While the OpenFOAM+PETSc+Kokkos environment built correctly on Frontier using the modules sourced (attached file bash_petsc4foam_gpu) and configuring PETSc correctly (attached file config_gpu), the GPU solve seems to take more time than the CPU solve.
