My question and hope: does anybody has experiences with parallel direct
solvers and their use within deal.II?
Does it make sense to have a parallel direct solver in deal.II?
Certainly. I think it's mainly that nobody ever took the time to write the
necessary interfaces. Like Jon suggests, MUMPS would be one option.
SuperLU also can work in parallel. It would be worthwhile checking if
PETSc or Trilinos have other distributed parallel solvers they can
interface with.
OK. Thanks for your answers, Jon and Wolfgang. If I have time in the next
weeks I will try it.
Let us know if you want to take a stab at implementing such interfaces and
we'd be happy to help you in case of questions!
Cheers
W.
Best Thomas
