Jean-Paul and Bruno, thanks for your answer, this is helpful.
What would be the main difference between Epetra and Tpetra? What would be the benefits of using Tpetra over Epetra? Our objective is to solve for two-phase flows in multi-D using a fully implicit temporal scheme. In the short term, we would need the Trilinos solver/perconditioner capabilities and also are very interested in the Sacado package that does automatic differentiation.
