I would guess this would rather be the degeneration of ILUt in parallel than the implementation.
If I am not wrong, ILU-T in parallel is not ILU-like preconditioner anymore, right? I remember the inter-core part is implemented in a block-Jacobi fashion. I've never used ILUT but used ILU a lot. For my past experience, it was super easy for certain problems that ILU serial outperforms ILU in parallel. I experienced that in problems like when I have elliptic equations in subdomains connected with hyperbolic-type (upwinding) interface conditions. 在 2018年4月5日星期四 UTC-7下午4:42:17，Wolfgang Bangerth写道： > > On 04/04/2018 08:38 AM, Feimi Yu wrote: > > I wish I can only deal with small problem, but that is only a test > > problem and > > I guess we need to use this code to compute much larger 3-D cases.
