Dear Natanael Lanz,

GetFEM++ can currently use MUMPS as a parallel direct solver if compiled
with --enable-paralevel=2, see
http://download.gna.org/getfem/html/homepage/userdoc/parallel.html .
I guess an interface for the parallel version of SUPERLU would be similar
to the available interface for MUMPS. However, I am wondering why not just
using MUMPS? As far as I understand it is the most mature of the sparse
direct solvers that one can get for free.

Best regards
Kostas
