That would be my intent. But by pushing the majority of the implementation into NumericVector<> I would bet the derived PetscVector<>/EpetraVector<> classes could get a lot smaller. I don't know if anything would be specialized in DistributedVector<> any more, but keeping it as a class derived from NumericVector<> is not a problem. > Now that so many supercomputer sites have PETSc or Trilinos installed > this doesn't seem very necessary, but as LibMesh is getting packaged > by other distros, it would be cool if it had some parallel linear > algebra abilities "out of the box". My mind heads down this path every so often too... Who wants to handle the preconditioning part? ;-) Thanks for the quadrature rule updates! -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
