You can run factorizations in a different ordering, but low-bandwidth orderings make a difference for cache reuse in MatMult. PETSc can't reorder that without making a copy. But don't put too much effort into it. _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
