Hello, Thanks a lot for looking into this. I'm still working on debugging this on our side. It might be an issue with us. I will keep you updated.

James, My understanding is that you call MatMatMult in sequential for computing C = A*B, in which A is in aij format, and B is dense, and the product C is dense, but gives different values than what you got from Matlab. Do you have a stand-alone petsc code to reproduce this so I can investigate what goes wrong?
