Hi All, I am a PhD student in parallel computing working on unstructured meshes optimizations on multicore architectures. For this purpose, I want to use a simple block Jacobi iterative solver using unstructured meshes to see how I can improve performance of the solver on a multicore machine (KNL for example). I wanted to know if PETSc can be good choice for this purpose? Will it allow me to experiment with data layout, compiler optimizations (e.g. AVX512) etc.?
I thank you for your assistance and useful feedback. -- *Najeeb Ahmad* *Research and Teaching Assistant* *PARallel and MultiCORE Computing Laboratory (ParCoreLab) * *Computer Science and Engineering* *Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey*
