Dear PETSc team,

I am interested in pipelined CG (-ksp_type pipecg) and Gropp's CG (-ksp_type 
groppcg), it is expected that this iterative method with pipelined has 
advantages over traditional CG in the case of multiple processes. So I'd like 
to ask for Poisson problem, how many computing nodes do I need to show the 
advantages of pipelined CG or Gropp's CG over CG (No preconditioner is used)?

Currently, I can only use up to 32 nodes (36 cores per nodes) at most on my 
cluster, but both "pipecg" and "groppcg" seem to be no advantage over "cg" when 
I solve Poisson equations with homogeneous Dirichlet BC in [0, 1]^2 (remain 
20K~60K DOFs per process). I guess the reason would be too few computing nodes.

Because I am calling PETSc via other numerical software, if need, I would mail 
related performance information to you by using command line options suggested 
by PETSc. Thank you.


Thanks,
Gang
