I was hoping you'd know :) pbjacobi is underperforming ilu by a pretty wide margin on some of the systems i'm looking at. We don't have colored smoothers currently in PETSc. > So what happens under the hood when I run -mg_levels_pc_type sor on GPU? Are you actually decomposing the matrix into lower and computing updates with matrix multiplications? Or is it just the standard serial algorithm with thread safety ignored?
