GAMG is almost algorithmically invariant but the graph coarsening is not invariant not deterministic. You should not see much difference in teration could but a little decay is expected. On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 12:36 PM Matthew Knepley via petsc-users < petsc-users@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > On Wed,

Yes - the default preconditioner is block-jacobi - with one block on each processor. So when run on 1 proc vs 8 proc - the preconditioner is different (with 1block for bjacobi vs 8blocks for bjacobi)- hence difference in convergence. Satish On Wed, 17 Apr 2019, Marian Greg via petsc-users
