Dear SLEPc/PETSc team, I tried to run SLEPc's samples program ex1 in MPI-based multi-PC environment. (1-PC vs 2-PCs) (ex) [running ex1 in only 1 PC] -- $ time -p mpiexec -n 1 ./ex1 -n 4000 -eps_max_it 1 ... real 76.2

I have a few more questions. Just in case I want to ask. [Q1] In general, like ex1, Don't we need any change to source code to run program with MPI-based system? in other words, to run SLEPc-based program in MPI-based system, all I need to do is changing ./configure option (--with-mpi=1, etc)
