Hi Bruno, No, unfortunately I have not played with the parameter values. Hypre has a set of recommended parameter values for 3D problems, but I think some are not exposed to the deal.II interface so I have avoided digging into the source. I chose PETSc somewhat arbitrarily, so if you are more

Lucas, it's hard to tell why this might be so slow. In general, I *think* what you are doing is apply the AMG to the entire, coupled system? That is unusual, though maybe not strictly wrong. In practice, however, we almost always apply multigrid preconditioners only to the elliptic blocks of

2022-03-03 Thread Lucas Myers
Hi folks, I'm trying to solve a 3D problem in parallel using an AMG preconditioner, but the performance is bad. I'm wondering if I can get some advice from someone who has experience choosing and tuning multigrid preconditioners, particularly for problems in 3D. For context: - The problem
