KSPPGMRES

 Implements the Pipelined Generalized Minimal Residual method.

Options Database Keys

-ksp_gmres_restart <restart> - the number of Krylov directions to orthogonalize against
-ksp_gmres_haptol <tol> - sets the tolerance for "happy ending" (exact convergence)
-ksp_gmres_preallocate - preallocate all the Krylov search directions initially (otherwise groups of vectors are allocated as needed)
-ksp_gmres_classicalgramschmidt - use classical (unmodified) Gram-Schmidt to orthogonalize against the Krylov space (fast) (the default)
-ksp_gmres_modifiedgramschmidt - use modified Gram-Schmidt in the orthogonalization (more stable, but slower)
-ksp_gmres_cgs_refinement_type <never,ifneeded,always> - determine if iterative refinement is used to increase the stability of the classical Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization.
-ksp_gmres_krylov_monitor - plot the Krylov space generated

Notes

MPI configuration may be necessary for reductions to make asynchronous progress, which is important for performance of pipelined methods. See the FAQ on the PETSc website for details.
