Introduction

PETSc is a toolkit to facilitate the development of parallel scientific applications involving the solution of partial differential equations. It provides such things as parallel solvers for linear and nonlinear problems, preconditioners and data strutures for the representation of sparse parallel matrices.

There are many optional add-ons to PETSc which makes it difficult to maintain in a public directory.

If you plan to use PETSc on WestGrid, please write to support@westgrid.ca to discuss whether you should maintain PETSc in your own directory or whether your requirements are sufficiently generic to use a version installed by WestGrid staff.
