# KSPPIPELCG

Deep pipelined (length l) Conjugate Gradient method. This method has only a single non-blocking global reduction per iteration, compared to 2 blocking reductions for standard CG. The reduction is overlapped by the matrix-vector product and preconditioner application of the next l iterations. The pipeline length l is a parameter of the method.

### Options Database Keys

| -ksp_pipelcg_pipel | - pipelined length
| -ksp_pipelcg_lmin | - approximation to the smallest eigenvalue of the preconditioned operator (default: 0.0)
| -ksp_pipelcg_lmax | - approximation to the largest eigenvalue of the preconditioned operator (default: 0.0)
| -ksp_pipelcg_monitor | - output where/why the method restarts when a sqrt breakdown occurs
| see KSPSolve() for additional options

### 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.

### Example usage

### [*] KSP ex2, no preconditioner, pipel = 2, lmin = 0.0, lmax = 8.0

$mpiexec -n 14 ./ex2 -m 1000 -n 1000 -ksp_type pipelcg -pc_type none -ksp_norm_type natural -ksp_rtol 1e-10 -ksp_max_it 1000 -ksp_pipelcg_pipel 2 -ksp_pipelcg_lmin 0.0 -ksp_pipelcg_lmax 8.0 -log_view

### [*] SNES ex48, bjacobi preconditioner, pipel = 3, lmin = 0.0, lmax = 2.0, show restart information

$mpiexec -n 14 ./ex48 -M 150 -P 100 -ksp_type pipelcg -pc_type bjacobi -ksp_rtol 1e-10 -ksp_pipelcg_pipel 3 -ksp_pipelcg_lmin 0.0 -ksp_pipelcg_lmax 2.0 -ksp_pipelcg_monitor -log_view
