# KSPPIPECR

Pipelined conjugate residual method This method has only a single non-blocking reduction per iteration, compared to 2 blocking for standard CR. The non-blocking reduction is overlapped by the matrix-vector product, but not the preconditioner application.

See also KSPPIPECG, where the reduction is only overlapped with the matrix-vector product.

### 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.
