Dear PETSc team,

I am interested in a careful evaluation of PETSc GPU performance in our INL cluster.

Any example in PETSc that can show GPU speedup with solving a nonlinear equation?

I talked to Junchao; he suggested that I try SNES/tutorial/ex56. I tried that, but I could not find any speedup using the GPU. I could attach some results of "log_view" later if we would like to see that.

We should note that you will only see speedup in the solver, so that problem has to be pretty large. I believe Mark has good results with it. The assembly is still all on the CPU. I am working on this over break, and hope to have a CEED version of it by the new year. Thanks, Matt

Appreciate any instructions/comments about running a simple PETSc GPU example to get a speedup.

Thanks,

Fande
