Hello, Thanks for the work ! It is ok now, i check with Nsight system, the diagonal is indeed computed on the device. How much time it saves ? I guess it depends of the number of iterations for Gmres, the lower, the more it is significant. In my case, with 5 158 400 rows for the matrix, 45 iterations of GMRES, time to solve decrease 1.160s from to 0.671s on a RTX A6000.

Please give it a try and let us know if it causes any difficulties or, hopefully, improves your code's performance significantly. Sorry for the long delay, NVIDIA is hiring too many PETSc developers away from us.

If petsc/kokkos meet your needs, then just use them.

The matrix is preallocated once with MatSetPreallocationCOO() then filled each time step with MatSetValuesCOO() and we use device pointers for coo_i, coo_j, and coefficients values. It is working fine with a GMRES Ksp solver and PC Jacobi but we are surprised to see that every time step, during PCSetUp, MatGetDiagonal_SeqAIJ is called whereas the matrix is on the device. Looking at the API, it seems there is no MatGetDiagonal_SeqAIJCUSPARSE() but a MatGetDiagonal_SeqAIJKOKKOS(). Does it mean we should use Kokkos backend in PETSc to have Jacobi preconditioner built directly on device ? Or I am doing something wrong ? NB: Gmres is running well on device. I could use -ksp_reuse_preconditioner to avoid Jacobi being recreated each solve on host but it increases significantly the number of iterations.
