I know, but I couldn't find a dense gpu type in the petsc manual, please 
correct me if there is any.

I am unable to do that as somehow I am having no output when I use that option. 
I also tried to explicitly call PetscLogView but still nothing is printed out.
If I try with one of the slepc examples, I get the output.
Why is this happening? If I run my code with -info or -log_trace I see their 
output, only -log_summary is shy!

I used Xeon processors from 2010, just like the GPUs.
This is not good news, as my supervisor is really optimist about using GPUs and 
getting high speed-ups!
Anyway, at the moment my gpu version is several times slower than the cpu 
version, so even a 2x would be a win now :D
