I'll defer to Mark on the "multigrid philosophy" and agree with him on the practice. It is always reasonable to try with and without the Krylov accelerator and pick what is fastest. Barry On May 1, 2012, at 9:36 AM, Mark F. Adams wrote: > > On May 1, 2012, at 9:40 AM, Barry Smith wrote

I have a 2d resistive mhd code that has an interface to both agmg and various multigrid solvers available from PETSc including gamg, hypre and ml. I'm not that familiar with multigrid and so it is difficult for me to know how to experiment with the various mg packages and tune them to my particula
