[Trilinos-Users] GPU and Multi-threading Support

[Heroux, Michael A]

Epetra provide OpenMP support for sparse matrix multiply kernels in
Epetra_CrsMatrix.  All appropriate operations in Epetra_MultiVector and
Epetra_Vector are also instrumented with OpenMP.  The next version (due out
in about a month) has improved data placement strategies for NUMA nodes, but
is otherwise similar.

Note that use of these kernels with AztecOO has limited impact since AztecOO
performs vector operations in its own native code.  Only the matrix multiply
kernel will see performance improvement.  I believe Thyra has similar
limitations.  Belos and Anasazi don't have these issues.
