# MATSOLVERSUPERLU_DIST

Parallel direct solver package for LU factorization Use ./configure --download-superlu_dist --download-parmetis --download-metis --download-ptscotch to have PETSc installed with SuperLU_DIST

Use -pc_type lu -pc_factor_mat_solver_package superlu_dist to us this direct solver

Works with AIJ matrices
