Description

petsc website

PETSc, The Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation, is a suite of data structures and routines developed by Argonne National Laboratory for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations. It is the world’s most widely used parallel numerical software library for partial differential equations and sparse matrix computations.
