# KSPPIPEPRCG

Pipelined predict-and-recompute conjugate gradient Krylov method [CC20]. Pipelined Krylov Methods

## Options Database Key

- -ksp_pipeprcg_recompute_w - recompute the \(w_k\) with \(Ar_k\), default is true

## Notes

This method has only a single non-blocking reduction per iteration, compared to 2 blocking for standard `KSPCG`. The non-blocking reduction is overlapped by the matrix-vector product and preconditioner application.

MPI configuration may be necessary for reductions to make asynchronous progress, which is important for performance of pipelined methods. See What steps are necessary to make the pipelined solvers execute efficiently?
