I've asked the LLM Qwen2, and got some hints to track down the problems, which might make sense:
The differences in the convergence history between the CPU and GPU runs could be attributed to several factors, particularly those related to the linear solvers and preconditioners used in your PETSc configuration. Here are some potential causes and suggestions to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
To address these issues, consider the following steps:
By systematically addressing these potential causes, you should be able to identify and mitigate the differences in the convergence history between the CPU and GPU runs.
Issue #50 identified some unexpected behavior when comparing CPU results with GPU results. The convergence history is different when the same PETSc option set is provided for an MG configuration.
Attached are the logs Thomas generated. tandem_GPU.log tandem_CPU.log
The things most likely causing differences in the residual history are probably associated with the ILU and LU solvers. Suggest confirming this by re-running CPU and GPU variants with the following additional options (placed at the end of any existing options).
