About:
PETSc (Complex) is a suite of data structures and routines for the scalable solution of scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations. It supports complex-valued arithmetic, enabling advanced simulations in quantum mechanics and wave propagation. The library provides parallel linear and nonlinear solvers, making it essential for high-performance scientific computing.
Key Features:
  • Scalable parallel solvers for linear and nonlinear systems
  • Extensive support for complex-valued arithmetic
  • Interoperability with Python (petsc4py) and MATLAB
  • Support for a wide variety of preconditioners and Krylov methods
Use Cases:
  • Solving large-scale complex linear systems in quantum physics
  • Simulating electromagnetic wave propagation
  • Large-scale PDE modeling in distributed memory environments
Alternatives:
  • Trilinos – Broader collection of packages; PETSc is more focused on linear algebra and solvers.
  • Eigen – C++ template library for dense/sparse algebra; PETSc is designed for large-scale parallel computation.
