OpenMP and Linear solvers

+3 votes

Hello

In addition to assembly, does setting

parameters["num_threads"] = x

also enable the use of (PETSc) linear solvers with OpenMP threads?

I may be mistaken, but I remember coming across a 'parameter' variable in FEniCS that allows querying whether PETSc supports openmp/threads but I can't remember what it is or how to access it?
