Speeding up NonlinearVariationalSolver

0 votes

Hello
I am solving a boussinesq model in 2d which has about 33000 dofs. I use NonlinearVariationalSolver with default settings which should use umfpack (right?).

Each iteration takes more time than it should for such a small problem.

Are there any ways I can speed up this ?

I am using the mac binary.

Thanks

Just curious, how long are you talking in ms per dof?
