PCEXOTIC

Two level overlapping Schwarz preconditioner with exotic (non-standard) coarse grid spaces This uses the PCMG infrastructure restricted to two levels and the face and wirebasket based coarse Many brgrid spaces. Many br

Notes: By default this uses GMRES on the fine grid smoother so this should be used with KSPFGMRES or the smoother changed to not use GMRES Many br
