its capabilities in terms of high-performance I/O for large amount of
data. The HDF5 interfaces in deal.II support read and write operations
both in serial and with MPI.
- GPU support was significantly extended for the current release:
Added features include preconditioners for CUDAWrappers::SparseMatrix
- objects, support for MPI-parallel CUDA data structures, support for

constraints in the matrix-free framework (and thus also support for
adaptively refined meshes).
