On the other hand, newer versions of <acronym>deal.II</acronym> have
- interfaces to the <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/">PETSc</a> library
- that implements a lot of functionality for distributed linear algebra,
- i.e. for operations on vectors and matrices that are distributed across a
- cluster of machines coupled via MPI. By using these wrapper classes for
- linear algebra, it is possible to implement programs that work on truly
- large problems by distributing computations.
