The third layer is a set of interconnected packages +providing preconditioners, various types of solvers +as well as more advanced techniques like automatic differentiation, +time integration and discretization. + +For now, there are two choices for the second layer +with \epetra{} providing \MPI{} only parallelism +and the newer \tpetra{} (templated Petra) providing additional shared memory +parallelism and GPU capabilities through \kokkos{}, referred to as \MPIx. +Since the interface of \tpetra{} was overhauled and modernized +many of the packages in the third layer now have two generations as well. +Therefore, the \MPI-only set of packages is also referred to as the +\epetra{} stack and the \MPIx{} packages form the \tpetra{} stack. +As a consequence of the different interfaces, +a decision was made in the \trilinos{} project to deprecate the \epetra{} stack +and only provide basic maintenance until a full +removal from their repository in the course of 2025. + \begin{itemize} - \item What is a \textit{stack}?
