Does it help if the matrices are columnwise-blocks? I could assemble the entire matrix in a "column kernel" and then perform surgery on it? --cjc On 05/01/15 09:39, David Ham wrote:

Oh yes, good isolation of the problem.
If alpha also depends on values of A, do we have a problem there too?
Yes. Same problem. There is no current way for a parallel loop to read the entries of a matrix.
