  • What language is that, and what does `0.25_dp` mean?
  • It looks like this analysis extends to the successive over-relaxation (SOR) method. Does it extend to the symmetric successive over-relaxation method?
  • The algebraic manipulation that you use to break the dependency seems to be specific to the matrix being Poisson on a finite-difference grid (is that right?). In that case wouldn’t it make more sense to compare against specialized Poisson solvers?
  • "... and this is the whole ballgame: ", "jump out immediately", "... and the idea is disarmingly simple", etc etc.
