[Dune] Using SuperLU-dist in dune-istl

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hi,
as stated by Jö some months ago [0] ISTL does not use SuperLU-dist. What 
would have to be done by someone willing to implement it?

Does anyone about Eigen [1] or MUMPS [2]? Eigen claims to be the fastes 
non-commercial, non-parallel linear solver compared to blas and I heard 
the solver is very robust to bad conditioned matrices. MUMPS is a direct 
solver which can run in parallel and was used on one of Stuttgart's 
super computers.
How much work would it be to implement support for those libraries in ISTL?

Bye
Christoph
