“Being fastest or modern doesn’t change the fact thet It’s proprietary, It’s unfortunate but since we have an open-source alternative the It’s the only way.”

Useful links, ready-made PARDISO .dll library package (just download and unpack the .whl archive):
“You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.”
I doubt it. It is a principle based on the licenses.
Maybe we should try to add support for other open-source solvers (trilinos, petsc, strumpack, superLU, suitesparse)?
The more alternatives for solvers, the better. We often see problems related to solvers, especially with PastiX. But I don’t know how difficult it is to implement.
It takes time to do it properly and to take care of the bugs/updates in the solvers. See the case of Pastix, which is relatively fresh and has proven challenging to compile and maintain…
