+PETSc, the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation,
+pronounced PET-see (/ˈpɛt-siː/), is a suite of data structures and
+routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific
+applications modeled by partial differential equations. It supports
+MPI, and GPUs through CUDA, HIP or OpenCL, as well as hybrid MPI-GPU
+parallelism; it also supports the NEC-SX Tsubasa Vector Engine. PETSc
+(sometimes called PETSc/TAO) also contains the TAO, the Toolkit for
+Advanced Optimization, software library.
+
+PETSc is developed as open-source, requests and contributions are
+welcome.
