 GMGPolar is a performant geometric multigrid solver using implicit extrapolation to raise the convergence order. It is based on meshes in tensor- or product-format. GMGPolar's focus applications are geometries that can be described by polar or curvilinear coordinates for which suited smoothing procedures have been developed.
