See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconjugate_gradient_stabilized_method Tests have shown that PBiCGStab with the DILU preconditioner is more robust, reliable and shows faster convergence (~2x) than PBiCG with DILU, in particular in parallel where PBiCG occasionally diverges. This remarkable improvement over PBiCG prompted the update of all tutorial cases currently using PBiCG to use PBiCGStab instead.
