+Permissable Modifications
+-------------------------
+
+The authors of this benchmark invite vendors to propose any
+algorithmic improvements that: (1.) do not alter the current Multigrid
+solver approach; and (2.) follow the advice given in previous
+subsections. Please email the authors with any questions about what is
+or is not in scope. Some additional guidance is provided below.
+
+A minimum of one level of V-cycle is required for both sub-hierarchies
+to ensure the Trilinos MueLu Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) code path is
+exercised. This behavior is reflected in the benchmark problem and
+needs to be preserved with vendor changes. In essence, the solver sets
+up two sub-problems, and each is solved using AMG. Example Multigrid
+output that demonstrates this is below. It is appropriate for the
+following characteristics of this output to be preserved.
+ 
+* ``Scalar`` should be ``double`` (e.g., line 838)
+* ``Number of levels`` should be at least ``2`` (e.g., line 839)
+* ``Cycle type`` should be ``V`` (e.g., line 842)

+Additionally, there are a couple of parameters within

+the Multigrid work. The specified target size for the coarse grid
+problems should not be modified.  These parameters are highlighted
+below for reference.
