Description
Moved here from MATPOWER/matpower#108 by @rwl ...
MUMPS might be a good candidate for a new linear solver option in mplinsol. Benchmarking would be required, but its support for parallelism may make it a good alternative to PARDISO when solving large systems, but without the license restrictions.
It includes a MATLAB/Octave interface. While this doesn't work with MPI-based distributed memory parallelism, it does support shared memory, multithreaded parallelism through OpenMP and multithreaded BLAS implementations.

Research direction
Start by locating mplinsolve() and the mplinsol solver-option handling. Read the MUMPS MATLAB/Octave interface documentation and compare its behavior with the existing PARDISO option. Done means MUMPS is available as a solver option and benchmarking shows how it performs for large systems.
