+### Linear solvers
 
-#### SCS on GPU
+`SCS` uses a linear solver internally, see
+[this section](https://www.cvxgrp.org/scs/linear_solver/index.html#linear-system-solver)
+of `SCS` documentation. `SCS.jl` ships with
+* `SCS.DirectSolver` (sparse direct, the default) and
+* `SCS.LinearSolver` (sparse indirect, by conjugate gradient)
+enabled.
+
+The find currently available linear solvers one can inspect `SCS.available_solvers`:
+```julia
+julia> using SCS
+
+julia> SCS.available_solvers
+2-element Vector{DataType}:
+ SCS.DirectSolver
+ SCS.IndirectSolver
+```
+
+To select the linear solver of choice
+ * pass the `linear_solver` option to `JuMP.optimizer_with_attributes`, or to `MOI.OptimizerWithAttributes`;
+ * specify the solver as the first argument when using `scs_solve` directly (see scetion Low-level wrapper below).
+
+#### SCS with MKL Pardiso linear solver
+
+To enable the MKL Pardiso (direct sparse) solver one needs to load `MKL_jll`
+**before** `SCS`:
+
+```julia
+julia> import Pkg
+
+julia> Pkg.add(Pkg.PackageSpec(name = "MKL_jll", version = "2022.2"))
+
+julia> using MKL_jll    # This must be called before `using SCS`.
+
+julia> using SCS
+
+julia> SCS.available_solvers
+3-element Vector{DataType}:
+ SCS.DirectSolver
+ SCS.IndirectSolver
+ SCS.MKLDirectSolver
+```
+
+The `MKLDirectSolver` is available on `Linux x86_64` platform only.
+
+#### SCS with Sparse GPU indirect solver (CUDA only)
+
+> Note: as of version 1.0 the support for the GPU solver is broken (see
+[this issue](https://github.com/jump-dev/SCS.jl/issues/245)).
+
+To enable the indirect linear solver on gpu one needs to load `CUDA_jll`
+**before** `SCS`:
