MatBlockMatSetPreallocation#

For good matrix assembly performance the user should preallocate the matrix storage by setting the parameter nz (or the array nnz). By setting these parameters accurately, performance during matrix assembly can be increased by more than a factor of 50.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatBlockMatSetPreallocation(Mat B, PetscInt bs, PetscInt nz, const PetscInt nnz[])

Collective

Input Parameters#

  • B - The matrix

  • bs - size of each block in matrix

  • nz - number of nonzeros per block row (same for all rows)

  • nnz - array containing the number of nonzeros in the various block rows (possibly different for each row) or NULL

Notes#

If nnz is given then nz is ignored

Specify the preallocated storage with either nz or nnz (not both). Set nz = PETSC_DEFAULT and nnz = NULL for PETSc to control dynamic memory allocation.
