PETSCPARTITIONERMULTISTAGE

“multistage” - A PetscPartitioner object using a multistage distribution strategy

Options Database Keys

• -petscpartitioner_multistage_strategy strategy - Either PETSCPARTITIONER_MS_STRATEGY_NODE, or PETSCPARTITIONER_MS_STRATEGY_MSECTION

• -petscpartitioner_multistage_node_size nranks - Number of processes per computing node (or PETSC_DECIDE)

• -petscpartitioner_multistage_node_interleaved (true|false) - Assign ranks round-robin.

• -petscpartitioner_multistage_msection splits - Number of splits per level in recursive m-section splits (use 2 for bisection)

• -petscpartitioner_multistage_tpwgts (true|false) - Use target partition weights in stage partitioner

Notes

The default multistage strategy use PETSCPARTITIONER_MS_STRATEGY_NODE and automatically discovers node information using MPI_Comm_split_type. PETSCPARTITIONER_MS_STRATEGY_MSECTION is more for testing purposes.

Options for single stage partitioners are prefixed by -petscpartitioner_multistage_levels_. For example, to use parmetis in all stages, -petscpartitioner_multistage_levels_petscpartitioner_type parmetis
