PCLU#
Uses a direct solver, based on LU factorization, as a preconditioner
Options Database Keys#
-pc_factor_reuse_ordering - Activate
PCFactorSetReuseOrdering()
-pc_factor_mat_solver_type - Actives
PCFactorSetMatSolverType()
to choose the direct solver, like superlu-pc_factor_reuse_fill - Activates
PCFactorSetReuseFill()
-pc_factor_fill
- Sets fill amount-pc_factor_in_place - Activates in-place factorization
-pc_factor_mat_ordering_type <nd,rcm,…> - Sets ordering routine
-pc_factor_pivot_in_blocks <true,false> - allow pivoting within the small blocks during factorization (may increase stability of factorization.
-pc_factor_shift_type
- Sets shift type or -1 for the default; use ‘-help’ for a list of available types-pc_factor_shift_amount
- Sets shift amount or -1 for the default-pc_factor_nonzeros_along_diagonal - permutes the rows and columns to try to put nonzero value along the diagonal.
-pc_factor_mat_solver_type
- use an external package for the solve, seeMatSolverType
for possibilities-mat_solvertype_optionname - options for a specific solver package, for example -mat_mumps_cntl_1
Notes#
Not all options work for all matrix formats
Run with -help to see additional options for particular matrix formats or factorization algorithms
Usually this will compute an “exact” solution in one iteration and does
not need a Krylov method (i.e. you can use -ksp_type preonly, or
KSPSetType
(ksp,KSPPREONLY
) for the Krylov method
