TaoSetConvergenceHistory#

Sets the array used to hold the convergence history.

Synopsis#

#include "petsctao.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoSetConvergenceHistory(Tao tao, PetscReal obj[], PetscReal resid[], PetscReal cnorm[], PetscInt lits[], PetscInt na, PetscBool reset)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

tao - the Tao solver context
obj - array to hold objective value history
resid - array to hold residual history
cnorm - array to hold constraint violation history
lits - integer array holds the number of linear iterations for each Tao iteration
na - size of obj, resid, and cnorm
reset - PETSC_TRUE indicates each new minimization resets the history counter to zero, else it continues storing new values for new minimizations after the old ones

Notes#

If set, Tao will fill the given arrays with the indicated information at each iteration. If ‘obj’,’resid’,’cnorm’,’lits’ are all NULL then space (using size na, or 1000 if na is PETSC_DECIDE) is allocated for the history. If not all are NULL, then only the non-NULL information categories will be stored, the others will be ignored.

Any convergence information after iteration number ‘na’ will not be stored.

This routine is useful, e.g., when running a code for purposes of accurate performance monitoring, when no I/O should be done during the section of code that is being timed.
