error in creating 3d DA

2008-04-07 Thread Randall Mackie
I've run into a problem with my code where, for a smaller problem, it bombs out in creating a 3D DA (with error message about the partition being too fine in the z direction) for the case where np=121, but works fine for the case np=484. I would think that the creation of the DA should work fine f

Hello, I am trying to run a PETSc code on a parallel machine (it may be relevant that each node contains four AMD Opteron Quad-Core 64-bit processors (16 cores in all) as an SMP unit with 32GB of memory) and I'm observing some behaviour I don't understand. I'm using PETSC_COMM_SELF in order to

Stalling once linear system becomes a certain size

2008-04-07 Thread Matthew Knepley
It sounds like he is saying that the iterative solvers fail to converge. It could be that the systems become much more ill-conditioned. When solving anything, first use LU -ksp_type preonly -pc_type lu to determine if the system is consistent. Then use something simple, like GMRES by itself
