Re: KSP/PC choice

Yes, I monitor it, but that doesn't seem to give me any helpful information -- except that it stagnates of course.


However you can  try this setting,
-ksp_type gmres
-ksp_gmres_restart 30
-pc_type asm
-pc_asm_overlap 2
-sub_pc_type ilu
-sub_pc_factor_zeropivot 0
-sub_pc_ilu_levels 3

Thank you, I tried it, and it worked well for a test case. However, for the real application, the PC eats up all my memory (even in cases where my former setting did work).


Any hints (except buying a larger computer)?

Might some sub_ksp method help?

Best Regards,

Tim
