MATAIJSPOOLES

MATAIJSPOOLES = "aijspooles" - A matrix type providing direct solvers (LU or Cholesky) for sequential and parellel matrices via the external package SPOOLES. If SPOOLES is installed (see the manual for instructions on how to declare the existence of external packages), a matrix type can be constructed which invokes SPOOLES solvers. After calling MatCreate(...,A), simply call MatSetType(A,MATAIJSPOOLES). This matrix type is supported for double precision real and complex.

This matrix inherits from MATAIJ. As a result, MatSeqAIJSetPreallocation and MatMPIAIJSetPreallocation are supported for this matrix type. One can also call MatConvert for an inplace conversion to or from the MATAIJ type without data copy.

Options Database Keys
