MatSeqBAIJSetPreallocation

Sets the block size and expected nonzeros per row in the matrix. For good matrix assembly performance the user should preallocate the matrix storage by setting the parameter nz (or the array nnz). By setting these parameters accurately, performance during matrix assembly can be increased by more than a factor of 50.

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode PETSCMAT_DLLEXPORT MatSeqBAIJSetPreallocation(Mat B,PetscInt bs,PetscInt nz,const PetscInt nnz[])

Collective on MPI_Comm

Input Parameters

	A	- the matrix
	bs	- size of block
	nz	- number of block nonzeros per block row (same for all rows)
	nnz	- array containing the number of block nonzeros in the various block rows (possibly different for each block row) or PETSC_NULL

Options Database Keys

-mat_no_unroll -uses code that does not unroll the loops in the block calculations (much slower)

-mat_block_size -size of the blocks to use

C++ variants

MatSeqBAIJSetPreallocation(Mat A,PetscInt bs,const PetscInt nnz[])

MatSeqBAIJSetPreallocation(A,bs,0,nnz)

Notes

If the nnz parameter is given then the nz parameter is ignored

The block AIJ format is fully compatible with standard Fortran 77 storage. That is, the stored row and column indices can begin at either one (as in Fortran) or zero. See the users' manual for details.
