| -pc_factor_levels <k> | - number of levels of fill for ILU(k) | |
| -pc_factor_in_place | - only for ILU(0) with natural ordering, reuses the space of the matrix for its factorization (overwrites original matrix) | |
| -pc_factor_diagonal_fill | - fill in a zero diagonal even if levels of fill indicate it wouldn't be fill | |
| -pc_factor_reuse_ordering | - reuse ordering of factorized matrix from previous factorization | |
| -pc_factor_fill <nfill> | - expected amount of fill in factored matrix compared to original matrix, nfill > 1 | |
| -pc_factor_nonzeros_along_diagonal | - reorder the matrix before factorization to remove zeros from the diagonal, this decreases the chance of getting a zero pivot | |
| -pc_factor_mat_ordering_type <natural,nd,1wd,rcm,qmd> | - set the row/column ordering of the factored matrix | |
| -pc_factor_pivot_in_blocks | - for block ILU(k) factorization, i.e. with BAIJ matrices with block size larger than 1 the diagonal blocks are factored with partial pivoting (this increases the stability of the ILU factorization |
For BAIJ matrices this implements a point block ILU
The "symmetric" Section 1.5 Writing Application Codes with PETSc of this preconditioner is not actually symmetric since L is not transpose(U) even when the matrix is not symmetric since the U stores the diagonals of the factorization.
If you are using MATSEQAIJCUSPARSE matrices (or MATMPIAIJCUSPARESE matrices with block Jacobi), factorization is never done on the GPU).
