SNESSetConvergenceHistory#

Sets the array used to hold the convergence history.

Synopsis#

#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode SNESSetConvergenceHistory(SNES snes, PetscReal a[], PetscInt its[], PetscInt na, PetscBool reset)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

  • snes - iterative context obtained from SNESCreate()

  • a - array to hold history, this array will contain the function norms computed at each step

  • its - integer array holds the number of linear iterations for each solve.

  • na - size of a and its

  • reset - PETSC_TRUE indicates each new nonlinear solve resets the history counter to zero, else it continues storing new values for new nonlinear solves after the old ones

Notes#

If ‘a’ and ‘its’ are NULL then space is allocated for the history. If ‘na’ PETSC_DECIDE or PETSC_DEFAULT then a default array of length 10000 is allocated.

This routine is useful, e.g., when running a code for purposes of accurate performance monitoring, when no I/O should be done during the section of code that is being timed.
