# KSPGMRESModifiedGramSchmidtOrthogonalization
This is the basic orthogonalization routine using modified Gram-Schmidt.
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode KSPGMRESModifiedGramSchmidtOrthogonalization(KSP ksp, PetscInt it)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***ksp -*** KSP object, must be associated with `KSPGMRES`, `KSPFGMRES`, or `KSPLGMRES` Krylov method
- ***its -*** one less then the current GMRES restart iteration, i.e. the size of the Krylov space
## Options Database Keys
- ***-ksp_gmres_modifiedgramschmidt -*** Activates `KSPGMRESModifiedGramSchmidtOrthogonalization()`
## Notes
In general this is much slower than `KSPGMRESClassicalGramSchmidtOrthogonalization()` but has better stability properties.
