MatTransposeMatMult#

Performs matrix-matrix multiplication C=A^T*B.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatTransposeMatMult(Mat A, Mat B, MatReuse scall, PetscReal fill, Mat *C)

Neighbor-wise Collective

Input Parameters#

A - the left matrix
B - the right matrix
scall - either MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX or MAT_REUSE_MATRIX
fill - expected fill as ratio of nnz(C)/(nnz(A) + nnz(B)), use PETSC_DEFAULT if not known

Output Parameter#

C - the product matrix

Notes#

C will be created if MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX and must be destroyed by the user with MatDestroy().

MAT_REUSE_MATRIX can only be used if the matrices A and B have the same nonzero pattern as in the previous call.

This routine is shorthand for using MatProductCreate() with the MatProductType of MATPRODUCT_AtB

To determine the correct fill value, run with -info and search for the string “Fill ratio” to see the value actually needed.

This routine is currently implemented for pairs of MATAIJ matrices and pairs of MATSEQDENSE matrices and classes which inherit from MATSEQAIJ. C will be of the same type as the input matrices.
