PCSMG#

the hypre (structured grid) SMG multigrid solver

Options Database Keys#

-pc_smg_its - number of iterations of SMG to use as preconditioner
-pc_smg_num_pre_relax - number of smoothing steps before coarse grid
-pc_smg_num_post_relax - number of smoothing steps after coarse grid
-pc_smg_tol - tolerance of SMG

Notes#

This is for CELL-centered descretizations

This must be used with the MATHYPRESTRUCT MatType.

This does not provide all the functionality of hypre’s SMG solver, it supports only one block per process defined by a PETSc DMDA.

See PCSYSPFMG, PCSMG, PCPFMG, and PCHYPRE for access to hypre’s other preconditioners
