MatCreateMPIAdj#

Creates a sparse matrix representing an adjacency list. The matrix does not have numerical values associated with it, but is intended for ordering (to reduce bandwidth etc) and partitioning.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatCreateMPIAdj(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt m, PetscInt N, PetscInt *i, PetscInt *j, PetscInt *values, Mat *A)

Collective

Input Parameters#

  • comm - MPI communicator

  • m - number of local rows

  • N - number of global columns

  • i - the indices into j for the start of each row

  • j - the column indices for each row (sorted for each row).

  • values - the values

Output Parameter#

  • A - the matrix

Notes#

The indices in i and j start with zero (NOT with one).

You must NOT free the i, values and j arrays yourself. PETSc will free them when the matrix is destroyed; you must allocate them with PetscMalloc(). If you call from Fortran you need not create the arrays with PetscMalloc().

You should not include the matrix diagonals.

If you already have a matrix, you can create its adjacency matrix by a call to MatConvert(), specifying a type of MATMPIADJ.

Possible values for MatSetOption() - MAT_STRUCTURALLY_SYMMETRIC
