PCCHOLESKY#
Uses a direct solver, based on Cholesky factorization, as a preconditioner
Options Database Keys#
-pc_factor_reuse_ordering - Activate
PCFactorSetReuseOrdering()-pc_factor_mat_solver_type - Actives
PCFactorSetMatSolverType()to choose the direct solver, like superlu-pc_factor_reuse_fill - Activates
PCFactorSetReuseFill()-pc_factor_fill
- Sets fill amount-pc_factor_in_place - Activates in-place factorization
-pc_factor_mat_ordering_type <nd,rcm,…> - Sets ordering routine
Notes#
Not all options work for all matrix formats
Usually this will compute an “exact” solution in one iteration and does
not need a Krylov method (i.e. you can use -ksp_type preonly, or
KSPSetType(ksp,KSPPREONLY) for the Krylov method
