| -pc_gasm_total_subdomains <n> | - Sets total number of local subdomains to be distributed among processors | |
| -pc_gasm_view_subdomains | - activates the printing of subdomain indices in PCView(), -ksp_view or -snes_view | |
| -pc_gasm_print_subdomains | - activates the printing of subdomain indices in PCSetUp() | |
| -pc_gasm_overlap <ovl> | - Sets overlap by which to (automatically) extend local subdomains | |
| -pc_gasm_type [basic,restrict,interpolate,none] | - Sets GASM type |
IMPORTANT: If you run with, for example, 3 blocks on 1 processor or 3 blocks on 3 processors you will get a different convergence rate due to the default option of -pc_gasm_type restrict. Use -pc_gasm_type basic to use the standard GASM.
Notes: Each processor can have one or more blocks, but a block cannot be shared by more than one processor. Defaults to one block per processor.
To set options on the solvers for each block append -sub_ to all the KSP, and PC options database keys. For example, -sub_pc_type ilu -sub_pc_factor_levels 1 -sub_ksp_type preonly
To set the options on the solvers separate for each block call PCGASMGetSubKSP() and set the options directly on the resulting KSP object (you can access its PC with KSPGetPC())
