fluid-structure interaction code. I use PETSc tools (KSP) to solve for the solid phase (FEA) which is carried out under a different communicator (FEA_Comm). <br><br>Unless I am doing something wrong, I have found that the command
line options: -ksp_type; -mat_partitioning_type, don't work if there
are 2 communicators. But for single communicator they work. Please see
the attached files containing output of -log_summary for 2 different codes (scroll down to the end). One with single communicator and the other with two communicators. Both the output have been generated with the same PETSc compilation.<br><br>Futher -log_summary results are not able to detect all the events that have been registered if they are not in the WORLD communicator.<br><br><br>Thank you<br>Irfan<br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Matthew Knepley" <knepley@gmail.com><br>To: "PETSc users list" <petsc-users@mcs.anl.gov><br>Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 8:03:00 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern<br>Subject: Re: Multiple communicators<br><br>On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 6:59 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:irfan.khan@gatech.edu" target="_blank">irfan.khan@gatech.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
