Hi<br>
<br>
<br>
I am using Petsc solve ODE nonlinear problem.<br>
<br>
I was told to use direct method: umfpackage because of the jacobian matrix is 1860 by 1860.<br>
<br>
But the time consumption is still too big:<br>
<br>
TSSetType(ts,TSBEULER)<br>
<br>
time ./pihm -log_summary -ksp_type preonly -pc_type lu -pc_factor_mat_solver_package umfpack<br>
<br>
I got the result:<br>
<br><br>
When I use TSSetType(ts,TSSUNDIALS), it is fast:<br>
<br>
<br><br>
How can I find the reason why BEULER is so slow?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You SNES is not converging.
