<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Given matrix A and column vector b. I am trying to do a Least squares problem Ax=b on PETSc. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A has dimenstion 2683x1274</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have A given to me in a text file in the form of three columns (Row, Column,NonZeroElement).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>E.g. If a matrix of dimension 2x3 such as </div>
<div> </div>
<div>0 5 3</div>
<div>5 6 0 </div>
<div> would be given in the text file as:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1 2 5</div>
<div>1 3 3</div>
<div>2 1 5</div>
<div>2 2 6</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The third column just lists the non-zero elements and the corresponding first two columsn the position,.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I am trying to input this textfile data into PETSc matrix A. But my matrix takes forever to load. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The same code on small matrices of dimension say 4x3 works perfectly. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have pasted my PETSc code below. Any suggestions on improving it will be helpful.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>***Explanation of my code****: </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For my code I start with two text files: N1.mat and b1.mat----> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>N1.mat containing the matrix A in (Row,Column,Nonzeroelement) format and b1.mat containing the right hand side b. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then I read in the three columns of N1.mat as a matrix B which I use to re-create the matrix A. The dimension of B is lenB x 3 where lenB is the number of lines in the text file containing B(39051 in my case). <br>
</div>
<div>b1.mat gets read in directly as a the vector b. </div>
<div> </div>
