This is a symmetric graph, but not a symmetric matrix, though the asymmetry is only due to boundary conditions (boundary rows have only a diagonal nonzero; the other zeros are still stored explicitly). Do you have a preference about how this is handled? (I don't think we should need extra options to handle this extremely common case.)<br>

Hello all,<br>
I did some other tests. Now, it is narrow down to this
situation:<br>
The domain and grid size is: 163*81*41 with 0.0125 = dx=dy=dz.
The boundary condition is still the same. <br>
The code runs well with 4 processes while the same problem
occurs when I was trying to use more than 4 processes (e.g. 6 or 8
processes). <br>
<br>
Hope this helps to detect the problem. <br>
<br>
thanks,<br>

<pre>Dear folks,
Here I came across a problem.
[0]PETSC ERROR: Petsc has generated inconsistent data!
[0]PETSC ERROR: Have un-symmetric graph (apparently). Use
'-pc_gamg_sym_graph true' to symetrize the graph or '-pc_gamg_threshold
0.0' if the matrix is structurally symmetric.!
My code basically uses PETSc /src/ksp/ksp/example/tutorial/ex45.c
to solve the Poisson equation with the Dirichlet BC in x-direction and
the Periodic BC in y- and z- direction.
The executable file is:
mpiexec -f $PBS_NODEFILE -np 32 ./ex45 -pc_type gamg -ksp_type cg
-pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1 -mg_levels_ksp_max_it 1 -mg_levels_ksp_type
richardson -ksp_rtol 1.0e-7
There is no problem for my code when I use small computational
domain (83*41*21 with single core and even 163*81*41 with 4 processes).
However, when I increase the domain size (323*161*81 with 32 processes),
the error comes up. I wonder what's the possible reason of this kind of
problem. Do you need any of my output in order to do some further
inspection? or I just need to blindly add '-pc_gamg_sym_graph true' in
PETSc option?
thanks,
Alan
