<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">In our code we have
our own linear system solver, optimized for a
distributed 3 block diagonal matrix.<br>
We are testing its performance against MUMPS and

We interfaced this solver with PETSc matrix and vector

My question: what can I do to make the memory allocated

PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage?</div>

This function just uses the process resident size (like
getrusage(3)) so that external memory is automatically
included. If those packages had their own memory profiling
support, we could use it, but they do not so we can't give
finer grained information about the memory they are using.</div>

Hi,<br>
I'm a bit confused:<br>
The web page about PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage says: gets the current
amount of memory used that was PetscMalloc()ed <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>I don't think it does:</div><div style><br></div><div style> <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage.html">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscMemoryGetCurrentUsage.html</a></div>

So, how then it can include the external memory if it is not
allocated by PetscMalloc() ?<br>
Thank you.<br>
