<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div>Here's an abstract of the problem,<br><br></div>I got src and rec, they are 3D images with the same size, say Z, X, Y.<br></div><br>
</div>We call one (Z, X) is a panel and then there's Y panels for both src and rec. BTW, they hold complex numbers.<br><br></div>For example, for the <b>first</b> panel (always process the same panel) of src and rec:<br>
<br></div>Take the first panel of src as our A (20x20),<br></div>take the first column of first panel of rec as our b (20x1),<br></div>solve the linear system and get x (20x1),<br></div>go to next column of the first panel of rec until finish this panel,<br>
</div><div>assemble all the solution x column by column (20x20).</div><div><br></div><div>After finishing the first panel of src and rec, go to next... repeat.<br><br><br></div><div>Hope I explained well of my problem. I used SeqDense matrix for A and Seq vector for b.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Here's the flow,<br><br></div><div>- start<br></div><div>- all the nodes will share all the Y panels, each node will get part of them<br></div><div>- each node will read in its own part of src and rec images<br>
</div><div>- for each node, take a panel of src and rec<br></div><div><b>- create Mat and Vec, fill them<br></b></div><div><b>- create KSP and solve by lsqr<br></b></div><div><b>- get the solution<br></b></div><div><b>- destroy all the petsc object, A, b, x (destroying KSP will give me error here!)</b><br>
</div><div>- repeat for the next panel<br><br><br></div><div>Here's the time (seconds) output from node 2 (random choice):<br><br></div><div> <u><b>entire time for this panel</b></u> <u><i>solving time</i></u><br>

</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The trend is the same, the time is increasing and also starts from a very quick one. <br><br><br></div><div>Since I have thousands of panels for src and rec, the execution time is unbearable as it goes.<br>
</div><div>So I am wondering whether I used the right method? or there's memory issue?<br><br></div><div>Thanks.<br></div></div></div></div>
