Hell Matt,
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for the information.</div>
<div>I am still trying it now.</div>
<div>But I observed an interesting thing about the performance difference when running ex8.c about the ASM.</div>
<div>When using Mvapich2 for mph, its convergence speed is much faster than OpenMPI.</div>
<div>Is it becasue the ASM function has been optimized based on Mvapich2?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, it is probably because you have a different partition on the two cases. For performance questions, we</div><div>need to see the output of -log_summary for each case.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">

<div>The subKSPs do not have to do with MPI. On each rank, you get the local KSPs.</div>
