The baij and sbaij MatLoad() do automatically pad the matrix with rows/columns of the identity to make it divisible by the block size. This is why you are seeing what you are seeing.<br>

Is this a good idea? Maybe not<br>

> I used cage3, a 5x5 matrix from the UFL collection, converted it to binary, and tested the code for block sizes 1 through 7. I added printfs inside all the MatMult_SeqBAIJ_*s in baij2.c and also logged some counts (blocked rows and blocks). The counts make sense if the matrix is being padded somewhere to accommodate for block sizes that are not completely divisible by matrix dimensions.<br>
