<div dir="ltr">I guess I missed out an important piece of information, due to legacy code issues, I am working with Petsc version 2.3.2. Unfortunately, it doesn't have <span style="font-size:12.8px">PCFactorSetMatOrderingType(). Thanks for the advice though. I still don't understand, why would it ask for so much memory, it is almost 16 Petabytes!
