<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I am looking into ways to improve performance of the VecMDot_Seq routine. I am focusing on the variant that gets called when PETSC_THREADCOMM_ACTIVE and PETSC_USE_FORTRAN_KERNEL_MDOT
are NOT defined.<br>
<br>
My current version of PETSc is 3.4.5 due solely to user requirement. I am linking against MKL.<br>
<br>
I tried and failed to implement VecMDot_Seq as a call to cblas_dgemv in ~/mpi/pvec2.c<br>
<br>
cblas_dgemv(CblasRowMajor, CblasNoTrans, nv, n, 1., b, n, xbase, 1, 0., work, 1);<br>
<br>
I could not figure out a way to extract the vectors from 'Vec y[]' and store them as rows of an allocated array.<br>
<br>
This user post starts off with a similar request (how to construct a matrix from many vectors)<br>

<br>
I understand that this sort of memory shuffling is expensive. I was just hoping to prove the point to myself that it's possible.<br>
<br>
The action performed by VecMDot_Seq is the same as matrix-vector multiplication, so I was wondering why it wasn't implemented as a call ?gemv?
