                                      <br>
                                      I'm running a CFD code which
                                      solves the momentum and Poisson
                                      eqns.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      Due to poor scaling with HYPRE at
                                      higher cpu no., I decided to try
                                      using PETSc with boomeramg and
                                      gamg.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      I tested for some small cases and
                                      it work well. However, for the
                                      large problem which has poor
                                      scaling, it gives an error when I
                                      change my Poisson solver from pure
                                      HYPRE to PETSc with boomeramg and
                                      gamg.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      The error is :<br>
                                      <br>
                                      Caught signal number 11 SEGV:
                                      Segmentation Violation, probably
                                      memory access out of range<br>
                                      <br>
                                      I tried using:<br>
                                      <br>

                                      -poisson_pc_type hypre

                                      -poisson_pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1<br>
                                      <br>
                                      but they all gave similar error.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      So why is this so? How should I
                                      troubleshoot? I am now running a

    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    I tried to use the different options like ML, MG BoomerAMG and while
    they worked for the small problem, it failed for the large problem.
    I checked and compared the 2D Poisson example with my 3D Poisson
    subroutine. I found that my subroutine is very similar to my
    momentum subroutine, which is based on KSPSolve:<br>
    <br>
    0. DMDACreate, DMDACreate3d etc<br>
    1. Assemble matrix<br>
    2. KSPSetOperators, KSPSetType etc<br>
    3. KSPSolve<br>
    <br>
    However, the 2D Poisson example uses SNESSetDM, SNESSolve etc. So
    does it matter if I use SNESSolve or KSPSolve?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not if you are using Algebraic Multigrid. "It failed for the large problem" is not descriptive enough. Please send the output of</div><div><br></div><div>  -ksp_view -ksp_monitor_true_residual</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
