<div style="line-height:1.7;color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial"><div>Thanks for your reply! You mean the preconditioner must be the necessary choice for the linear iterative method in PETSc? And the default preconditioner in PETSC is which one? I want to compare them in order to illustrate that PCHYPRE is best one for my problem. If I want to get the matrix after preconditioned (e.g. PAx=Pb, and I want to get PA), is there a function in PETSc?<br>Thanks again!<br>Daye<br></div><br><br><br><div style="position:relative;zoom:1"></div><div id="divNeteaseMailCard"></div><br>At 2018-03-21 18:45:18, "Matthew Knepley" <knepley@gmail.com> wrote:<br> <blockquote id="isReplyContent" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 3:35 AM, ĪŅ <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dayedut123@163.com" target="_blank">dayedut123@163.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="line-height:1.7;color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial"><div>Hi,<br>I want to compare the time cost between preconditioner and unpreconditioner in PETSc.
