I did not configured PETSc with ParMetis support. Should I? <br>
<br>
I figured it out when I tried to use "-pc_gamg_repartition". PETSc
complained that it was not compiled with ParMetis support.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You need ParMetis, or some parallel mesh partitioner, configured to use repartitioning. I would guess that "-pc_gamg_repartition" would not help and might hurt, because it just does the coarse grids, not the fine grid. But it is worth a try. Just configure with --download-parmetis</div><div><br></div><div>The problem is that you are using space filling curves on the background grid and are getting empty processors. Right? The mesh setup phase is not super optimized, but your times</div><div><br></div><div>And you said in your attachment that you added the near null space, but just the constant vector. I trust you mean the three translational rigid body modes. That is the default and so you should not see any difference. If you added one vector of all 1s then that would be bad. You also want the rotational rigid body modes. Now, you are converging pretty well and if your solution does not have much rotation in it the the rotational modes are not needed, but they are required for optimality in general.</div><div> <br></div></div></div>
