    <p>Hei,</p>
    <p>the code I attached to the original mail should work out of the
      box, but requires armadillo and PETSc to compile/run. Armadillo
      stores the data in column-major order, and therefore I am
      transposing the matrices before and after transferring using
      .st().</p>
    <p>Thank you for your help!</p>
    <p>Regards,</p>
    <p>Roland<br>

            <br>
            I would like to scale a given matrix with a fixed scalar
            value, and<br>
            therefore would like to use MatScale(). Nevertheless, I
            observed an<br>
            interesting behavior depending on the size of the matrix,
            and currently<br>
            I am not sure why.<br>
            <br>
            When running the attached code, I intend to divide all
            elements in the<br>
            matrix by a constant factor of 10. If I have three or fewer
            rows and<br>
            1024 columns, I get the expected result. If I have four or
            more rows<br>
            (with the same number of columns), suddenly my scaling
            factor seems to<br>
            be 0.01 instead of 0.1 for the PETSc-matrix. The
            armadillo-based matrix<br>
            still behaves as expected.<br>

          <div>1) It looks like you assume the storage in your armadillo
            matrix is row major. I would be surprised if this was true.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>2) I think it is unlikely that there is a problem with
            MatScale, so I would guess either you have a memory
            overwrite</div>
          <div>or are misinterpreting your output. If you send something
            I can run, I will figure out which it is.</div>

            I currently do not understand that behavior, but do not see
            any problems<br>
            with the code either. Are there any possible explanations
