[petsc-users] Segmentation fault in MatAssembly

[Bikash Kanungo]

Hi,

I'm getting segmentation fault while assembling large matrices (~4000000 X
4000000) across 480 processors. The error usually shows up randomly only in
large problems (i.e, when I exceed matrix size of ~2000000x200000). There
are few rows in my matrix for which non-local contributions are added from
all other processors. So I believe the buffer size during MatSetValues gets
larger with matrix size which in some way signals a segmentation fault. So
is there a smart way of avoiding such error?

Regards,
Bikash
