[petsc-dev] Algebraic Multigrid

[Ari Rappaport]

So I commented out the line PCSetType(pc, PCGAMG). The line KSPSetFromOptions(ksp) was already in the code at the end of our initialization routine. I also added .petscrc to the working dir. Here is the current output. It seems as if Option left: name:-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi (no value) is still present in the output..I dunno.

At the end of this you have: 



#PETSc Option Table entries: 
-ksp_view 
-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi 
-options_left 
#End of PETSc Option Table entries 
There is one unused database option. It is: 
Option left: name:-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi (no value) 


So this jacobi parameter is not being used. 


Do you call KPSSetFromOptions? Do you set solver parameters in the code? Like PCGAMG? 


You should not set anything in the code, it just confuses things at this point. Use KSPSetFromOptions(). You can hardwire stuff before this call, this just lets you set the defaults, but you should always call this last to let command line parameters override the defaults. 


You can put this in a .petscrc file in the working directory and try again.
