Extracting the Hypre preconditioner type

[Stephen R Ball]

Hi

In a previous email I requested that you include in PETSc a means for
extracting the Hypre
preconditioner type used. You told me that this would be included in the
next PETSc release.
(see original message below).

I have just downloaded version 2.3.2 but can't find something like a
PCHYPREGetType()
routine. Has such a feature been included in this release?

Regards

Stephen

Hi

Can you tell me if there is any way I can extract the name of the Hypre
preconditioner type used i.e. boomeramg, euclid, parasails or pilut? Failing
that is there any chance you could create a routine (with a Fortran 
interface) called PCHYPREGetType() that returns the Hypre preconditioner
type used?

I agree that this is an oversight. I will put it in the development version,
and it
will appear in the next release.



Also, can you tell me if there is there any likelihood in the near future
for Portland Group Inc (PGI) compiler support to be provided for routines 
VecGetArrayF90() and VecRestoreArrayF90()?

This is more problematic. Most F90 compilers have an array descriptor that
is a
variant of the NAG format. However P a GF90 does not, and these refuse to
tell
us the layout. Thus we cannot add those routines.

   Thanks,
