Thank you for your reply, since the problem I have is ICC took too much 
memory, but I think I can fix it with reorderring the matrix.

My matrix is SeqSBAIJ and ICC is used as preconditioner, I think the 
default orderring is "natural", while I think nested-dissection is what 
I need.

However, when I choose nested dissection with - 
*pc_factor_mat_ordering_type nd, this is what comes out:

PS: which reorderring schemas are symmetric?

Thanks alot
