Smoother settings for AMG

Matt,

 

Sorry, I thought you meant the ones with iteration counts in the
hundreds. I had a typo it was 46 actually (not 43). That's very
interesting that you think it should converge in less than 10
iterations, all I can say is I wish I could get there. This mesh is a
graded mesh and does have some poor aspect ratio elements. For a uniform
mesh I see 20 iterations or so.

 

Thanks,

Harun

	Matt,

	It is from the pressure poisson equation for incompressible
navier-stokes so it is elliptic. Also on 1 cpu, I am able to solve it
with reason able iteration count (i.e., 43 to 1.e-5 true res norm rel
tolerance). It is the parallel runs that really concern me.

Actually, it was the 43 that really concerned me. In my experience, an
MG that is doing what it is supposed
to on Poisson takes < 10 iterations. However, if your grid is pretty
distorted, maybe it can get this bad.

		Hi,
		
		I am trying to solve a system of equations and I am
having difficulty

pc_type) in PETSc for

of CG (ksp_type)
		iteration counts (both columns use block jacobi):

	
	Are you sure you have an elliptic system? These iteration counts
are extremely
	high.

SOR x4
		------------------------------------------------------
		1       |               43              |

		x1 or x4 means 1 or 4 iterations of smoother application
at each AMG
		level (all details from ksp view for the 4 cpu run are
below). The main
		observation is that on 1 cpu, AMG w/ ICC(0) is a clear
winner but falls
		apart in parallel. SOR on the other hand experiences a
1.5X increase in
		iteration count which is totally expected from the
quality of coarsening
		ML delivers in parallel.
		
		I basically would like to find a way (if possible) to
have the number of
		iterations in parallel stay with 1-2X of 1 cpu iteration
count for the
		AMG w/ ICC case. Is there a way to achieve this?
		
		Thanks,
		Harun
