Problem with saving the binary matrix via Matview

[Nguyen, Hung V ERDC-ITL-MS]

Hello,

I have a problem with saving a matrix with the binary viewer
PetscBinaryViewerOpen() for the matrix with nrow=853564, nnzeros=47191472.
The application ran with 32 pes for more than 3 hours without writing any
into file.
However, the same executable ran for small size of application
(nrows-12856,nnzeros=675744) and were able to write successfully binary
files. 

Note: using Totalview I found that it hang in the line of
Matview(matrix->petsc, fd);

Thank you,

-hung

--- code:
      petsc_analyst_mat(matrix->petsc);
      sprintf(file[LOAD_MATRIX],"Matrix.at%f",t_prev);
      PetscViewerBinaryOpen(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,
file[LOAD_MATRIX],FILE_MODE_WRITE,&fd);
      MatView(matrix->petsc, fd);
      PetscViewerDestroy(fd);
