[petsc-users] Problem on LU factorization

[Rongliang Chen]

Hi,

I face a problem on the LU factorization. When I use the PETSC's default LU
factorization, my code does not converge for KSP. When I use superlu with
command line "-sub_pc_factor_mat_solver_package superlu", it said
"[43]PETSC ERROR:

When I use superlu_dist, my code converges well, but I found that the
compute time is very high. What's maybe the problem?  Thanks.

Regards,
