[petsc-users] boomeramg memory usage

[Klaij, Christiaan]

I'm solving a 3D Poisson equation on a 200x200x100 grid using
CG and algebraic multigrid as preconditioner. I noticed that with
boomeramg, the memory increases as the number of procs increases:

1 proc:    2.8G
2 procs:   2.8G
4 procs:   5.2G
8 procs:   >12G (max reached, swapping)

The memory usage is obtained from top. When using ml or gamg (all
with PETSc defaults), the memory usage remains more or less
constant. Something wrong with my install? Some Hypre option I
should set?
